I don't think this is recent. This looks like something from 2009...aside from the fact that Haystak pretty much gave up on the whole thing after he realized that it wasn't going to get him anywhere, Haystak lost a lot of weight since that whole thing started. I don't know why exactly, but I kind of wonder if he wasn't diagnosed with some sort of illness, and maybe the desperation from that contributed to this whole ridiculous situation he created in order to get attention.

His shit with 50 Cent wasn't as well publicized, but he was talking shit on everyone at that time. The D12/Bizzy/King Gordy thing was more of a result of Bizzy getting all fucked up on drugs and jumping in on Eminem's behalf, and then it escalated from there. And then...it just sort of stopped.
The only things he really said about 50 Cent were just random shots in some Video blogs. He was also talking shit on Joe Budden, and that was before the Shady deal. The 50 Cent thing was more of a move to try to inject himself into the 50 Cent/Lil Wayne tension that was arising, and since Haystak was from the south and he already had issues with the Shady camp, it made sense for him to do it.
Didn't work though, just another failure on his part. Same thing with aligning himself with the juggalos when he was trying to stir up the old Eminem/ICP thing by pointing out the pictures Eminem did with a hatchet in some new shoots, and saying that he was biting their style. If nothing else, it just made him seem less authentic in the eyes of the Juggalos. And those people worship some fucking clowns, so you really have to try to look fake in their eyes.
Haystak was lashing out at everyone that year, including people at Select-O-Hits. That's his (and most other independent artists' in the South) distributor. He was all fucked up on pills and ranting about how they were fucking with his money, and how he was going to come find them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Shady camp didn't help blackball the guy on the business end, instead of giving him exposure in the music and media.
Last person I heard he was trying some shit with was MGK...I guess he had a problem with MGK ignoring him in his own neck of the woods, and felt like it wasn't properly respectful. That was over a year ago though. He never did go at Yelawolf, even after the Shady deal...they knew each other, but somehow it didn't come up. I remember an interviewer asking Yela about it, and his face just froze. He was visibly uncomfortable with the subject, and didn't really say much about it either way.
EDIT: He's also a fan of Rittz, mentions him a lot on Twitter.
