50 Cent is the first in a long list of names that should apologize to Megan Thee Stallion. During a visit to Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent apologized to Hot Girl Meg for comparing Thee Stallion to Jussie Smollett, who was believed to orchestrate a hate crime hoax.
50 Cent stated his judgment was thrown off by Thee Stallion’s conversation with Gayle King, where she denied a sexual relationship with Lanez. 50 thought everything forward was a lie, and he was not supportive.
“The only reason I felt I should apologize is when I heard the phone conversation, it made me feel like ‘oh shit, now I know what happened,’” 50 said, alluding to Lanez’s calls from jail.

(SPOILERS for this week’s BMF episode will be found below.)
BMF returned last week with a season two premiere episode that left us with plenty to talk about. Meech and Terry are still split with Terry walking away from the drug game, one that nearly cost him his eye, to begin a car-ride service with his father Charles. Meech enters a new partnership to receive a new supply of drugs and it leads to the start of the Black Mafia Family. We also learn about the fates of Big L and Lamar as well as why Detective Bryant won’t leave B-Mickie alone.
The aforementioned events in the season two premiere of BMF, titled “Family Dinner,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them belong as well as details about the scenes that they are heard in.
Sunshine Anderson — “Heard It All Before”
This is the first song we hear in the episode. It plays at the 02:42 mark as older Terry (played by Mustafa Harris) is on the phone with his significant other as he prepares to get out of the country. His plan goes left when Detective Bryant and a SWAT team break into the house to arrest him and other members of BMF.
50 Cent — “Wish Me Luck” Feat. Charlie Wilson
This is the theme song of BMF. It plays at the 08:01 mark in “Family Dinner.” While 50 Cent and Charlie Wilson’s voices are only heard on it, the song also features Snoop Dogg and Moneybagg Yo.
Armando — “You With Me”
This Armando record plays at the 13:36 mark as Terry is taken aback by Markeisha’s beauty as she walks into the gym for a basketball game at St. Cecilia. There isn’t much record of this song online, but the BMF public relations team confirmed that this is the song that plays at that moment in the episode.
Albert King — “Born Under A Bad Sign”
We hear Albert King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign” at the 19:15 mark as Meech reconnects with K-9 to return his cocaine. K-9 had Meech bring it back from Las Vegas with the goal of seeing how fast and efficiently he could get it done. Meech accepts the job with the hope of gaining K-9’s trust to enter a partnership.
Marlon Coles — “Cool In You”
Marlon Coles’ “Cool In You” plays at the 30:33 mark after Terry’s second meeting with Markeisha. He runs into her at a Detroit insurance company, where she works as an associate. It’s clear that Terry is falling for Markeisha as the song plays as he imagines getting intimate with Markeisha despite laying next to his girlfriend LaWanda.
E-Hart & Don Caban — “Chasing Paper”
You can hear this record at the 36:00 mark as Meech returns to K-9 to once again convince him that he should allow Meech to move his product. Meech succeeds in his mission, but this interaction also ends with him enjoying a plate of steak and learning that K-9 killed Big L on his behalf.
The Delfonics — “Ready Or Not Here I Come (Can’t Hide From Love)”
The Delfonics can be heard at the 50:20 mark just after we learn that Lamar is alive. Heading into season two, we assumed that Lamar was dead after he was hit during a shootout with Meech. While he was severely injured and left in a coma, Lamar survived the gunshot and we can almost be sure that he’ll set out to retaliate against Meech.
New episodes of ‘BMF’ are available on the STARZ app on Fridays at 12:00 am EST and on the STARZ TV channel at 8:00 pm EST.
Among the many, many men trolling Megan Thee Stallion during Tory Lanez’s assault trial, perhaps the highest-profile one was 50 Cent. While Drake issued a tone-deaf punchline on his and 21 Savage’s joint album Her Loss, 50 outright cast doubt on Meg’s entire account of Tory’s attack on her in 2020, comparing Meg on Instagram to Jussie Smollett, the Empire actor who was convicted of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for apparently staging a hate crime on himself in 2019.
However, in the wake of Tory’s conviction for assault for shooting Megan in her feet, it seems 50 Cent has changed his tune. While appearing on Los Angeles radio show BigBoyTV, he told the veteran host, “I’m gonna apologize to Megan Thee Stallion. I said some things, and it was because… On social media I posted things that — when she was with Gayle [King] — she said, ‘Were you intimate with Tory Lanez?’ And she said, ‘What?’ and it was like, ‘No.’ And I was like, ‘Ah, she lying.’ At that point I knew she was lying, it wouldn’t be no reason for them to be around each other. From that it felt like she was lying, to me.”
