After poking fun at two of his stars amid their online beef, 50 Cent is ready to get back to work. The Rap mogul has been observing, like the rest of the world, his Power Universe actors Gianni Paolo and Joseph Sikora face off in a series of social media posts. Apparently, pressure has been brewing behind the scenes as Sikora allegedly doesn’t like Paolo for some unknown reason. During a recent encounter, Paolo attempted to say hello to his Power peer, but Sikora brushed him off and purposefully ignored him.

After the video went viral, Sikora addressed commentary and said that he straightened things out with Paolo. However, Paolo returned with a heated response, suggesting that Sikora was a liar.

Always one to capitalize on a viral moment, 50 Cent jumped in with a joke to help ease the tension.

“[Eyeball emoji] oh sh*t, it’s up! [thinking emoji] Now I never like to start sh*t but you should sock him Tommy,” Fif said, mentioning Sikora’s Power character, as well as Paolo’s. “Wait I think this little n*gga Brayden got a knife. lol.” When this reaction made headlines, Fif returned to let everyone know that the fighting needed to cease because there was money to be made.

He wrote, “[Eyeball emoji] oh sh*t, i need everybody to relax [face palm emoji] we gotta go back to work.”

Despite all of the tense moments, the attention is good for ratings. Check out Fif’s latest reaction below.

Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz have been on the outs over the past couple of weeks. The Jazz had been making it clear that they were looking for trades that could bring in a haul of draft picks and even some young players. Most people felt like the obvious suitor for Mitchell was the New York Knicks although this became complicated after RJ Barrett signed a massive extension with the franchise.

Well, today, the Jazz found a trade for Mitchell, and it is not at all what people would have been expecting. As you can see in the tweet below, Donovan Mitchell was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers who are a team filled with young and talented players. 

Woj reported that the Jazz are going to be receiving three first-round picks, two pick swaps, and three players. These three players are Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Ochair Agbaji. Sexton is someone who had yet to sign a deal with the Cavaliers, but now, he is agreeing to a sign-and-trade that sends him to Salt Lake City.

This is a blockbuster deal that many weren’t expecting. The Cavaliers are clearly going all-in right now, and with Mitchell on the roster, they should be on their way to making the playoffs for the first time since the LeBron era.

The former friends and co-hosts of The Joe Budden Podcast have once again begun speaking about their fallout. It has been some time since Budden parted ways with Mal Clay and Rory Farrell, and for the most part, none of them have spoken about the split since its initial controversy. However, Budden recently appeared on I Am Athlete, and during that chat, he addressed the deterioration of his relationship with his friends and colleagues.

“Some of that communication fades, with that, trust fades,” Budden said. “Some other things start to fade. You watch a friendship deteriorate, but now, you at work. Again, this is in real-time. So, to answer your question, though, if none of that existed, sky was the limit. We were—you hear the stories about Kobe and Shaq…same sh*t.”

While on The Juan Is Life podcast, Farrell addressed Budden’s recent comments in interviews,  admitting that when he first left Budden’s podcast, he was “angry” and “hurt.”

“t was a really sh*tty time in my life, personally and just business, ’cause again, how you’re saying something you’ve built and it’s the biggest thing ever, he reportedly said. “It’s what I knew for almost seven years that stopped in a day. It was definitely f*cked up. Obviously, there was a personal level to the whole thing.”

It was Budden’s Math Hoffa interview that reignited the flames of fury of Farrell.

“I’m never telling somebody they’re not allowed to talk about an experience they were involved with,” Farrell added. “I’m not mad at him for doing press runs or anything, it’s just the things he said in it, I know he knows are completely untrue. It pissed me off again when I was getting to a place where I was kind of over the sh*t. I was in a place where like I don’t really hate this person anymore. We’re still on this? And your story is changing? Like, what is going on here?”

“It is what it is at this point. I really don’t hold crazy resentments. I do wish everybody the best.”
