Cassidy's label CEO and producer, Swizz Beatz, has confirmed that Cass will indeed be taking shots at 50 Cent in his new video, "B-Boy Stance." Swizz says 50 made fun of his friend on mixtapes and lightly called him out on the radio, so why not let the animalistic MC get some retribution?

"Everybody keeps talking about the thing with Cass and 50 — we just having fun with that," Swizz said last week. "Everybody else is doing what they want to do, why can't we do what we want to do? He's an artist just like 50 is an artist. But everybody is like 'Cass and 50?' like a helicopter is gonna come crashing. A couple of years ago, 50 was at the same place as Cassidy [is now]. So anything can change. Cassidy has been known for being a lyrical problem and he's gonna handle his business. The game is about taking risks and having fun and making history."

Swizz also hinted that Cass may be taking a few shots at 50 on wax, but insisted that he's not "promoting a violent beef."

"I think both artists should be creative," he said. "We not sitting up there like, 'Yeah, I want to see y'all and all that.' It's not even that serious. Everybody is so serious doing all this fronting, for what?"

Besides a parody of Curtis Jackson, Swizz said that the "B-Boy Stance" video also features a cameo from Kurtis Blow.
