In a recent incident, 50 Cent distanced himself from Bang Em Smurf after reports surfaced of Smurf seeking asylum in the UK due to alleged gang threats in Trinidad. The British tabloid linking 50 Cent to Smurf prompted the music mogul to clarify that he had not been in contact with Smurf for over two decades. 50 Cent emphasized that he has no ties to gangs and expressed his frustration at being associated with the situation. Smurf, previously involved with G-Unit, has been in the news for his asylum request and interactions in the UK, reigniting past tensions with 50 Cent.
