Of all the bars in JAY-Z new album 4:44, the one that's attracted the most attention is the one about stunting with cash to the ear:

“You’re on the Gram holding money to your ear, there’s a disconnect / We don’t call that money over here," Hov raps.
Future, Boosie Badazz and Blac Youngsta have all objected to the line, and have made it clear they will continue to put cash to the side of their head if that's what they feel like doing.

[Related: Future responds to JAY-Z's money phone line.]

Yesterday, 50 Cent posted a comically critical review of Hov's album. (He called it "Ivy League shit" and "Golf course music.)

Later, Fif dropped another IG post which explains the origin of the money to the ear pose and may get at the origins of his problem with JAY's new project.

Just so you know where the Money to the ear thing came from. The Original TMT

You see, 50 believes he and his on-again-off-again buddy Floyd Mayweather invented the money to the ear pose.

Is that something to be proud of? Or do you agree with Hova that it's gotta go?
