Adrien Broner, 29, didn’t hold back during his tense back-and-forth with 50 Cent, 43, on Instagram on Tuesday. After Adrien noticed that 50 blocked him on social media, he called out the rapper in a note on IG. The boxer went on to challenge the Power producer to a fight if he didn’t return his calls.
