When 50 Cent Breaks Up with the Gang, Even the Stars Wonder If Bang Em Smurf’s UK Asylum Plea Could Be the Real Plot Twist of the Year!

Added on May 12, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

Ah, the cosmic irony of Mercury being retrograde right as 50 Cent finds himself frantically distancing from any gang ties—talk about the universe having a chuckle. This past Sunday, the hip-hop mogul didn’t mince words after a cheeky British tabloid attempted to drag his name into a controversy involving Bang Em Smurf, a former G-Unit member who’s now seeking asylum in the UK. Despite Smurf’s recent stormy appearances in the British spotlight and his claims of needing refuge from gang violence back in Trinidad, 50 Cent was quick to slam any notion of current connections, emphasizing a 23-year silence and proclaiming, “I AM NOT GANG GANG!” Honestly, it feels like a reality show plot twist where past grudges meet immigration headlines under a suspiciously snarky spring sky. So, what does Venus in Taurus think about old beefs showing up at government-funded hotels? Probably it’s just another day in the chaotic dance of fame, loyalty, and shifting alliances.

50 Cent slammed any suggestion of gang affiliation Sunday after a British tabloid linked him to former G-Unit member Bang Em Smurf, who is now seeking asylum in the United Kingdom.

The Hip-Hop and entertainment mogul posted a screenshot from The Sun on Instagram, showing Smurf—real name Daniel Calliste—who reportedly landed in the U.K. earlier this year, claiming he needed “safety from gangs” in his native Trinidad.

While his asylum request is under review, Smurf is reportedly staying in a government-funded hotel, a detail that’s stirred controversy amid the U.K.’s tightening immigration policies.

50 Cent wasted no time separating himself from the situation, claiming he hadn’t spoken to Bang Em Surf in 23 years.

“I hate that my name is attached to this,” he wrote on Sunday (May 11), adding “I in no way have any association or connection to gangs. I AM NOT GANG GANG!”

He capped off the post with a jab, “And to you tuff guys HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.”

Smurf, who was deported to Trinidad from the United States after serving time for his role in a shootout, has recently popped up on U.K. podcasts and even posed with British aristocrats at the Houses of Parliament.

Once a G-Unit affiliate, Smurf’s relationship with 50 Cent soured decades ago, leading to a long-standing public feud.

Their falling out has been well-documented, but this latest headline dragged 50’s name back into the mix—something he clearly wasn’t thrilled about.
