50 Cent Claims He’s “Best Friends” With Fat Joe Despite Years Of Feuding

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent and Fat Joe have a lot in common. Both are New York legends. Both got their start in the 90s, before reaching their commercial peak in the 2000s. Despite, or perhaps because of these similarities, though, 50 and Joe hated each other. They spent years taking shots at each other on record and on the radio. It was impossible to fathom these two getting along at one point, and yet, they buried the hatchet. 50 Cent talked about his relationship with Fat Joe in 2024, and claimed that they had actually become best friends.

50’s revelation came about during a recent episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game. The rapper stated that his beef with Fat Joe stemmed from his proximity to Murder, Inc. Basically, 50 Cent declared anyone who was cool with Murder, Inc. to be an op, and Joe fit the bill. “I didn’t f*ck with people because they had already dealt with them,” 50 explained. “The entire beginning of my career I was up against the leverage of Murder Inc. So, my whole beef with Fat Joe was really his loyalty.” 50 Cent never had a legitimate problem with Joe, and once the dust settled, the two men actually respected each other.

“Later we become the best friends, like I really f*ck with him,” 50 Cent admitted. “He’s loyal to a default, because he worked with him.” This isn’t the first time that the G-Unit founder has expressed regret over the Joe situation. During a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, 50 unpacked his relationship with Joe and realized that he’d misread the situation. “I would see him a little uncomfortable with the success I was having, and I interpreted as, ‘He doesn’t like me,’” the rapper admitted. “When he’s really the kind of guy you want to be friends with because he’s loyal to a default.”

Fat Joe has heard 50 Cent’s kind words, and responded similarly. The Terror Squad boss went on Cam Capone News to hash out what happened, and saluted 50 for going toe to toe with him. He also said that the beef with 50 inadvertently boosted his reputation as a New York legend. “I had the persona of New York Suge Knight,” he noted. “So for [50 Cent] talking about Fat Joe in the same city. The funeral homes was making bids.” We’re glad both artists have moved on, and have seemingly done so together.

Hurricane Chris Claims He’s Cool With 50 Cent After Dissing Him In Viral Rant

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hurricane Chris has had a rollercoaster week. The rapper went viral for criticizing 50 Cent’s Humor & Harmony Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. He appreciated the love (and the money) 50 brought to the city, but lamented the fact that no local artists were involved. Hurricane Chris, for context, was born and raised in Shreveport. He labeled 50 Cent a “culture vulture” for his antics. He also took the G-Unit rapper to task for spending $500K on law enforcement during the four day festival. After a few days, though, the rapper had a change of heart.

Hurricane Chris clarified his feelings toward 50 Cent on August 22. He told KSLA News 12 that he has no personal issues with the G-Unit rapper, and felt like he’d been misunderstood. Calling someone “culture vulture” seems pretty pointed, but we digress. “It’s no hate,” Hurricane Chris told the outlet. “It’s all love, but I must voice my opinion because I been here, and I been in Shreveport.” The rapper went on to note that his negative comments toward 50 was a “big misunderstanding.” He even said that he’d be willing to collaborate with the rapper at some point in the future.

The real issue Hurricane Chris had with the event was the lack of local exposure. He appreciated what 50 was doing for his hometown. He just felt like hometown artists should have been present. “[Shreveport does] have artists,” the rapper told the outlet. “A lot of artists, more artists than that I can’t even name that would rock stages like that. It’s not about me.” Hurricane Chris once again made sure that he was square with 50 following his viral remarks. “I definitely had no malice,” he concluded. “It was just me wanting to see my community be respected… I was in one of those moods.”

50 Cent didn’t respond to Hurricane Chris’ retraction, but he did respond to the rapper’s initial disses. 50 responded exactly the way you would expect: memes and mockery. The G-Unit mastermind fired back at Hurricane Chris by dubbing him a one-hit wonder. “Oh no you not gonna play that one song you got,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Bay Bay just went on stage wit Master P.” In a separate IG Story, 50 Cent flat out called Chris wack. “Boy ya sh*t is wack,” he wrote. “Ya sh*t gets no play in my ride.” Hurricane Chris definitely picked a fight with the wrong guy. Hopefully 50 agrees to bury the hatchet.

August 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is already a titan in television and film, so why is he taking on the project of a Diddy docuseries? His answer, “Why wouldn’t I.”

In a cover story with Us Weekly highlighting the development of his legacy and empire and simply “how I got rich,” 50 details the reasoning behind making Diddy’s story his next venture.

“I’m the only person in hip-hop culture that has produced any hit television,” 50 said. “Why wouldn’t I be the person to produce it? And I’m not on the tapes. [Party videotapes were reportedly found after search warrants were executed on Diddy’s homes.] See, some of the people who have been around in the culture who are not saying anything — that’s because they’ve been to the parties, [and] they don’t know what part of their experiences are on tape. So it keeps them quiet and it looks like I’m the only guy, but I’ve been [saying] for years that something’s not right.”

