In social media beefs you didn’t expect to see, things are getting tense between Trick Daddy and Uncle Murda. There wasn’t much rumbling from these two until Trick took to his cooking show to let off some steam. “And I’mma tell y’all somethin’ right now,” the music veteran said. “Viral is something that you do accidentally. Anybody that tries to go viral, you are considered, to me, as a clown. You’re a joke, you’re a fool, you’re a gimmick, you’re a fraud. You catfish. Viral is something that is supposed to happen accidentally unless you’re a content creator unless you’re an actor, unless you a clown that do magic tricks.”
Each year, Murda recaps what occurred with his “Rap Up” roundup. He targets just about anyone in entertainment, and Trick has found his name mentioned. In 2021, Murda called Trick a “cokehead” for negatively speaking about Beyoncé’s vocal talents. It’s obviously something that didn’t sit well.

“You mention the dead, you mention victims, you mention everybody, you mention people’s money, wives, children. You’re disrespectful and that’s clown sh*t,” Trick Daddy further stated. He also called Murda “the No. 1 clown for the last five years.” He added, “You said my name, and I didn’t say nothing about it because I didn’t want this to be about me. It’s not about me. This is about everybody that feel like they don’t have the voice to say something to you. I’m gon’ say something to you and I stand on what I said.”
The remarks made their way to Murda’s desk, and he happily reposted the clip of Trick’s show. In the caption, he also added, “This sh*t got me rolling Dammmm all that my n*gga @trickdaddydollars mad at me cause I called him a coke head #RapUp2023Intro.” The comment section quickly lit up, and 50 Cent dropped by to say what many others were thinking.
“LOL He just got him self in the next wrap up !” Fif stated. It looks like we’ll have to wait another ten months to hear Uncle Murda’s next “Rap Up,” but we can almost guarantee Trick Daddy’s name will make an appearance. Check out the clip of Trick above.
50 Cent recently revealed in a new interview the reason why he wrote his hit song “21 Questions.”
Fif sat down for an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber where he talked about Dr. Dre not wanting to include the song on 50’s debut studio album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
“[Dre] said, ‘I know what this is. It’s N.W.A with just one member and you really don’t need it,’” 50 said. “He didn’t know why I wanted to put the record on.”
50 then explained that he wanted to add the record because he thought that it would be good for his love life. “I wanted ladies to feel like maybe they could fix me, and I had done so many push-ups. So I felt like, ‘This is gonna be good for my love life!’ I’m dead serious.”
Fif continued, “I thought that they would see some way that they could possibly fix me or understand me in a different way. And their favorite line on the song was, ‘I love you like a fat kid loves cake.’ When I wrote it, I was thinking, I love you, but too much of you is no good for me. Like a fat kid loves cake.”
Despite Dre not wanting to add the song to the album, 21 Questions peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 shortly after its release, making it the second song from the album to reach No. 1 after “In Da Club.” The album would go on to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 and would sell 872,000 copies first week. Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ would end up being certified Diamond, indicating 10 million sales in the US.
Whether it be music or business, 50 Cent has never been one to hold back.
Recently the Queens-bred mogul stopped by MSNBC to chat about his career and the new deal with FOX, the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and more. During the conversation, the host talked with 50 Cent about his thoughts on Billboard’s list of the “Best Rappers of All Time,” where he placed 17th. While flattered at the nod, the rapper noted how flawed countdown lists can be and that “music marks time,” speaking to the generational rift between the OG rappers and younger ones.
50 Cent said for today’s music consumer, Future, is the more prominent artist right now compared to an older rapper like Jay-Z.
“[He’s] way bigger,” 50 said, “Like, there’s consistent music from him that didn’t chart that, huge records that people love and appreciate. Later, it may not have the same things to hold onto that you have at points.”
But not everyone seems to agree with the Power creator. Fat Joe agrees with the list and believes that Jay-Z— who earned the No.1 spot— is more relevant now than ever. While on Instagram live last week, Joe noted that many emcees who were the “gods at the time” with “flows like nobody else” fell off, whereas Jay-Z has remained consistent.
When 50 Cent first started his rap career in 1996, he led a dangerous life. The lyrics he expressed in the music that followed his troubled childhood were raw and heavy, but truthful. In an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, the rap mogul shared his reflection on his early career. “The stuff that they see that I’ve learned, it kinda kept me out of trouble at points,” 50 told Melber. “The stuff I was saying in the music in the very beginning, I was crazy to tell you the truth, Ari. I was absolutely crazy at that point.”
One of 50’s most celebrated works from his early career was his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. This best-selling rap album was charged with explicit lyrics and references to the rapper’s “crazy” beginnings. In “What Up Gangsta,” for example, 50 alludes to his gang relations. He describes, “nah, that’s a semi-auto and a vest on my chest, I try not to say nothin’ the DA might wanna play in court.” He continues these themes, rapping in “In da Hood,” “get robbed, get shot, shit is poppin’ in the hood.”
50 Explains His “Crazy” Youth
While “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” became instrumental to 50’s success, he notes how his fan base didn’t connect with him for the right reasons. He tells Melber, “Kids fell absolutely in love with me and they were in love with the wrong part of me. The part that won’t actually continue to be successful. The part that people won’t continue to be something that people celebrate.” Even today, 50 sees other hip-hop artists following in a similar suit. Specifically, he mentions rappers like 21 Savage, DaBaby, and Lil Durk. “They have to turn into something bigger and better as they go with the new information and new opportunities that come because they’re really street,” he says.
