50 Cent has become an unexpected muse for an infamous Australian street artist who has featured the famous rapper in a series of outdoor wall murals. Lushsux — the anonymous artist who's already being compared to Banksy — did a drawing series reimagining 50 Cent as popular figures such as Donald Trump, Tekashi 6ix9ine, and Post Malone. The rapper initially liked his portrait paintings and even shared the street art with his followers on social media.
But eventually, the graffiti drawings pushed him over the edge, and 50 Cent seems to be getting increasingly irritated by Lushsux. The artist, on the other hand, isn't showing any signs of slowing down with his graffiti art.
“50 seems to want some more walls?” wrote Lushsux in one Instagram caption. “Unfortunately, some six or seven smoothbrains at one time on the street already put me in hospital this month because of this.” He explained: “I constantly have to unwillingly fight people who — for whatever cooked reason — feel the need to come up to me and start trouble. It's tiresome, but it will not ever stop me doing what 99.8% of what everyone else seems to get a hearty chuckle out of.”

A piece of a toothless 50 Cent and one as Taylor Swift finally did it. Sharing the image to his Instagram, the rapper wrote: "This is some bulls**t man, but how the hell is he doing it so fast […] alright he's talented, but why the f**k he pick me."
50 Cent dubbed the latter artwork 'Swifty Cent,' and sent out a warning to Lushsux: "I'd like to hit this MF right in the back of his head while he doing this s**t," he wrote alongside an angry emoji.
But it doesn't look like Lushsux is even thinking about slowing down. 50's response is only fueling him.

Lushsux first shot to infamy in 2016 when he painted then-US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dressed in a revealing American flag swimsuit.
He also ruffled some feathers when he painted a mural of US President Donald Trump making out with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
