Pimpin Ken & Young Dopeman Call Out 50 Cent: The Video That Triggered Pimpin’ Curly

The video you’re watching here is the very first spark in the entire Pimpin’ Curly storyline. This is where Pimpin Ken and Young Dopeman addressed 50 Cent directly, setting off a chain of events that would eventually lead to one of the most entertaining alter egos in hip-hop history.

In this original clip, Pimpin Ken and Young Dopeman weren’t trying to launch a full-blown attack — but they were checking 50 Cent about how he was moving. They called him out for tricking with hookers, pointing out that his behavior didn’t line up with the lifestyle he claimed to represent. Their message was clear:

“50, that ain’t pimping.”

This moment mattered because it introduced the first half of what later became the Pimpin’ Curly character. While they were making their comments, Rick Ross was simultaneously throwing the nickname “Curly” around during his feud with 50.

Those two things —Pimpin Ken & Dopeman’s criticism

• Rick Ross calling him Curly— eventually collided.

But it all starts right here with this video.

This is the foundation.This is the first shot.This is the moment that pushed 50 Cent into creating the legendary Pimpin’ Curly persona.
