50 Cent has called out J Cole for overpraising Chris Brown to the heavens in a new interview.

Cole recently spoke about how Chris helped take R&B performances to another level. He explained that you didn’t used to see R&B artists regularly performing in stadiums, and credited Chris with helping make that possible.

He also mentioned Usher, who went on to put on huge stadium shows of his own. Cole said he was grateful because it brought more attention to R&B and showed other artists that performing in front of a full stadium was possible at that scale.

I actually think there’s a fair point there. R&B hasn’t always had the same presence in stadiums as pop and rap, and Chris has built a huge audience over the years. But giving him credit for helping open that door doesn’t mean he was the only person who helped get R&B to that level. Usher’s contribution was part of Cole’s point too.

Not everyone agreed with the praise, though. 50 Cent joined the conversation underneath a post about Cole’s comments, writing, “Doing too much”.

I think 50 thinks that Cole is being over the top, and it doesn’t seem like he thinks that Chris deserves the praise.

Before you go, I wanna know, do you think Chris Brown deserves that much credit?
