50 Cent Speaks Out: 'Trust Me, You Better Stay FAR AWAY From Him...'

50 Cent Warns Fans: ‘Trust Me, You Better Stay FAR AWAY From Him…‘

In the world of hip-hop, few names command the kind of respect and influence that 50 Cent does. The rapper-turned-mogul has seen it all, from the gritty streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, to the bright lights of Hollywood. But when 50 Cent issues a warning, people listen.

Recently, 50 Cent spoke out about a figure from his past—someone he insists people should steer clear of. That man is Joffy, a name known well in the streets of Queens and within the G-Unit camp.

The Rise of Joffy in Southside Jamaica, Queens

Joffy comes from the American Towers in Southside Jamaica, Queens, a neighborhood with deep ties to 50 Cent and G-Unit. Names like Bang ‘Em Smurf, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and 50 himself are all synonymous with the area. However, Joffy wasn’t just another face in the crowd—he was a major player.

As a young hustler, Joffy built a reputation for himself through his fearlessness and street smarts. Even before G-Unit became a household name in hip-hop, Joffy was already regarded as a top figure in the streets.

From the Streets to G-Unit’s Inner Circle

By the early 2000s, G-Unit had transitioned from a street movement into a major music group. As 50 Cent’s career skyrocketed, he began recruiting individuals he trusted to be part of his inner circle. That’s when Joffy caught his attention.

Lloyd Banks, a longtime friend of Joffy’s from school, was instrumental in bringing him into the fold. 50 Cent saw potential in Joffy and offered him a chance to be part of the team. This led to Joffy joining G-Unit on the 50 Cent Is the Future mixtape tour in 2002.

Joffy was impressed by the way 50 Cent handled business, recalling how he sold out shows purely off the strength of mixtapes.

“Just imagine being that young and seeing this type of success,” Joffy recalled. “It was incredible—thousands of people showing up just for mixtape records.”

Tensions and Trouble on Tour

Despite the success, tensions began to arise within G-Unit. A confrontation between Joffy, Bang ‘Em Smurf, and 50 Cent’s road manager, Marcus, escalated into a physical altercation.

Smurf, always ready for a fight, took Joffy’s side when Marcus accused him of stealing a jersey. The situation spiraled quickly, and 50 Cent was forced to intervene.

Realizing he needed to clean up his act to fully capitalize on his new opportunities with Eminem and Dr. Dre, 50 made a tough call—he sent Joffy and Smurf back home.

While Smurf returned to Queens and eventually fell out with 50 Cent, Joffy remained loyal. Even after a run-in with the police, which resulted in him firing two shots from his window before being arrested, 50 Cent stepped in to cover his legal fees.

Joffy’s Loyalty Comes at a Cost

Joffy’s loyalty to G-Unit was unwavering, but it came at a high price. He was shot five times in connection to the long-standing beef between 50 Cent and Jimmy Henchman. Despite being left with life-altering injuries and spending a year in jail with a colostomy bag, Joffy never turned his back on G-Unit.

“I got shot behind G-Unit. I went to jail. I did a whole year on the island like that,” Joffy said. “But I never complained. I never folded.”

The Deadly Night at Club Amazura

One of the most infamous nights in Joffy’s story happened outside Club Amazura in Queens. 50 Cent was making an appearance, and Joffy was there ahead of him, scouting the scene. However, a misstep in security led to a tragic event.

As Joffy turned a corner, a car pulled up beside him and opened fire, hitting him multiple times. The shooting was a stark reminder of the dangers that came with the life he lived.

50 Cent’s Final Warning

Despite everything, Joffy remains a mysterious and controversial figure. His past, filled with violence, loyalty, and street politics, makes him someone you don’t want to cross.

50 Cent, who has had his own share of street wars, made his stance clear:

“If I’m telling you to stay far away from someone, trust me, you better listen.”

Whether this warning is about Joffy’s past or something more recent remains to be seen. But one thing is certain—when 50 Cent speaks, it’s best to pay attention.
