Let’s rewind.
When 50 Cent handpicked Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. to play his own father, Big Meech, in the hit STARZ series *BMF*, it wasn’t just casting—it was a career launch. Lil Meech wasn’t an actor. He was a struggling rapper with no Hollywood clout. But 50 saw potential and invested heavily: two years of acting school, all expenses paid, mentorship, coaching, and behind-the-scenes grooming. This wasn’t just business—it was personal.
And 50 didn’t stop there. He funneled more than \$5 million in legal revenue to the Flenory family through the show—legit income that could rebuild their name and legacy. With *BMF* poised to become a multi-season franchise, possibly worth up to \$50 million, 50 wasn’t just helping—he was building an empire.
But everything changed in 2024 when Big Meech was released from prison.
Instead of reconnecting with 50, the man who revived the BMF brand, Meech’s first public appearance was with none other than Rick Ross—the same Ross who has been beefing with 50 for over a decade. This wasn’t a coincidence. Ross and Meech weren’t just spotted together—they were hosting events, appearing at car shows, and even throwing a full welcome-home concert.
No shoutout to 50. No thanks. No acknowledgment. Just silence. And for 50, that silence was betrayal.
Then the money questions started.
50 claims he helped the Flenory family earn over \$5 million legally, but now Big Meech is reportedly broke. How? According to reports, Lil Meech blew through money like water—\$100,000 on jeans, nearly half a mil on a custom chain—while his father was allegedly struggling to cover housing costs.
To add insult to injury, 50 says he had to send Lil Meech to rehab during filming. He even claimed that Meech was showing up to set high, throwing up during weapons training, and riding around with tanks of nitrous oxide. He kept quiet for years, handling it all in the background, out of loyalty. But once the loyalty disappeared, so did the silence.
Then came the Instagram trolling. 50 posted memes, jokes, and even a fake GoFundMe page claiming Big Meech needed help paying \$30,000/month for an Airbnb. The caption? “Help Big Screech pay his Airbnb. Shoutout to Quality Control.” Petty? Absolutely. But classic 50.
Things escalated when 50 allegedly bought the halfway house where Big Meech was required to live post-release. Yep—if the rumors are true, Meech was paying rent to 50 Cent. And 50 let it be known. “Business is business,” he smirked. “I’ll buy your masters. You better shut up.”
The internet lost it.
Meanwhile, Lil Meech finally clapped back. He posted that he prayed every day for his father’s release and pledged loyalty to Big Meech over anyone else. His words? “Death before dishonor.” No more middle ground. Meech had chosen sides.
And then came the bombshell—Big Meech wasn’t just ignoring 50. He was reportedly getting financial help from Rick Ross. Even Floyd Mayweather entered the picture, taking Lil Meech shopping, to jewelry stores, and courtside at Lakers games—all while flaunting it on social media.
That was the final straw for 50.
He started blurring Lil Meech’s face out of *BMF* promo pics. He posted old texts where Lil Meech begged him not to turn his back. “You acting like I’m your enemy,” one message read. “I’d take the shirt off my back for you.” But 50 had made up his mind—the loyalty wasn’t real, and the investment was gone.
And it got even messier. 50 posted a text conversation with Tammy Cowins, Big Meech’s old business partner, exposing that she allegedly cooperated with federal agents while Meech was still locked up. The caption? A plug for her upcoming tell-all book and another reminder: 50 has receipts.
Then came the ultimate betrayal—Lil Meech, in a moment of frustration, admitted online: “Ross gave my dad some bread so he can pay his bills until our next season starts.” That one line made the internet explode. And 50 replied instantly: “What next season?”
Fans took that as confirmation—*BMF* might be over. The dream 50 built could be collapsing. And with Rick Ross legally unable to touch the show (50 owns the rights), there may be no saving it.
Now, questions are flying. Did Lil Meech really steal \$10 million from the brand 50 Cent helped build? Or was Big Meech pulling strings from behind the scenes, quietly orchestrating a power shift?
Some say this isn’t about betrayal—it’s about ego. A father trying to reclaim the spotlight from his son. Others say 50 got too emotionally invested and gambled on loyalty
