Floyd Mayweather Jr. Says Rappers Are Using His Name To be Relevant [Video]

Early on Thursday, 50 Cent once again took to Instagram to troll his former BFF, Floyd Mayweather Jr. This latest go round stems from Floyd allegedly saying F**k Fiddy.

Here’s the actual interview of what Floyd did say, when asked about the recent attention he’s been receiving from rappers (TI, Nelly a few weeks ago implied that Floyd doesn’t have a high school diploma and of course 50.)

“I don’t really focus on nothing like that,” Mayweather said. “I’m relevant. I’m relevant. My life is the sh*t. I’m something to talk about.”

“What’s so crazy is this: You know, when people are not relevant, and they’re not moving units like they were once moving … you’ve got to realize, I’ve been relevant for 18 years,” Mayweather said.

“God has blessed me with an unbelievable talent, with fast feet, fast hands, unbelievable defense and a very, very sharp mind. 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 said.

Floyd also mentioned that when he says he’s a $100 million man, it’s true. He owns all his homes and that his fight is already sold out, jury is still out on “their” numbers.

Accurate, but TI and 50 are collecting checks too. The jury is still out on Nelly.
