Ethan Miller/Getty Images 50 Cent is changing the rules of the game in the Ice Bucket challenge.

Instead of the usual cold water-on-head routine, the rapper is challenging his former friend, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., to "read one full page of a 'Harry Potter' book out loud without starting and stopping or f------ up." The initial challenge was posted on 50's Instagram account.

The reward? $750,000 to any charity of the boxer's choice. Clearly 50 doesn't understand the ice bucket challenge.

In the below YouTube video, the hip hop star reiterates his challenge — except he flubs "ALS" and calls the disease "ASL/ELS."

The beef between the two former friends was reportedly heated up by Mayweather's interview with MLive.com, in which he stated: "Hip hop artists, they come and go. They come and go. But I'm still here."

Mayweather has also been nominated to complete an actual Ice Bucket Challenge by magician Criss Angel.

Mayweather has yet to respond to either challenge.

Sounds so official. In the video, he says “if you can read one full page of a Harry Potter book nigga, I will donate.....” The video is fucking hilarious.

50 Cent decided that the words in the Harry Potter books were probably too difficult and Jimmy Kimmel suggested that Fifty should donate the money if Floyd could "just read The Cat in the Hat".

It never happened.

This does not mention that Floyd came back and said he’d donate the same amount (or more) if 50 posted a video of his son saying “I love you, Dad”
