Gunplay opened up on No Jumper about one of the most memorable street moments in hip-hop history — the night he was confronted by 50 Cent and G-Unit at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards. The Triple C’s rapper didn’t hold back on the details of the tense encounter.
Gunplay described arriving at the event and suddenly finding himself isolated as G-Unit members approached. With police nearby and barricades in place, he weighed his options: jump the fence and run, call for help, or stand his ground. “I’m finna crash out,” he recalled thinking, emphasizing his ride-or-die loyalty to Rick Ross at the time.
The situation escalated quickly into a physical altercation. Gunplay was pepper sprayed, taken down, and handcuffed. He claims a mysterious tall figure — whom he jokingly referred to as “Illuminati” — intervened, uncuffed him, and helped him escape despite an active warrant. The story blends chaos, humor, and street philosophy.

Reflecting on the broader Rick Ross vs. 50 Cent beef, Gunplay admitted he never fully understood the root cause but stood firmly with his boss. He contrasted the “raps” phase of the feud with the real-life moment when things turned physical, noting how the album rollout for Triple C’s was overshadowed by the drama.
Years later, Gunplay looks back on the incident as part of his legacy — a wild chapter in hip-hop’s turbulent history. The interview offers a raw, firsthand perspective from one of the key players in one of the most talked-about award show scuffles in rap.
