Taking to Instagram, 50 Cent said in a post that he was “the only shout out on the whole album.”

Swift's song “is popping right now,” the rapper happily stated, adding that “she shout me out” and “she don't shout you out. LOL.”

“ONLY THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS!” he stated in his post that accompanied a picture of Swift's most recent album cover. He additionally added a flaming emoji and tagged the pop artist.

The sixth track on Swift's album, “Ruin the Friendship,” features the shoutout.

The song focuses on a guy that Swift never kissed in high school because she was afraid of ruining their relationship, but he passed away too soon.

Several Swift fans expected the song to revolve around Swift and actress Blake Lively or another adult friendship that may have fallen apart rather than the loss of a childhood pal.
