50 Cent Thinks The Warriors Might Kick Him Out Of The Next Game After The Kings Ejected E-40 In Game 1
Throughout the first two games of the NBA Playoffs series between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, the Kings’ beverage partner 50 Cent has been a fixture at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
However, it sounds like he might be rethinking making the trip 370 miles northwest to the Warriors’ Chase Center for the next few games after one of his rap peers, E-40, was given the boot from Game 1 after a contentious exchange with another fan in the expensive seats. 50 joked about the Warriors exacting vengeance for their unofficial rap mascot on Instagram.
“I was thinking about jumping on this jet to the Bay Area for game 3 but the KINGS kicked E40 out,” he wrote. “They might want to kick 50 out the Chase center. LOL.”
The Dubs have reason to be a little salty after the first two games of the series, which Sacramento now leads 2-0 after defeating the Warriors 114-106 on Monday night. To add insult to injury, the cornerstone of Golden State’s defense, Draymond Green, was suspended one game after stepping on the chest of Kings forward Domantas Sabonis — an incident 50 had thoughts about as well.
E-40 was kicked out of Game 1 after the altercation, which started when a fan behind him told him to sit down. The Vallejo rapper made it a point to ascribe the response to “racial bias” in a statement, writing, “Security saw a disagreement between a Black man and a white woman and immediately assumed I was at fault.”
If 50 does make the trip, he could probably avoid a similar outcome, so long as he does the opposite of his rap career and doesn’t start any beef.
The Debut Season Of ‘Iconic Records’ Will Dive Deep Into The Notorious B.I.G.’s Classic Album ‘Life After Death’
The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 album Life After Death, which was released just days after he was murdered, is an iconic piece of hip-hop history. Now, to coincide with the ongoing celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary this year, Warner Music Group’s WMX has announced the debut season of visual podcast series Iconic Records will focus on the landmark Biggie Smalls album.
The eight-episode run of the show, hosted by Radio Hall Of Fame member Angie Martinez, will premiere on April 29 at 8 p.m. ET, on the new WMX Hip-Hop channel on The Roku Channel (channel 1137).

Guests appearing over the course of the season will include Fat Joe, Pusha T, Rick Ross, Too Short, Lil Cease, and surprise guests yet to be revealed.
Martinez said in a statement, “Biggie was, and still is, one of the most important artists of our lifetime and Life After Death is a masterpiece! To collaborate with WMX on this series has been an incredible experience. It’s especially meaningful as we also pay homage to 50 years of hip-hop and how it’s changed the course of history.”
Ben Blank — WMX president, media & creative content — also noted, “We’re excited to be able to share stories about the albums that have shaped entire generations so profoundly – beginning with Biggie’s Life After Death. The launch of Iconic Records embraces the huge appetite and need for unique content tailored for genre-specific audiences. WMX lives at a crossroads where artists, content, and experiences converge to reach music fans where they are, and this exciting series is the first of many forums in which we will continue to tell the stories about the art that shapes and inspires our culture.”
Wayne Barrow, Biggie’s manager, added, “The Notorious B.I.G. is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. His work has been examined and reviewed before, but this series provides new stories and firsthand accounts by the people that were there. It’s something special.”

During her performance at Coachella this weekend, Latto brought out rising star TiaCorine to debut their remix to TiaCorine‘s breakout song, “Freaky T.” The song is the genre-bending North Carolina rapper’s most successful to date, generating well over 20 million combined streams across platforms. Today, she announced the official release date of the remix: this Friday, April 21.