50 said he realized the error of his ways, though, upon hearing the audio of Tory’s panicked phone call to Kelsey Harris on the night of the shooting. when I heard the phone conversation… That made me feel like, ‘Oh shit,’” he admitted. “‘Now I know what happened.’ I’m sure that was probably what swayed people in court, too.”
That would constitute 50’s second apology to Meg for discrediting her after he previously posted a meme making light of the shooting which he later deleted. “Damn, I didn’t think this sh*t was real,” he wrote. “It sounded so crazy. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I hope you can accept my apology. I posted a meme that was floating around. I wouldn’t have done that if I knew you was really hurt. Sorry.”
Perhaps, in the future, he’ll consider this before rushing to get a laugh at someone else’s expense… but there’s little reason to suspect that will be the cast.
There were several takeaways from the Tory Lanez case, but a social media reaction from 50 Cent caused havoc. Fif is known for trolling his famous peers during some viral moment, but his criticism of Megan Thee Stallion while Lanez was on trial rubbed the public the wrong way.
In one post, he suggested that Megan was the new Jussie Smollett. “Damn i’m confused all this sh*t going around [shrugging shoulders emoji],” Fif wrote in the caption. “Don’t know what to think. LOL.”
In another, he shared a meme of Lanez chasing Megan while using a still from Boyz n the Hood. “Run Ricky,” he added as the image was from the scene of a character being shot during a drive-by.
People were outraged and accused 50 Cent of being insensitive. The usually unapologetic Power player did something out of the ordinary during his recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood—he apologized for his remarks.
“I’m gonna apologize to Megan Thee Stallion,” said Fif. “I said some things—and it was because on social media I posted things that, when she said, she was with [Gayle King]. She said, ‘Were you intimate with Tory Lanez?’ And she said, ‘What? No.’ I was like, ‘Ah, she lyin’.’”
From that moment, 50 Cent pegged Megan as a liar, so he decided to make fun of her.
“Little things would pop up and I wasn’t being supportive of her,” he added. “The only reason why I felt like I should apologize to her is because when I heard the phone conversation.” Fif was referring to the jail call between Lanez and Kelsey Harris. It convinced him that Megan was telling the truth.
there is literally no reason to believe that a story that hasn’t changed & came out involuntarily is untrue.
i cannot imagine being @theestallion and having to see grown ass men cape for another not-so-grown ass man whose ego caused him to assault her with a deadly weapon.
While 50 Cent received a tongue-lashing from people across the globe, no one reacted as vehemently as Chika. She penned a series of tweets to the media mogul and others who agreed with his criticism of the Houston hitmaker.
Meanwhile, Lanez was found guilty of three counts related to the shooting. He is reportedly scheduled for sentencing on February 28.
do you understand that if that drunken imbecile would’ve aimed differently and hit her fatally, this woman would be DEAD?
do you understand that this woman protected this man in the moment, showing more consideration than the law would EVER show you???
50 Cent helped Mo’Nique pick her career back up but that only came after a difficult conversation with Tyler Perry.
At the time, Mo’Nique struggles to find work in the entertainment industry after failing to thank Lee Daniels during her Oscar speech for Precious. She also claimed that Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry blackballed her.

However, 50 Cent was adamant about reviving her career. He encouraged the Black film community to cast her in new films while pushing back against cancel culture.
“We only [supposed] to cancel shit that ain’t good for the culture. We need you to WIN again now MO’NIQUE,” he wrote.
During his recent interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent discussed helping Mo’Nique and his conversation with Perry following the incident. While the famed filmed director initially asked Mo’Nique to apologize for “blackballing” claims, Fif offered another perspective to Perry.
“Like, Mo’Nique, why is she cancelled? I had to revisit that,” he explained. He was confused that she was out of work for 13 years because of something she said.
“I know Tyler wouldn’t support that,” he continued. “He never told nobody not to work with her… When I talked to him, he was like, ‘Nah, I never told no one not to work with her.’ And I said, ‘But you’re Tyler Perry and you never told anyone to work with her.’ He was like, ‘I never looked at it like that.’”
