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.

Lushsux first trolled the rapper in 2018, by painting a giant mural of 50 with rainbow dreadlocks and teeth to resemble controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix 9nine, leaving 50 unimpressed.
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.
