by

It’s looking to be a massive 2023 for 50 Cent. His “green light gang” continues o dominate the television arena, but fans have asked the mogul when he will return to music. Fif teased that in 2023, the world will receive new tunes, and while speaking with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, he revealed a few plans he has for the future.

“I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” said Fif. Big Boy questioned if Em was aware of his idea. 50 Cent confirmed he’s already spoken with the Detroit icon about the series.

The surprise announcement caused a firestorm of questions. “We in motion,” Fif added. “It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100.

50 Cent also said, “I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

Recently, TMZ caught up with 8 Mile star Mekhi Phifer and asked if there would ever be a sequel to the 2002 film. Phifer thwarted any hopes.

“Sometimes it’s just best to leave it alone. Once you make it a classic, no reason to fool around with it.” He further stated, “It could be interesting, but I wouldn’t be in it, and I’m sure Eminem wouldn’t be in it either.”

Elsewhere in Big Boy’s interview with 50 Cent, he detailed what fans can expect in 2023. According to Fif, as soon as he revealed his plans for new music, the phone calls poured in.

“I got a text from Em that he had already spoke to [Dr. Dre] and he got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” Fif said. “This is my process. I’ll go make something, the best music I can get my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have some. Always has.”

“He’ll be playing it, it’s his song on the record. He’ll be like, ‘Take that off here. This gon’ be good. Watch.’”

50 Cent Confirmed An ‘8 Mile’ Series About Eminem’s Life And Legacy Is Underway And It’s ‘Gonna Be Big’

by

As his breakout television shows BMF starring and Power Book II: Ghost return for new seasons this month, rapper 50 Cent stopped by REAL 92.3 FM’s show Big Boy’s Neighborhood to discuss each show (which he serves as an executive producer) on and more. As he chatted with host Big Boy, 50 revealed that he would be adding yet another television series to his lengthy production resume.

As the pair talked about 50’s relationship with fellow rapper Eminem and their performance at Super Bowl LVI in 2022, 50 declared a television series version of Eminem’s biopic 8 Mile was underway.

“I wanna bring… I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” 50 said. The mogul confirmed that his dear friend was aware of his plans before continuing, “We in motion. It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds.” This news served as a surprise to the host as just days ago actor Mekhi Phifer shot down the idea of a sequel as the film’s anniversary approached.

When asked about the potential for a remake of the film, Phifer replied, “Sometimes it’s just best to leave it alone. Once you make it a classic, no reason to fool around with it,” he said. Phifer ended with, “It could be interesting, but I wouldn’t be in it, and I’m sure Eminem wouldn’t be in it either.”

But 50 Cent creatively disagrees telling Big Boy, “I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

50 Cent Wants To ‘Remind People I’m Nice’ With New Music In 2023

Queens, New York rapper-turned-mogul 50 Cent is probably better known for producing the juggernaut Power universe for Starz and trolling his fellow celebrities than his music nowadays, but it looks like he wants to reverse that trend this year. While congratulating friend and mentor Eminem on reaching five billion views on YouTube, 50 promised to share new music in 2023. Posting a headline about Eminem’s success on Instagram, 50 captioned the photo, “That’s my boy. Im gonna remind people i’m nice this year. New Music New Tv New movie let’s go!”

Even a couple of decades removed from the peak of his rap chart dominance, 50 has apparently maintained plenty of popularity, despite putting “nothing out in a while,” according to another post he shared. This one, apparently a screenshot from Twitter (so take it with a grain of salt), put 50 on a list of rappers with the most YouTube views for 2022, among names like Eminem, Doja Cat, Drake, Lil Baby, Lil Nas X, and Juice WRLD. The top comment, from Snoop Dogg, reads, “Nice. Staying relevant.”

Truthfully, it’d probably be nicer if he maintained that relevance through new music releases rather than bullying women in the music business. He trolled Lil Kim, Madonna, and Megan Thee Stallion last year about everything from plastic surgery to getting shot in the foot. Let’s hope his new year resolutions included being a nicer person in addition to getting back to rap — but don’t be surprised if he reneges on either after turning down a $1 million record deal from Universal (and failing to follow through on repeated threats to take the Power shows elsewhere).

50 Cent Celebrates 1 Billion YouTube Views

50 Cent is an icon living. The Queens legend hasn’t released a full album since 2014’s Animal Ambition, but fans are still checking for  his classic hits.

50 took to social media on Sunday (January 1) to celebrate making the list of rappers with the most YouTube views in 2022. “I didn’t put nothing out in a while,” he wrote. “I would be mad if I was new and I wasn’t on the list.” 50 Cent made it to number 10 on the list with 1.8 billion views, just above Lil Durk with 1.6 billion views.