50 Cent recalled telling Perry that, in this instance, he needed to recognize how powerful his influence is on the industry.
Over the weekend, Ja Rule was scheduled to perform at Power 106.9’s Jingle Jam at the Baxter Arena in Omaha, Nebraska. However, before he came out, the DJ tasked with hyping up the crowd before Ja Rule took the stage, started playing 50 Cent’s 2003 hit song “In Da Club.”
In the clip that leaked online, members of Ja Rule’s team are seen telling the DJ to cut the song. “Stop the show right here,” one person demanded. “Aye, cut that shit off!” another said.
After the video of the mishap surfaced, 50 Cent came out and commented on what happened, seemingly disappointed that he was not behind it. “LOL. Now this is some funny shit ! I wish i had something to do with it,” 50 tweeted.
Despite the two having beefed two decades ago, it seems as if the two artists still hold some resentment toward each other. In 2018, 50 Cent had apparently trolled Ja Rule when he reportedly bought out the first 2 rows to one of the “Between Me and You” artist’s concerts. In 2020, Ja Rule denied those reports.
“It’s cap, yo!” Ja Rule said. “He’s capping. King of cap, nigga. I tell niggas, I say, ‘Yo, I got 10 stacks right now for anybody that can find footage of this foolery that this nigga is talking about.’ Listen, we live in a world of fucking, everything is on video. Come on, man. Stop with the foolery, man!”
He added: “Even the thought of it is still stupid, because nigga, all you did if you did that, was put money in my pocket. And what you think the promoter is going to do? Have an empty venue? You let niggas in free or charge them again! It’s the dumbest shit ever, yo. But yeah, it’s cap. Never happened.”
A clip from Ja Rule’s Power 106.9’s Jingle Jam concert with Ashanti at Baxter Arena is now hilariously going viral again. Initially uploaded to TikTok on December 11, the moment captures what the rapper’s team does when you play 50 Cent’s hit, “In Da Club.”
“Stop this song,” one of the crew members says into the microphone. “Aye, cut this sh*t off,” another guy added, getting increasingly angry.
The several crew members wander around the stage confused as they try to stop the song, even talking to the on-stage DJ, but it continues playing. Despite Ja Rule’s crew clearly disliking the 50 Cent drop, some of the crowd did — as they can be seen singing along.
The video eventually made its way to 50 Cent himself, as the rapper shared the video on his Instagram.
“LOL, now this is some funny sh*t,” he captioned, complete with laughing and clapping emojis. “I wish I had something to do with it.”
Following 50 Cent’s post, fans on social media are having a field day reacting to the clip.
“Ja Rule out there 20 years later and still getting done in by 50 Cent,” one user tweeted.
The two rappers’ beef was first documented in 1999 after Ja Rule was reportedly robbed by one of 50 Cent’s associates, and the latter responded with a diss track. Over two decades later, the bad blood hasn’t settled down.
Continue scrolling for some additional reactions to the 50 Cent needle drop during Ja Rule’s show.
Ja Rule and 50 Cent will never see eye-to-eye but most would agree that the latter came out the victor in their back-and-forth. However, it seems like Ja Rule will never live down his loss in his battle against Fif.

Case in point — Ja Rule’s performance at in Omaha, Nebraska in December. Power 106.9’s Jingle Jam booked Ja Rule to perform at the Baxter Arena. However, he was quickly reminded of his feud with the “21 Questions” rapper before he was even able to hit the stage.
Footage circulated over the past few days of the DJ playing 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” at the venue. It’s unclear at what point in the show this was but it clearly didn’t sit well with Ja’s team. Shortly after, a member of the rapper’s crew tried to shut things down. “Stop the show right here,” one person said. Another person says afterward, “Aye, cut that shit off!”
Though the footage is a month old, there hasn’t been any statement from Ja Rule about the matter. Chances are, he won’t be speaking about it any time soon. Or perhaps, he wasn’t even aware of what was going on at the time.
50 Cent, on the other hand, didn’t waste any time chiming in. He shared the footage on his Instagram page, revealing that he wished he was responsible for the mishap on stage.
“LOL Now this is some funny shit ! I wish i had something to do with it,” he captioned the post.
The feud between the two parties goes as far back as 1999. Though things died down for a while in the early 2010s, 50 Cent didn’t hold back on dissing Ja Rule whenever the opportunity came up.
We’ll keep you posted if Ja Rule ever ends up responding to 50 Cent.
