Part 1: Maino Claims His New Song "Algorithm" Isn't a 50 Cent Diss Record, Vlad Disagrees
--------
In a candid conversation with VladTV, Maino opened up about his changing relationship with longtime collaborator Uncle Murda, who now aligns with 50 Cent amid ongoing tensions. Maino recalled their close bond dating back to their joint project *Yellow Tape*, highlighting years of shared history. However, he believes Uncle Murda likely feels uneasy due to Maino being on 50 Cent’s “op list,” especially given 50’s demand for loyalty and clear boundaries within his circle.
Maino emphasized that while the dynamic has shifted, their past connection remains intact, reflecting, “ships get redefined every day.” He also acknowledged 50 Cent’s impact on the game, describing him as a strategic figure who treats the rap industry like WWE, mastering image and presence. Despite the beef, Maino remains focused on his own path, maintaining a friendship with Jim Jones and recognizing the complex politics shaping alliances in hip-hop today.
