50 Cent Exposes Floyd Mayweather’s Reading Problem on Social Media

Rapper 50 cent posted a video via Instagram on Thursday challenging his former friend to take part in a challenge with a twist.

“This is a special ALS/ELS challenge for you Floyd,” the G-Unit member said. “If you could read one full page of a ‘Harry Potter’ book … I’ll give $750,000 to whatever charitable organization you want to.”

“F— the bucket of ice, man,” he ended the clip with showing him throwing a bucket of ice towards his backyard.

Mayweather did not complete high school due to having to work to support his family.

It is assumed that 50 Cent had been provoked by Mayweather’s interview with MLive.com, during which he was asked about his beefs with 50 Cent, Nelly and T.I.

“God has blessed me with an unbelievable talent, with fast feet, fast hands, unbelievable defense and a very, very sharp mind,” he told the site Thursday. “So I’m thankful for that. Of course, hip hop artists, they come and go. They come and go. But I’m still here.”

Mayweather, who is solely known for boxing, was being very messy saying that because outside of music, 50 cent, T.I., and Nelly are all businessmen. 50 cent not only reunited G-Unit – which he gets paid off of – he has multiple million dollar endorsements including headphones. T.I. has multiple music, movies and executive producer ventures that are very successful and steadily growing. Nelly is currently working with the family of Mike Brown, the unarmed 18yr from St. Louis gunned down by a police officer. The St. Lunatics member is working to ensure justice is sought in his hometown of Ferguson.

So, why can’t we just all get along?

Despite the reading challenge toward the world champion boxer, 50 Cent mixed up his own words calling it a “ELS” challenge in the video, when he meant ESL (English as a Second Language).

Power 105.1′s “The Breakfast Club” released audio of Mayweather having problems reading a drop. It is evident in the audio that Mayweather has challenges and these challenges haven’t stopped him from becoming super rich. Some tutoring and maybe earning a GED will be a result of this public embarrassment from 50 cent who once was his friend.
