Conor McGregor hasn’t forgotten about 50 Cent’s taunts on social media. In a promotional video for Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey, the former UFC champion named 50 as the celebrity he’d most like to fight.
“I’d have to probably say 50 Cent, I’d like to fight him,” McGregor said. “Throughout the course of the [Floyd] Mayweather build-up I used him as a tool, a promotional tool on the free also. I knew he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him into the situation and he responded big time. And we capitalized on that audience, so I was very happy with that and thankful. But then after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly Instagram where he’d make these memes about me constantly.”
He continued, “Every time I’d go onto the internet I’d see 50 Cent has posted up some new stupid meme and I wrote on one of the memes, ‘Old man on the internet making memes’ and then he blocked me. So, he had to block me. And I still see sometimes, I still get tagged in other people saying he’s saying this and he’s saying that. So, I’d like to have a knock-off with 50, aye. So, if you’re listening 50, let’s get it going bud.”
