- Dib vividly remembers visiting a strip club with 50 Cent
- The rapper gave him a wad of cash and ordered alcohol.
- Dib had business with the rapper but the partnership went sour
Former Australian world boxing champion Billy Dib has opened up about a wild night he had with American rapper 50 Cent and why it couldn’t have happened at a worse time of year.
Dib was one of 50 Cent’s first clients when he launched a boxing promotion company in July 2012, but their relationship turned sour when the business went bankrupt and the Australian claimed he was owed more than $1 million.
The devout Muslim, who recently beat cancer, spoke about his craziest night with the rapper, which he said would “challenge the strength of many believers.”
“So we got into his Lamborghini,” Dib told the audience at a conference.
‘I’m in a Lamborghini with him (50 Cent), my brother is in a Ferrari behind him. There’s a Bentley.
Billy Dib, who teamed up with 50 Cent in 2012, recalled his wildest night with the superstar rapper.
Dib (pictured fighting Jorge Lacierva) says he ended up at a big strip club with the rapper during Ramadan.
‘We arrived at this place, it looked like a factory warehouse and every supercar you can imagine was outside this factory warehouse.
‘And then 50 Cent opens the trunk of his car and takes out a bag, and I’m standing next to him and out falls a gun, two watches completely covered in diamonds and three blocks of money, like wads of money.’
Dib says the rapper offered him a large amount of cash, which he was initially wary of because he had previously been warned not to accept gifts from people because they would end up “owning you,” but the rapper explained that he would need it soon.
The group then entered the building, which turned out to be a huge strip club.
“I’m talking huge,” Dib explained.
‘And there are women everywhere and it’s blaring, right? And let me tell you something, it’s the first day of Ramadan.
“I’ve been on the plane saying, ‘God, make this a successful trip,’ and (now) I’m at a strip joint.”
It was Dib’s first time going to a strip club and he and his brother, as strict Muslims, decided they were “in trouble” and needed to get out quickly.
Dib said 50 Cent had just paid $10,000 for a table and they had ordered alcohol.
Dib, a devout Muslim, said he and his brother had to leave the club.

‘And I have this money and he is going to “throw the money” (at the women).
“I told him, ‘Brother, I don’t throw money.’ I told him that one of the biggest sins is throwing money. I don’t do that.
‘My brother said, ’50, look, man, we’re going to leave. We don’t come to places like this, we are Muslims.’
Dib explained that 50 Cent reluctantly agreed to leave the club with him and his brother.
However, while they were leaving, a stripper approached the rapper and asked him where he was going.
“He says, ‘Honey, you’re lucky it’s Ramadan,'” Dib laughed.
