Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and Floyd Mayweather.

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather pose after a movie screening in 2011 in New York when they were on friendly terms.

Did someone ring the bell? 50 Cent has issued his former friend and boxer Floyd Mayweather in a challenge that’s a little different than the current ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that’s freezing the nation.

The rapper posted a video on Instagram saying he would donate $75,000 to any charity of the boxing champ’s choice. The challenge? Mayweather has to read one page from a Harry Potter book all the way through without stumbling.

Now, when one challenges another to read, should one take into account that said challenger has some spelling issues?

50 Cent captioned the Instagram post with: “Floyd will you except my ALS/ESL CHALLENGE: I will donate $750k to a charity of your choice, If you can read a full page out of a Harry Potter book out loud without starting and stopping or f–king up. lmao.” Oh, Fiddy.

In the video, it seems the rapper-actor is about to accept the ASL Ice Bucket Challenge himself, instead he tosses the bucket to punctuate his offer with, “F–k the bucket of ice, man!”

If Mayweather was worried about how to show the world he can in fact read, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has made an offer that 50 Cent is only too happy to relay.

In the Instagram video, 50 says Kimmel has offered to let Mayweather come on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to take the challenge. 50 then goes on to amend the challenge, saying instead of a Harry Potter book Mayweather can read The Cat in the Hat since the words are easier.

No word yet if Mayweather is going to come out swinging and jabbing. Somebody ring the alarm!
