Benzino himself

Benzino is responding to a clip shared by 50 Cent, which seemingly shows him attempting to commit suicide.

“Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive him self with a knige because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her,” 50 wrote.

Benzino clarified: “First and foremost, I just want to let everybody know I’m okay. Second of all, I want to let everybody know that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie. My girl was helping me out. We was doing a script reading and that was a rehearsal for a Tubi movie. That was the scene from the movie. I would never ever put my hands on any woman. I’ve never done that in my life. That’s for cowards and I surely wouldn’t do anything to hurt myself.”

Benzino also had some words for 50 Cent, who he affectionately called by his legal name: “Thanks Curtis for promoting me. Keep on posting me, that’s dope. I’m in the gym heavy, benching 315. What you doing, Curtis?””

50 Cent Gets Messy As He Reshares A Video Of Benzino Going Through An Alarming Manic Episode

by

At this point, 50 Cent may as well start his own gossip page. Right now, there is a concerning video going around on the internet thanks in large part to the G-Unit boss. It involves rapper and former co-owner of The Source, Benzino, appearing to go through a manic episode. There is not a ton of information on the clip right now, but here’s what we know. According to AllHipHop, Benzino’s girlfriend, Ashley Bell, allegedly recorded and posted the footage of him crying and begging on his knees. A little bit later into it, he grabs a knife and holds it to his throat.

Ms. Bell urges him to try and pull the utensil away from, shouting, “Stop please. Stop…” Benzino then pleads her to call the police. However, she doesn’t want things to escalate to that level and she says back, “Give me the knife! I’ll let ’em know you’re calm. I’ll call ’em back.” After that, the clip ends, and yeah, it’s pretty chilling stuff. Now, this is where 50 Cent comes into the picture. He was the one to reshare the video and it’s why it’s spreading like wildfire at the moment.

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

He also claims to have some inside information about Benzino’s situation. In his caption, he says, “Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive himself with a knife because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her. 😳” Given that these two have been beefing for years, we are clearly taking this report by Fif with a huge grain of salt.

Fans are pretty mixed on the New York native doing this, with one person writing, “Why y’all blaming 50? This is public footage. Blame the GF for releasing it.” Another combats with, “Mental illness is no joke. Some of you are laughing about it but remember this can be someone you love. If not you.” Like we said, there’s still a lot to unpack, and we will hopefully learn more as time progresses.

50 Cent Claims Hypersexual Rappers Are “Damaging” Female Culture

by

50 Cent remains one of the loudest voices in hip hop. He may no longer be topping the charts, but when he speaks out on a music-related topic, people listen. 50 went on the Hot 97.5’s Mike P Podcast, and he took a stance that had some fans surprised. The G-Unit mogul took the current wave of female rappers to task for being overly sexual in their music. He believes that female artists in hip hop are becoming too one dimensional as a result. He even voiced concern for the girls who are growing up listening to them.

50 Cent made it very clear that he’s tired of the sex raps. “I just want somebody to break [through] that is not trying to sell some box,” he quipped. “Just need one!” The rapper went on to assert that women like Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla and Latto may inadvertently be doing harm to the girls who play their music and consider them role models. “I think this might be damaging female culture,” the rapper said. “Seriously.” The hosts chimed in by noting that Sexyy Red recently launched a lip gloss line with crass titles for each color. 50 Cent felt the business venture served to further prove his point. “What are you supposed to say?,” he asked.

50 Cent Wants Female Rappers To Switch It Up

50 Cent did acknowledge that he’s dabbled in sex raps in the past. Some of his biggest hits, like “Just a Little Bit” and “Candy Shop,” have relied on sexual innuendo. The difference, the rapper feels, is in how explicit the lyrics have gotten. “I was doing ‘Candy Shop’ and ‘Magic Stick,’” 50 Cent explained. “Like metaphors for sexual experiences. They are flat-out saying the experience in the music now.” 50 Cent may seem as though he’s targeting one specific demographic of hip hop, but the G-Unit icon also has critiques for the male rappers who are younger than him as well.

50 Cent also has problems with J Cole after he apologized to Kendrick Lamar for dissing him in a song. He could not fathom such a thing going down in his day. “When he apologized I was like, ‘Why did he do that?,’” he told Hot 97. “I wanted to call him and tell him, ‘Nooo.’” Peter Rosenberg asked 50 if the J Cole apology would hurt his standing as an all time great. The rapper responded “yes” without hesitation.

