When he isn’t taking aim at Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, 50 Cent has seemingly found someone else to direct his attention to.
The In Da Club rapper, 50, appeared to dish out a brutal snub to Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, 33, as he reflected on the Kansas City Chiefs star’s romance with pop star Taylor Swift, following the pair’s engagement news.
During an appearance on Extra TV, 50, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was asked about what it was like to be name-dropped by Taylor, 35, on her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which she released at the start of the month.

The musician admitted that he’s a fan of Taylor before insisting, “I like her boyfriend too. I like the team. I like KC.” The interviewer then asked about his opinion on the relationship, to which he said, “I do, I do. I like it a lot better than the last thing [Kelce] had going on.” The interviewer was evidently taken aback by the response, to which 50 simply flashed a grin and repeated, “It’s a lot better.”

Travis and his ex, a well-known content creator, dated on and off for five years until 2022. During that time, they were pictured together at several glitzy events.
The split was confirmed when Kayla appeared on Special Forces, where she described the breakup as “public and overwhelming.” Reports and rumors suggest financial disagreements were a factor, although Travis has firmly denied these rumors.
As for Taylor, she had never previously spoken about her fiancé’s ex since announcing her romance with the Chiefs tight end, but seemingly dissed her on a track called Opalite on her new album.
Fans have speculated that the line alludes to Kayla, “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.” The meaning seems to be that Kelce felt lonely because Nicole was distracted by fame.

In an old video resurfaced by fans, Travis can be seen asking Kayla to “get off your phone.” Fans went wild over the lyrics, following the release of Life of a Showgirl om October 3, with one Swiftie taling to X, penning, “TAYLOR SWIFT JUST CALLED KAYLA NICOLE TF OUT IM LIVING FOR TS12 #thelifeofashowgril.” With another adding, “Opalite- sweet song and the Kayla digs are savage.’
Elsewhere in the interview, the Disco Inferno rapper further reflected on his shoutout from Taylor. On her song Ruin the Friendship, she sings, “And it was not an invitation / But as the 50 Cent 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.
“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,” 50 added.
One person who 50 didn’t have good words for, however, was P Diddy. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the rapper shared a pic of the disgraced music mogul and wrote, “Is he snitching now, they put a knife to [his] Neck and said South Side we out side. LOL.”
This was referring to reports that the rapper’s best friend, Charlucci Finney, revealed that he “woke up with a knife to his throat,” after his lawyer Mark Geragos previously said he is at risk of being sexually assaulted.
However, he noted that the near-fatal incident was probably a warning rather than a real murder attempt. “If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him,” he said.
“It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean, it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem,” Finney added.
