Conor McGregor has revealed that he would lie to fight 50 Cent, because of the rapper’s relentless Instagram trolling and memes.
“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,” he said, according to U.K. news outlet, The Sun.
“I knew he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him in also, and he responded big time, and we capitalized on that audience, so I was very 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.”
McGregor claims that 50 has blocked him on social media:
“Every time I’d go onto the internet I’d see 50 Cent had posted up some new stupid meme and I wrote one of the memes – ‘old man on the internet making memes’ and then he blocked me,” he shared.
“So he’s 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.”
