50 Cent reacts to Australian street artist Lushsux’s ‘Swifty Cent’ mural

An Australian street artist has reignited his feud with 50 Cent after painting a giant mural of the rapper’s image combined with that of pop star Taylor Swift

Melbourne-based graffitist Lushsux, who has been described as Australia’s answer to Banksy, took aim at the rapper on Thursday with the unveiling of his latest work of art, ‘Swifty Cent.’ 

The giant mural, painted somewhere in Melbourne, shows the American rapper’s face painted onto Taylor Swift’s head.  

‘Smash or pass? I might turn 50 week into 50 month and turn this war on 50 into some Iraq type quagmire’, the artist said in an Instagram post.

50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, reacted to mural on Friday threatening to bash the artist. 

‘Man look at this s**t, TF is wrong with this guy he won’t stop’, he said after sharing the image on Instagram. 

‘Swifty cent, I’d like to hit this MF right in the back of his head while he doing this s**t’. 

The post drew comments from other celebrities including fellow rapper Fat Joe who wrote: ‘They gotta stop lol’.

American actress Nia Long chimed in: ‘Ok but his one is kinda funny. You gotta laugh at this one. SMH’.

Lushsux, who has made headlines in recent years over his controversial paintings, responded to 50’s threats shortly after. 

‘Ok so ima start wearing a motorcycle helmet while painting now’, he quipped. 

Lushsux on Sunday had declared this week, '50 week' , producing a painting of the rapper as different people every day.

It’s not the first time the street artist has trolled the rapper with his artwork as he previously painted a mural of 50 Cent with rainbow dreadlocks and teeth to resemble controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix 9ine.

The rapper was not impressed with that mural either, hitting back in a 2018 post saying: ‘Man of all the s*** you could have painted on the wall, you paint this s***. What the f*** you n****s play too much, get the strap’.

On Sunday the artist revealed his first masterpiece of the week, painting 50 as Chinese Chairman Mao, followed by a more flattering mural of the rapper in his trademark Yankees cap.

Earlier, he also painted him as US President Donald Trump and as fellow rapper Post Malone, further incensing 50 Cent.

‘Who the f**k keep painting these murals of me all over the place,’ he said.  ‘This is f**ked up man. That’s 3 now 69, Trump & Post Malone.’ 

Lushsux first rose to infamy in 2016 when he painted then-US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dressed in an American flag swimsuit. 

He also ruffled some feathers when he painted a mural of US President Donald Trump locking lips with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
