Conor McGregor parties with 50 Cent in Dublin as feud brought to an end

Conor McGregor welcomed 50 Cent to his Dublin pub over the weekend as the rapper turned 50. The American, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was in the capital to play at Longitude.
Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor was filmed embracing the hip hop star at his Black Forge Inn ahead of his performance at the music festival, which took place at Marlay Park over the weekend. The New York native turned 50 on Sunday - the same day he played at Longitude.
McGregor and Jackson were previously involved in a social media spat, which started ahead of the Dubliner's 2017 boxing fight with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. During a press conference to promote the bout, the MMA fighter said: "50 Cent's a b****. You and 50 are two fake money b****es. He's bankrupt, and you're about to be."
Jackson hit back at McGregor over the comments on social media at the times and the two have clashed with each other online a number of times since.
In a post from 2018, McGregor wrote: "I am made of granite. You need a bra. You jabbed up fool.
"Hahahaha you should have stayed quiet and promoted that fight for me on the free like you did.
"But you just kept going with them f*****g memes. Your 50, 50. 50 years old.
"It's all love tho fifty serious, you are a mad b*****d, but we still proper love a few of your tunes over on this side of the world.
"I even blasted one of them on the free walking into madison square garden to take one of my belts. It was called I run New York."
That post from McGregor came after Jackson said the Dubliner was "talented for a white boy."
He wrote in a since-deleted post: "Conor McGregor is a talented fighter and all that. He's talented for a white boy. But, you know, n***as have superior genes when it comes to that kind of s***.
'White people, in order for white people to make a champion, they had to make 'Rocky,' man.
'They had to make that because they can't actually just do that sh*t. That's just too much work.'
McGregor even went as far as to say he wanted to step into the Octagon with the rapper.
He said in November 2019: 'I'd have to probably say 50 Cent, I'd like to fight him.
'Throughout the course of the Floyd Mayweather build-up, I used him as a tool, a promotional tool on the free also. I knew he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him in also, and he responded big time and capitalised on that audience, so I was very thankful.
'But then after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly Instagram, where he'd make these memes about me constantly.
'Every time I'd go onto the internet, I'd see 50 Cent had posted up some new stupid meme, and I wrote on one of the memes – old man on the internet making memes – and then he blocked me.
'So he's had to block me, and I still see sometimes, I still get tagged in other people saying he's saying this and he's saying that.
'So I'd like to have a knock-off with 50, yeah. So if you're listening, 50, let's get it going, bud.'
However, all appears to have been forgotten all these years later.

Pic: Rosanna Davison/Instagram 'Wesley is really busy running the business, so he can't be as hands-on as me. So after I drop the kids to school, nearly every day, I'm up at the house for a site meeting. I'm going to showrooms.'
