While on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, 50 Cent gave his thoughts on Conor McGregor's trash talking while responding to whether he could take on 'Notorious' in a fight.
"I was like, dude, this fool didn't know if he was fighting Floyd or me," the 42-year-old said via MMA Mania.
"I was like, 'Where did that come from?'- you know? But he was doing his job; he was putting on a show and making sure everybody was paying attention.