Nearly 25 years after the start of 50’s legacy, the rapper has fully changed his life around. The interview follows 50’s new development deal with Fox, which was also announced in his interview with Melber. With 24 shows across 10 different networks, this non-exclusive deal will open more doors for the 47-year-old to continue his work in television.
50 Cent’s making major plays in television. Though he’s hinted at a return to music since the beginning of the year, he recently announced a deal with Fox that would presumably eat up much of his time. Perhaps, he’ll still be working on new music during this time. However, over the years, he’s transformed into one of the biggest moguls in television. Between Power and BMF alone, Fif’s resume is quite extensive. The deal with Fox will open the gates for even more content from G-Unit Film and Television.
The move to Fox comes after his departure from Starz, the home to his most successful shows to date. The non-exclusive agreement will find Fif delivering scripted dramas, live action comedies, and animated series to Fox. “He is the rare multi-hyphenate with a deft hand at storytelling, no matter the format or medium, and we’re looking forward to developing new and exciting series for Fox with him and his team,” Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn said. Fif will undoubtedly come through with some excellent programming for Fox moving forward.
During his recent interview with Ari Melber on The Beat, Fif explained that his upcoming deal with Fox benefits him far more than his efforts with Starz. The non-exclusive aspect of the contract allows Fif to work with anyone. “This deal allows me to work with everyone,” he said, in contrast to his deal with Starz. Though he currently has 24 shows across 10 different networks, he explained that Fox will be his primary focus moving forward. “I’ll show them things first,” he added.
We’re excited to see what Fif has in store in the coming future. Currently, he’s plotting on the upcoming season of Power Book II: Ghost, which is set to debut next month. However, the success of BMF has inspired him to approach the series similarly to Power. He recently revealed that he’ll be delivering three different spin-offs in the BMF universe, though he hasn’t confirmed when we’ll see those debut. Check out the clip above and let us know your thoughts on 50 Cent’s deal.

There are few things that 50 Cent enjoys more in the world than free marketing. BMF star Lil Meech took a page out of Fif’s book and began berating the cast of Power Book II: Ghostthis week, beginning with Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. Eventually, he dragged his father, Big Meech, into the conversation, who stated that he doesn’t think Power can stand next to BMF. Meech stated that the show didn’t seem realistic by any means, and criticized Rainey’s character, Tariq.
50 Cent executive produces both shows, but he has no problem pitting them against each other for the sake of views. The rapper shared a promo picture of Power Book II: Ghost including an image of Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. “Ghost is coming back @michaelraineyjr said that BMF shit ain’t hitting,” Fif captioned the post. Of course, it didn’t take long for Lil Meech or Rainey to react to Fif’s post. We thought the beef was put to rest but clearly, that wasn’t the case.
Lil Meech Tells 50 Cent: “This Look Like A Star Trek Promo”
It didn’t take long for Lil Meech to slide into the comment section of 50 Cent’s post and take aim at the Power cast. First, he criticized Gianni Paolo for looking as “soft as cotton.” However, he echoed his father’s sentiments surrounding Tariq’s lifestyle – living as a college student while trying to have one foot in the streets. “5 I hop this season he not still taking UBER and bringing his girls to his dorm. Can the n***a atleast buy a house?” Meech wrote under the post.
Later on, Meech shared a screenshot of 50 Cent’s post and compared the look of the latest Ghost promo shoot to Star Trek. “This look like a Star Trek promo,” he wrote. “Look at their serious face.” From there, he further reiterated that Tariq should spend money on something other than lawyer fees and Ubers this season. “LMAO somebody tell bro buy a Hellcat this season or sumn so he can stop walking home putting miles on them Air Forces,” he added. Check out Meech’s comments above.
50 Cent has inked a new non-exclusive deal with Fox which will help him form more TV shows through his G-Unit Film & Television company. This comes after his feud with cable network Starz. Amid his contract with Starz, which is set to expire, the “In Da Club” artist has gotten a non-exclusive TV deal […]
50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) has made an immensely successful crossover to television in recent years, as he made both the Power franchise and Black Mafia Family shows at Starz before leaving his deal last September. While he’s produced projects here and there since 2003, according to his IMDb, his Starz creations have had a massive impact — even if his relationship with the network grew rocky.
“09-17-22 official day of really owning my content and deciding where and how I do it moving forward,” he shared on Instagram at the time.
Now, Jackson has his sights on another network in a newly-announced non-exclusive deal with Fox. Jackson and his G-Unit Film & Television production company will develop “scripted dramas, live-action comedies, and animated series,” according to Variety.
“I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted, and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions,” Jackson shared in a statement.
Sharing the news on Instagram, 50 also wrote, “How’s your day going, mine is going good. Happy Valentine’s Day GLG GreenLightGang i don’t miss.”
“Whether it’s music, film, or television, Curtis always delivers premium entertainment that captivates millions of fans across the globe,” Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn added. “He is the rare multi-hyphenate with a deft hand at storytelling, no matter the format or medium, and we’re looking forward to developing new and exciting series for Fox with him and his team.”
In addition to Jackson’s credits, G-Unit (not to be confused with his former hip-hop collective) is still in development on Fightland and Queen Nzinga at Starz. The company also produced ABC’s For Life and WeTV’s Hip Hop Homicides.