50 Cent Suggests That Jay-Z Is Only So Successful Because Of Beyonce

by

50 Cent is one of the biggest pot stirrers in the history of hip-hop, and right now, he’s wielding a massive spoon. Recently, the G-Unit leader made an appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast with comedian Andrew Schulz and he had a hot take regarding another rapper. If you have been keeping up with the New York native lately, you know he’s had a lot to say in regard to Jay-Z. It’s been that way for a while now, but with his recent rape allegations in the headlines one way or another, Fif has been all over that. He claims that he doesn’t have any real beef with Hov and that it’s just competition.

However, with him constantly talking about him in a negative way or taunting him, it’s hard to take his words at face value. So, what does 50 Cent have to say about the Roc Nation head honcho now? Well, it has to do with his success as a rapper and the number of awards he’s got. He suggests that if Beyonce wasn’t in the picture, then he would never be as big as he is today.

50 Cent Had The Whole Flagrant Panel Laughing At His Jay-Z Take

“When Jay signed his contract, the big one was with Beyonce. When he signed that contract, the marriage contract, he got trophies. Now those f***ing trophies came rolling in buddy. He started getting Grammys left and right,” Fif posited. “If you look at his career, he had one. He got like 20 now,” he added. 

After the FLAGRANT panel had a good laugh, Andrew then got serious for a moment. He asked 50 if all of Jay-Z’s wins are directly tied to that “marriage contract,” and he was quick to agree. “Absolutely. He’s been treated differently.” In addition to the Kendrick Lamar conversation, this segment of his interview is also riling up some folks online. “I wish 50 would make some good music again instead of gossiping all the time,” one YouTube commenter writes. “Between 50 and Dame i dont know which one talks about Jay more. Them dudes like Jay’s groupies,” another jokes.

50 Cent Loves Will Smith’s Answer To Diddy Party Rumors

by

50 Cent shows his appreciation for Will Smith after the award-winning entertainer stated he has never attended an infamous Diddy party. On Friday, a video of Will Smith in San Diego, California, addressing Diddy and memes surfaced on social media. “I don’t have s*** to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes,” said Smith to concertgoers. The actor added that he had his own drama and didn’t need to be swept up in that as well.

50 Cent showed his appreciation for Smith while sharing the video on his Instagram account. Promoting his new action channel, 50 captioned the post: “How you don’t like Will Smith man [shoulder shrug emoji]. LOL, I’m watching his movies [movie popcorn emoji] on 50CentAction on Roku.”  50 has chimed in on every aspect of Diddy’s current legal drama, accusing the mogul of sexual assault. Diddy and Will Smith know each other but have never been classified as friends.

50 Cent Enjoys A Will Smith Movie While The Actor Says “No Diddy”

Both well-known Miami residents, Will Smith, and Sony Pictures, enlisted Diddy, known as P. Diddly at the time, as the executive producer of 2003’s Bad Boys II motion picture soundtrack. In 2022, Diddly attempted to heal the broken friendship between Will Smith and Chris Rock after Smith slapped Rock at the Oscars. Diddly claimed the two movie stars made amends, but neither have confirmed the mogul’s claims. 

Will Smith joins other hip-hop veterans announcing they have never been to a Diddy party. Ice Cube was the first to say he had never attended a concert in California right after the mogul’s arrest in September. 50 Cent mentioned never attending Diddy’s parties in several interviews. The question has become a trending topic across From media. Jamie Foxx referenced the mogul and his parties in his new Netflix stand-up special, What Had Happened Was, released on December 10. Foxx claimed to have attended several Diddy parties but left early.

50 Cent Admits His Diddy Documentary Has ‘Become An Octopus’ As Allegations Continue To Pour In

by

It was first reported in December 2023 that 50 Cent was working on a documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Diddy. Things have progressed since then, both in terms of the documentary (it’s heading to Netflix, it was announced in September) and in terms of Diddy (new related lawsuits just keep coming).

Because of the latter point, the fact that this part of the Diddy story is far from complete, it turns out making the documentary has presented some challenges, 50 says.

On GMA3: What You Need To Know today (as Billboard notes), 50 explained, “It’s a difficult project because every day, there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened. So, it’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on.”

He was asked if he expected all of the Diddy allegations, and he said, “No, not this bad. Not this much stuff. I don’t think anyone could have anticipated this many accusations and things that have taken place.”

This may not be the only documentary 50 has in the works: In a post that has since been deleted, 50 wrote of Luigi Mangione (who is currently charged with murder in the shooting that resulted in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson), “I don’t know, I kinda like this killer. I’m sorry this is going this way it is but I’m doing a documentary on him, he is special! I apologize in advance for to anyone who doesn’t understand.”

50 Cent Believes the NFL Supporting JAY-Z is ‘Good News’

50 Cent Expendables

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed that the NFL would stand beside JAY-Z. 50 Cent, despite his trolling of HOV, supports the decision.

