One might think 50 Cent would side with Mase after the former Bad Boy rapper called Diddy a "Black Excellence" hypocrite for continuing holding his publishing hostage.

However, that's not the way it went during Fif interview with Cigar Talk.

Instead of going in on his longtime rival Puff, he pointed out that Mase is also a hypocrite because he's done the same thing to up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign.  [Jump to 33 minutes]

"This is just personal shit between the two of them and those feelings are there because they have dealt with each other for years and years and years. That sh*t is deep." 50 said about Puff and Mase. "When he's pointing out the publishing sh*t, he's doing the same shit to young boys now. Fivio [Foreign]. He's doing the same sh* that they did to you, boy. What the fuck you crying about some shit that somebody did to you and you doing it to someone else? Get the fuck out of here man."

"You can't cry over spilled milk later after the fact, look at it and go 'Oh, I should have never did this'... Things you go through make you who you are. At that point, when he did the deal, that's the right deal. If you ask me if Fivio did the right deal, I'd say yeah."

We guess the take away from all of this is that Mase has artists, which we did not know.
