Taylor Swift might have found herself a new ally: rapper 50 Cent, who recently said he likes the couple, Travis Kelce and Taylor together, as opposed to him with his ex.
“I do, I do. I like it a lot better than the last thing [Kelce] had going on," said the In da Club rapper in a recent interview, about the duo, compared to Travis with his ex.
Travis and Kayla Nicole, a big sports journalist and content creator, were together on and off for about five years, from 2017 to 2022. There are not a lot of publicly verified claims about why they broke up. But Kayla has spoken about the emotional toll of the breakup and the public scrutiny she faced, though she never attributed the split to a specific reason.
It seems as though 50 cent never quite approved of their relationship, for whatever reason that may be. Even Taylor seemingly dissed her in her new Opalite track, saying that she was "on her phone" while her fiancé was in it "for real".
But the rapper definitely appreciated Tay-Tay's shoutout to him in her track Ruin the Friendship from her album Life of a Showgirl.
In the song, the Taylor sings, “And it was not an invitation / But as the 50 Cеnt song played / Should’ve kissed you anyway.”
“It really is cool because when she makes the reference, if you listen to the song, it’s to what was going on in culture at that time,” he explained.
In the early-to-mid 2000s, tracks like In Da Club and 21 Questions were ubiquitous. That cultural moment in hip-hop and pop culture that shaped a generation’s memories, including those of people like Taylor Swift, who was a teenager then.
“The music, you couldn’t miss it at that point and that’s why it was cool to me… What she was making reference to is the period that no one was more prominent in music at that point," he explained.
