Who can’t appreciate a little insect crawling up a woman’s big ol’ booty holding a handgun? The two [rappers have gone head to head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-carpet) before, but I must say that 50 seems to have come out the victor in this one. I say that considering he is on a woman’s ass rather than being likened to the relative of one.
