Here, 50 Cent is refrencing a quote from the movie “New Jack City”, which documents the story of drug lord Nino Brown* during the crack epidemic

When Nino’s girlfriend confronts him about his ruthlessness, he grabs her, slams her against a table and douses her with champagne, uttering the infamous line:

“Cancel that bitch, I’ll buy another one.”

…kinda harsh, 50

(*Nino is referenced frequently in rap music – especially by Lil Wayne.)

(New Jack City in general is heavily referenced by New York artists, beginning with Biggie Smalls in “Suicidal Thoughts,” where he says “You see it’s kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack.”)