The song is the latest remix in Latto’s growing catalog as she becomes one of the more sought-after feature artists in hip-hop today. Last month, she added a spark plug verse to viral sensation Lola Brooke’s breakout track “Don’t Play With It” after contributing another attention-grabbing appearance to Chicago rapper Mello Buckzz’s song “Boom, Pt. 2.” A preview clip of their video shoot for the song produced a viral moment in which Latto showed off her now-signature leopard-print Target panties.
And just before the end of 2022, Latto became one of the last artists to collaborate with southern rap legend Gangsta Boo, teaming up with yet another buzzy newcomer, GloRilla, for the bow-throwing anthem “FTCU.” She’s shown an ear for talent and a willingness to share her spotlight that bodes well for TiaCorine, who will get the perfect jumpstart for her own flourishing career when their collaboration drops on Friday.
Lil Meech Confronts Fan In Leaked Video
Lil Meech is still a fairly new face to the rap and acting worlds. The son of Black Mafia Family member Demetrius Flenory Sr. (Big Meech), Lil Meech broke out in 50 Cent’s Black Mafia Family dramatization, BMF. In that, Lil Meech portrays his father, whom he also self-released his first single in honor of. Black Mafia Family was a drug smuggling operation that would later launch a promotion agency and record label as a front. Lil Meech’s father was arrested in 2005 and eventually jailed on a 30-year sentence. He is eligible for parole in 2028.
Since breakout in BMF, Lil Meech has earned a guest spot on Euphoria as well as a small role in the Machine Gun Kelly film Taurus. Furthermore, he has received praise for his small body of work. BMF currently holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Taurus holds a 62% rating. However, Meech is now going viral for demanding someone respect his personal space.
Lil Meech Tells Fan “Don’t Touch Me”
In the brief video, which has been uploaded across most social media networks, Lil Meech is seen at an event. An offscreen woman can be heard asking to see Meech’s drip and repeatedly tapping the actor on the arm. Eventually, Meech turns around and can be heard saying “Don’t touch me”. Meech then turns his back to the woman and ignores her. The camera then pans over to the woman, who gestures to Meech’s large BMF necklace and makes a comment about just wanting to see his drip. That is the extent of the footage that has currently been released, but it is more than enough to send the internet wild.
Response to the video has been mixed. Meech’s defenders argue that he has every right to personal space and the woman was out of line. However, there is a vocal set of detractors accusing Meech of acting like his father. Despite these, detractors, most people are either defending Meech or expressing confusion over why people are making such a big deal over the video. Regardless, people are talking about Lil Meech, and not because of his acting.

Pusha T Labels Biggie’s “Life After Death” The “Best Double Album Ever”
Pusha T says that The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 album, Life After Death, is the “best double album ever.” He revealed his thoughts on the project during a trailer for Warner Music Group’s new visual podcast series Iconic Records. The first season of the podcast will dive into Biggie’s classic final album.
“[Life After Death] is by far the best double album ever created — ever,” Pusha T says via a Zoom call. He wasn’t alone in his praise of the album. Rick Ross also noted: “He had the attention of not just the rap game, but the entire world! … There will never be another B.I.G.” Iconic Records will premiere on the WMX Hip-Hop channel on The Roku Channel on April 29 through an exclusivity deal. It will later be available to stream elsewhere starting on May 1.
Pusha T Performing At Coachella
The Iconic Records trailer isn’t the first time that Pusha has praised the late Biggie Smalls. Writing an op-ed for Rolling Stone in 2015, he labeled Biggie the greatest to ever do it. “I believe the Notorious B.I.G. was the greatest rapper who’s ever lived,” he wrote at the time. “His personality was all confidence. This guy’s 300-plus pounds with a fucking lazy eye — and what woman did not love Biggie Smalls? You have to be damn near magical to do that.”
Iconic Records‘ analysis of Life After Death comes after the 25th anniversary of the classic album’s release. Speaking in a statement for the podcast, Angie Martinez remarked that it is a “masterpiece.” “It’s an honor to host the first-ever season of Iconic Records,” Martinez said. “Biggie was, and still is, one of the most important artists of our lifetime and Life After Death is a masterpiece! To collaborate with WMX on this series has been an incredible experience. It’s especially meaningful as we also pay homage to 50 years of hip hop and how it’s changed the course of history.”
