50 Cent has revisited Desiigner's freestyle for Funkmaster Flex in 2017 after the "Panda" rapper dissed him on social media.

In a post on Instagram, 50 shared a video of Desiigner's 2017 freestyle, which showed Funk Flex appearing to look confused about what he was hearing. "Sometimes you don't have to say anything at all," wrote Fif alongside the clip. "Ok, moving right along!"

The back-and-forth between the two rappers began after Fifty said that he had a meeting with Desiigner, who was gaining a lot of momentum at the time on the strength of his breakthrough song "Panda."

"I said, 'That's it?'" 50 Cent said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. "And the shit was so hot that he had, I was struggling. And I was like, 'Nah, I can't give that n***a that money; let them give him whatever they're gonna give him.'"

The comment didn't sit right with Desiigner, who fired back with a brief freestyle on Instagram. "N***as talkin’ that 50 Cent, I be talking fifty mill’ / N***as talkin’ that Timmy Turner, glad the n***a got killed / I got signed to Kanye, lil n***a, you was never worth a deal," he rapped. He tagged both 50 Cent and DJ Akademiks in the caption, referring to them as "trolls."
