50 Cent comments on Travis Kelce’s ex
50 Cent takes a dig at Travis Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole, in an interview with Extra TV. He thanked Taylor Swift for referencing him in her song “Ruin the Friendship.” He then proceeded to not-so-subtly diss Nicole.
50 Cent revealed, “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. The music, you couldn’t miss it at that point. 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.”
After praising Swift a little more, he proceeded to say a few nice things about her NFL fiancé, Kelce, too. 50 Cent confessed, “I like the team. I like KC (Kansas City Chiefs). I like the whole thing.”
When he was asked if he liked the couple’s chemistry together, the “Candy Shop” rapper’s answer was a subtle nod to Kelce’s past relationship. Cent quipped, “I like it a lot better than the last thing he had going on. It’s a lot better.”
For those unversed, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was in a long-standing relationship with Nicole for about five years. The couple dated on and off from 2017 before calling it quits in 2022. Kelce began dating Swift in September 2023, and the couple got engaged in August 2025.
Furthermore, when the host asked if he would attend Swift and Kelce’s wedding, 50 Cent revealed he would love to. “I would make my way over there,” he quipped with a smile.
Not only the “In da Club” hitmaker, but Swift also took a swipe at Nicole in her song “Opalite.” The lyrics go, “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.”
At the time of writing this article, Nicole hasn’t responded to 50 Cent’s diss of her.