TMZ reported first that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s “Diddy Do It” will be a multi-part documentary. Word is Netflix won out on a hotly contested bidding war to secure the rights to the project.

Sadly, we recognize the alleged and confirmed victims, namely Cassie Ventura, who were all brave enough to speak out against Combs, may be subjected to reliving their nightmares with so much attention being given to projects like Jackson’s documentary.

“Diddy Do It” is being produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television Studios. Several networks and, get this, all of the streaming platforms were vying for the rights to the multi-part series. It looks like the series is poised to premiere on the world’s biggest streamer soon, but no date has been announced.

50 Cent Sends Message To Young Buck As He Prepares To Repay Debt

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, a major update in the ongoing battle between former G-Unit bandmates came through by way of AllHipHop. According to them, Young Buck had collected enough money to pay off the debt he owes 50 Cent. It totals out to $250,000 and it comes from a loan that the G-Unit head honcho took out to aid Buck. Speaking of which, the latter had to apply for bankruptcy in 2020 after life hit him hard in 2019. It took the Nashville, Tennessee rapper quite a bit of time to come up with the money. However, things finally seem to be on the up and up for Buck.

Unfortunately, he did need to sell a lot of valuable assets to get this done. From jewelry to expensive cars to his catalog, Buck ultimately had to sacrifice in order to satisfy 50. All of this was able to go for over one million dollars and because of this, he’s also able to pay the IRS the $190,000 he owes to them for child support. Now, with this being done, HipHopDX says that Buck has no more contractual obligations to 50 Cent.

Young Buck Finally Able To Repay His $250,000 Debt To 50 Cent

August 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to a report from AllHipHop, Nashville rapper Young Buck, former G-Unit member, is now able to repay 50 Cent. This of course stems from the longstanding dispute between these two mortal enemies over failing to meet contractual obligations. Young Buck had to file for bankruptcy in May of 2020 due to severe financial struggles and jail time as well. However, because Fif felt that Buck was not living up to these requirements, the G-Unit boss was trying to block him from filing for bankruptcy. Overall, it seems that the head honcho has won the never-ending back-and-forth. Overall, $250,000 was the target for the multi-hyphenate, and he’s getting all of it.

“According to documents obtained by AllHipHop.com, Buck has sold enough assets from his estate to cover all outstanding claims, including his debt to 50 Cent”. The publication goes into further detail on exactly what Buck had to sell off. That reportedly includes jewelry, vehicles, and his catalog. Overall, all of this turned out to total $1,023,669.67.

Young Buck Can Reset After Paying 50 Cent

On top of removing this massive figure off his plate, Young Buck is also able to clear off his child support burden. That number has accumulated to $190,000 and is owed to the IRS. This has to be a great feeling for the Tennessee native, regardless of how he feels toward 50. It might be a decently long road back, but the veteran MC can start over a bit and focus on his future.

What are your thoughts on Young Buck paying back the $250,000 he owes to 50 Cent? Do you think the G-Unit signee will be able rebound fully after this? Does this signify the end of their ugly relationship npw that Fif has his money? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

50 Cent Flexes New Rolex Watch Dedicated To His Late Grandfather

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is a watch connoisseur. He’s up there with JAY-Z in terms of impressive wrist wear collections. The rapper’s latest acquisition, however, has an additional sentimental value. 50 took to Instagram on August 6 to flex a brand new Rolex watch from Turbo Tourbillion. The Rolex is a sight to behold, with a custom design from New York jeweler Tajia Diamonds and a staggering price tag of $5 million. 50 Cent justified the cost, however, by noting that the Rolex is a tribute to his late grandfather.

The rapper revealed that a photo of his grandfather was actually printed on the face of the watch. “Our time here is limited,” he wrote in the caption. “I want to thank you in advance for not wasting mine.” It’s a touching tribute, and one that makes sense given how important 50 Cent’s grandparents were in his life. The rapper’s grandfather, Curtis Jackson, Jr., was a particularly huge influence on him. 50 told Now Afro Beats that Jackson, Jr. effectively raised him from a young age. “We were living on my grandfather’s income,” he recalled. “He was real old-fashioned. He is a representation of tradition for me.”

50 Cent credited Curtis Jackson, Sr. with shaping the way he perceived wealth and the value of hard work. “If you understand where you’re at financially, you make logical decisions versus if you didn’t have an understanding because he was handling things,” the rapper explained. “Then you could feel deprived. It could feel like there’s something else out there that you’re not experiencing.” It’s ironic, then, that the rapper would spend a whopping $5 million on a time piece as tribute, but the intention is undeniable.

