February 2009: 50 releases the first “Pimpin Curly” video.February 8: 50 Cent returns with Officer Ricky Cartoon #2! How Rick Ross Got His Record Deal w/ Jay-Z and DJ Khaled.It was a bit weird that Rozay continued to call Fif a monkey throughout his diss records. Ross takes things too far by photoshopping 50’s son face on a monkey’s body. While it was later denied, the website appeared to be a vehicle for Ross to promote his album while taking jabs at 50. February 6: During their beef, a website call was made.February 6: Rick Ross releases his second diss song, “Kiss My Ring Finger, Curly.”.In the second half, 50 takes Tia on a shopping spree. The first half of the video is an interview with Tia, who brings further light to Ross' fraudulent lifestyle, speaks about his correctional officer past, and pretty much attack his character. February 2: 50 Cent releases an interview with Tia, the mother of Rick Ross' son.He would continue to release them weekly on Saturdays. He also states that Ross could be doing this for publicity but he chose the wrong adversary and that he planned to ruin his life for "the fun of it." 50 also releases the first Officer Ricky cartoon. January 31: 50 Cent responds with a video upload entitled "Warning Shot." He mentions how he doesn’t remember seeing Ross at the B.E.T Awards but he accepts the beef.January 30: Rick Ross calls into Angela Yee’s Lip Service radio show on Shade 45 and spoke on 50’s “Officer Ricky.” He didn’t hold back his thoughts, saying that he was in disbelief that this was the song he came back with, he even gave Fifty 48 hours to come back with something stronger.


March 2008: 50 Cent compliments Rick Ross on his number one album during an interview, but also warns him not to stand too close to Fat Joe who was feuding with him and G-Unit at the time.With all the time that has passed since this beef truly begun, we wanted to create a timeline from start to finish, tracing one of the most outlandish wars between two of rap music’s most peculiar warriors. Rick Ross didn’t duel the 50 that was once hip-hop’s boogie man, the man that would piss on the tombstones of his foes, he got a far more tamed but creative Curtis. As I type this, he’s making a mockery of Meek Mill. Unlike when he was entrapped in a beef with The Game and Ja Rule, where violence was a factor, 50 is more likely to upload a video on Instagram than to approach you in public. As he achieved more acclaim, made more money and ventured into business outside of rap he never altered his attitude he just adopted a new approach to taunt and ridicule. This is not new, I do this all the time.” It goes back to the days of “How To Rob,” 50 has always been the brutal bully that had no problems saying names and daring you to reply. He even stated in his first video acknowledging the conflict, “So I’m deciding to fuck your life up, Rick Ross, I’m gonna fuck your life up for fun. The battlefield was like a second home to 50, he never ran from war but chased any tension, Curtis Jackson was the danger, he was the one who knocked. I remember when the beef started and thought that 50’s victory was guaranteed, that a fraudulent, former correctional officer would be an easy kill. Rick Ross believes he won, that he gave 50 his biggest defeat and Curtis wholeheartedly disagrees, and so their dance continues.