“This good news the NFL is gonna hold it down [football emoji],” 50 wrote. “Super Bowl is gonna be popping.”

Roger Goodell and the NFL are standing strong with JAY-Z and Roc Nation in the fall of a lawsuit alleging the rapper and mogul committed sexual assault.

Goodell acknowledged the situation at a press conference for the league’s partnership with Netflix.

“We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z’s really strong response to that,” Goodell said. “We know obviously that litigation is happening. But from our standpoint our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl.”

You can hear Goodell’s complete statement below.

50 Cent And Eminem Reunite On ‘Gunz N Smoke’ From Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre’s New Album, ‘Missionary’

20 years ago, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem were running hip-hop, and all four of them are still getting after it today. In fact, they all just teamed up on “Gunz N Smoke,” a new one from Snoop and Dre’s just-released album, Missionary.

50 spoke about his admiration for Snoop in a recent interview with Big Boy, saying, “I’m a fan, I’m that first. This is why you seen him on ‘P.I.M.P.’ immediately. I’m listening to him and Dre before I could attract from him, you know what I’m saying? It’s an honor to work with him.”

He also recently discussed why he doesn’t make as much new music these days, saying, “A lot of the music, if you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music. This is why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past, and I started going toward the film production and development of these projects. Because I think I can impact things in a bigger way through that.”

Listen to “Gunz N Smoke” above.

Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre Deliver The Goods With New Album “Missionary”

by

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are the most iconic duo in hip hop history. They broke the mold with “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” in 1992 and they haven’t looked back. They’ve also managed to keep the bar for their collaborations astoundingly high. 2001 and Compton were musical triumphs. And now we have the long anticipated Missionary, the sequel to Snoop Dogg’s debut, Doggystyle. Making a sequel to a classic is a daunting task, but Snoop and Dre manage to deliver the goods. Is it as good as their best material? Not really, but it’s still excellent.

The album opener, “Fore Play,” is a soulful and lush banger featuring BJ the Chicago Kid. It sets the table by establishing a laid back and G-Funk anchored sound. It works perfectly. The singles have been hit or miss, especially the Sting collaboration “Another Part of Me.” Fortunately, the gimmickry is at a minimum throughout the album. Missionary plays it straight, while allowing Snoop Dogg to flex his chemistry with a ton of superstar guests. 50 Cent and Eminem shine on the posse cut “Gunz N Smoke,” and Dr. Dre does his thing on his trio of guest verses. “Outta da Blue” is probably the standout cut in terms of Dre rhymes. Unlikely features also deliver, whether it be Jelly Roll or the late, great Tom Petty. Missionary can feel a bit like a kitchen sink album, sometimes, but the final product is a lot of fun.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

50 Cent Refuses To Believe He Lost A Rap Beef, But Gives Jadakiss Mad Props

by

50 Cent has had and continues to have plenty of beefs with hip-hop giants. One of his nastiest ones is with Ja Rule, and it still sort of seems to be going on. However, it’s worth mentioning that it is nowhere as serious as it once was. It was at or near its peak in the early to mid-2000s, when he dropped “New York” featuring Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Unbeknownst to the latter, him joining his once extremely mortal enemy would then lead him to become another foe. From there, Jada and Fif would go on to trade some tracks, with the former dropping the most notable in “Checkmate.”

However, unlike most of the feuds he has, this one with The LOX MC didn’t last all that long. Over the years, Jada has explained on various occasions as to why it was so short-lived. In an interview with Talib Kweli about four years ago, he explains, “I think Fif was really a fan… We was rocking with him, rooting for him — always rooting for the underdog. His story is one of the greatest stories.” That respect continued later on in the chat, “He came through one day. He called to say, ‘Yo, I’m coming through.’ He came through by himself. Sat down, kicked it for a few hours… He actually had a song for me and a song for [Styles] P to get on, on whatever album he was working on, and it’s been good ever since. It wasn’t even that serious. The people kind of blew it up more than it was.”

50 Cent & Jadakiss Continue To Grow Respect For One Another Years After Their Beef

Overall, that admiration and growth in their relationship has been super strong, even four years after those comments. 50 Cent popped out to Big Boy’s radio station for an interview recently to talk all the major topics in the genre currently. However, they took some time to look back on this Jadakiss situation. In classic Fif fashion, he was hilariously stubborn.

But in that same breath, he was willing to give Kiss his shine for his pen game during the battle. 50 believes that he never truly lost to him, but he admitted that his previous had moments where it got him to be like, “Ooh that was good.” 50 also goes to say that despite the structure of the songs against him not being that well executed, the bars were just that good in his eyes.