A day after Jackson, Sr.’s passing, 50 Cent memorialized him on Instagram. He posted several photos of his grandfather, and thanked him for everything he did to provide. “My old man is [a] tuff act to follow, he sacrificed for all of us,” the rapper asserted. “He made me smile every time I saw him.” Jackson, Sr.’s wife Beulah, passed away from cancer in 2022. 50 was similarly effusive in his praise for his grandma, telling Big Issue that she was the person he loved the most. “None of them impacted like when my grandmother died,” he admitted. “She was the love of my life.”

YG Says He Remains Aligned with “FDT”: ‘It’s Still That’

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There is no switch-up in YG’s game. Appearing on a stream with Adin Ross, YG revealed he still does not love Donald Trump.

“I think it’s still [fuck Donald Trump],” YG said. “I seen something a week or two weeks ago that Trump was trying to give immunity to police officers and I don’t understand how a human being can do that. I’m Black so I got a lot of homies and friends that been in police brutality situations where they ain’t really do nothing wrong.

“Police tripping out and n-ggas end up dead or fucked up in jail and all type of shit, and I feel like police should be responsible for their actions. But for Trump – he thinks different and I don’t fuck with that.”

YG said during Adin Ross’ stream that he still stands by his 2016 song “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump),” featuring Nipsey Hussle and called out Trump over his support for police immunity.pic.twitter.com/XQrsrvkrER

After shocking the world by walking out during the Republican National Convention to 50 Cent’s part real-life/part fable hit “Many Men” earlier this month, former President Donald Trump came on controversial internet personality Adin Ross’ stream to the assassination survival track.

In the beginning of the stream, Ross is seen setting up his camera in front a crowd of seated Trump supporters. Many Men can be heard in the background and a few seconds later, Trump is seen walking out from a hallway behind the soon to be cheering crowd.

On the livestream, Trump addresses a few topics, including Young Thug’s current RICO trial, to which Trump says he heard that he has been treated unfairly and comments, “He needs to be treated fairly.”

50 Cent Beats Ex-Drug Kingpin In $1B Lawsuit: What We Know

August 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has emerged victorious in a $1 billion lawsuit filed by an ex-drug kingpin who claimed the entertainment mogul stole his life story to create the hit series Power, All Hip Hop reports. The legal battle began in 2021 when Cory “Ghost” Holland filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent, Courtney Kemp, Starz, and Lionsgate. Furthermore, Holland asserted that the show’s character Ghost, played by Omari Hardwick, closely mirrored his own experiences. He also claimed that 50 and the show’s creators used his story without his consent for profit. However, the court has now ruled in favor of 50 Cent, dismissing all claims against him.

The Origins Of The Lawsuit

In 2021, Cory “Ghost” Holland initiated a billion-dollar lawsuit against 50 Cent, Courtney Kemp, Starz, and Lionsgate. Holland alleged that the character “Ghost” in the series Power unlawfully reflected his life without his consent. He detailed his life story in a 2007 CD titled Blasphemy, which he claimed to have sent to the father of series co-creator Courtney Kemp as a plea for help to exit the drug trade legitimately. Additionally, Holland accused 50 and the show’s creators of exploiting his story for profit without his permission.

Court’s Ruling On Defamation Claims

50 Cent denied all allegations. Judge Analisa Torres sided with 50 and dismissed the claims in each case. In the first case, it was decided that the character “Ghost” in the show Power did not directly refer to Holland, which is necessary for a defamation claim. Despite similarities in family structure, the court found these to be mere coincidences.

Harassment & Threat Allegations

Holland’s second lawsuit accused 50 Cent of sending goons to harass and threaten him. He specifically alleged that 50 Cent showed up in his neighborhood with an entourage in a fleet of vans and SUVs, looking for a man named “Ghost.” In another incident, people associated with the rapper allegedly played a threatening song near his house, which Holland felt was an attempt to send a clear message to him. The legal battle took a treacherous turn when Holland threatened violence against 50 and his legal team. In a letter obtained by AllHipHop, Holland warned of potentially fatal consequences if 50 Cent or anyone associated with him confronted him again.

Dismissal Of Claims & Conclusion

Judge Torres dismissed the harassment claims against 50 Cent, citing that one of Holland’s claims was past the statute of limitations and that the assertion about the threatening song didn’t hold up in court. “There is no indication that this conduct constituted a threat, much less an ‘imminent threat of harmful contact’ as required for an assault claim,” Judge Torres explained. Holland’s third lawsuit claimed Lionsgate should pay $300 million for not controlling the G-Unit boss since the movie studio produces the Power franchise. However, the negligent supervision claim against Lionsgate and Starz was dismissed as Holland failed to demonstrate a duty of care owed to him by the companies. The cases have been closed, and judgment has been entered in favor of 50 Cent, bringing an end to the legal battle.
