  "account": "In a 2003 Reebok commercial shoot, 50 Cent revealed that he allegedly angered Jay-Z during the production. The rapper stated on Instagram that Jay still owed him a favor for a specific incident during the recording. According to 50, Jay became furious when the rapper insisted on wearing his own shoe in the commercial, which featured the first G-Unit sample. The commercial, titled \"Reebok (Interlude),\" promoted both Jay's S. Carter collection and 50's debut sneaker line with Reebok, the G6. The G6 collaboration proved to be a significant success, re-releasing in August 2021 and selling out quickly. Over the years, the rivalry between the two rap icons has largely remained one-sided, with 50 Cent continuing to joke about Jay-Z on social media. Meanwhile, Jay-Z is set to perform in London at Wembley Stadium on September 4-5, while 50 Cent will appear at E11EVEN nightclub in Miami on September 5.",
