50 Cent Responds To Usher Playing “In Da Club” During His Son’s Birth: “Coolest Shit Ever!”

by

If you’re in need of entertainment on Instagram, 50 Cent’s feed is always a great place to go – the multi-hyphenate star loves to offer up his commentary on everything from Madonna’s thirst traps to Michael Jordan palming Mary J. Blige’s behind.

Most recently, the Power producer has made waves by posting about Usher, who, during a recent interview, revealed that he was blasting Fif’s hit “In Da Club” during the birth of his youngest son, Sire Raymond, who arrived back in September.

As PEOPLE reports, while chatting with Ellen DeGeneres, Usher shared, “The first time, I was in charge of music but I did a terrible job,” adding that the second time around, he made sure he was “fully equipped.”

“I had my Mophie. I had speakers. I had backup batteries. I had a whole playlist that I had worked on for about two weeks. It was crazy. It was great,” the “OMG” recording artist told the host. “Go shorty, it’s your birthday,” he sang, revealing that it was 50’s song that ended up playing.

Funnily enough, Usher and the “I Get Money” rapper gave their baby boys the same name, which the latter pointed out to his Instagram followers on Thursday, February 24th.

“We have two Kings now, SIRE Jackson and SIRE Raymond,” he wrote alongside a smirking emoji and a screenshot of an article sharing the news from the Raymond family delivery room. “Coolest shit ever!”

Pete Davidson Denies Kanye West’s Claim That He Made Him Quit Instagram

by

Pete Davidson is shutting down Kanye West’s claim that he “ran” him off Instagram.

Earlier in the week, Ye boasted that his cyberbullying caused Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend–whom he calls “Skete”–to deactivate his latest Instagram account.

“Ran Skete off the gram,” Ye wrote. “Tell your mother I changed your name for life.”

But as much as West would like to take credit for making the “SNL” comedian quit Instagram, a source close to Davidson says otherwise.

“Pete deleted his IG because immediately after his first post, he started receiving a flood of messages, both positive and negative, reminding him why he didn’t want social media to begin with,” a source told Page Six.

Before deleting his page, Davidson shared a link to a video of Robert De Niro as fictional comic Rupert Pupkin in the 1981 film The King of Comedy reciting his quote, “Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime,” which many took as a shot at Ye.

“[Pete] is in the middle of several big film projects and wants to continue to stay very focused on his work and the positive things happening in his life,” the source added. “Kanye didn’t drive Pete off social media.”

Ye’s attempts to win back Kim haven’t seemed to work. After his repeated attacks, including sharing private texts from his estranged wife, Kim asked a judge to immediately restore her single status.

“I very much desire to be divorced,” she told a judge in court documents. “Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress.”