Eminem came in at no. 1 on the list with a whopping  5.1 billion YouTube views in 2022. 50 gave Em his flowers in a separate Instagram post. “That’s my boy,” he wrote. In the same post, the Power creator revealed his plans to drop new music in 2023. “I’m gonna remind people I’m nice this year. New music. [and] TV. Let’s go!”

50’s post comes on the heels of his legal battle with Medical Spa owner Angela Kogan heating up. The 47-year old star is suing Kogan for allegedly suggesting that he had penis implants. Kogan stated in recent documents that 50 should be suing The Shade Room instead of her. The Spa owner’s lawyers submitted documents stated that the website posted the photo of Kogan and 50 together alongside an article about penis enlargement surgery.

“The Shade Room is the author of the Article,” Kogan’s lawyers stated. “[They] pulled the Photo from Kogan’s social media without Kogan’s permission or consent. The Shade Room is the publisher of the Article, and Plaintiff has improperly applied the actions of The Shade Room to Defendant.” 50 has yet to respond to the claims. The case is set to head to trial in July 2023.

Plastic Surgeon In 50 Cent Penis Enhancement Case Says He Should Be Suing The Shade Room Instead

The legal battle between 50 Cent and Medical Spa owner Angela Kogan is still heating up. The Queens native continues to deny receiving a penis enhancement.

A new update in the case indicates that part of the surgeon’s defence states that 50 should really be suing The Shade Room.

This all began when the “In Da Club” rapper sued Kogan back in September. The 47-year-old claims that the owner of Medical Spa made false claims about him receiving a penis enlargement procedure.

Furthermore, Kogan claims that the Power producer posed for a photo with her in exchange for services at the spa. However, 50 alleges that this doesn’t include anything to do with penis enlargement. He’s suing her for invasion of privacy, false endorsement, unauthorized misappropriation, false advertising, conversion and unjust enrichment.

In November, he even took to his Instagram account to maintain his side of the story. “yeah my d_ck is a BIG DEAL set for trial in july no enhancement necessary, these fools put them selves out of business,” he writes in the caption.

Evidently, neither Fif or Kogan are backing down. In October, she requested that the case be dismissed. Now, the business owner is saying the 47-year-old shouldn’t even be suing her in the first place.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, however, Kogan’s attorneys submitted the affirmative defenses on Thursday (December 30). They argue that the “In Da Club” rapper should be going after The Shade Room instead. The website allegedly posted the photo of Kogan and Fif together, accompanied by an article about penis enlargement surgery.

“The Shade Room is the author of the Article, and pulled the Photo from Kogan’s social media without Kogan’s permission or consent. The Shade Room is the publisher of the Article, and Plaintiff has improperly applied the actions of The Shade Room to Defendant,” says the surgeon’s lawyers in a statement.

If a settlement isn’t reached, the case is still set to head to trial in July 2023.

50 Cent Expendables

A recent episode of Hip Hop Homicides might land 50 Cent in hot water. The episode explores the murder of FBG Duck who was killed in his hometown of Chicago in August of 2020.

The episode featured the names of people who were allegedly linked to the murder including OTF rapper Memo600. Memo apparently saw the episode and took to Twitter to call out 50 Cent and threatened to sue him for attaching him to the murder, despite not being arrested.

“@50Cent I’M SUING YOU FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER,” he wrote. “I DONT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT SOMEBODY BETTER EXPLAIN SOMETHING U PAID THE WRONG INVESTIGATORS DONT PUT ME IN NO MURDERS FAM CHASING CLOUT!!”

Hip Hop Homicides is the latest show to be produced by 50 Cent, and Van Lathan serves as the host of the show. The show explores the epidemic of violence in the hip-hop community, and how different factors ultimately led to the rise in violence and death in the hip-hop community.

The suspects in the murder of FBG Duck were arrested in October 2021. A trial date has been set for October 2, 2023.

Every series 50 Cent touches seemingly turns to gold. But the star has been threatened with legal action thanks to his new WE Tv series Hip Hop Homicides.

The men responsible for Duck’s murder were apprehended and charged with murder in October 2021. However, Memo wasn’t one of them. FBG Duck died after being shot in the chest, groin and neck.  A trial date for his murder has been set for October 2, 2023.

50 Cent has yet to respond to the legal threats. The Power creator has been gearing up for new seasons of his hit STARZ shows, BMF and Power Book II: Ghost. 50 recently used the arrest of BMF star Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr. to promote season two of the highly anticipated hit series. “What the fvck,” the hip hop heavyweight wrote. “LIL Meech didn’t hear them say cut. BMF returns Jan 6 Black mafia Fridays.”

Meech Jr. was arrested in Florida last week after a gun was found in his luggage. He was released hours later after posting a $2,500 bond. BMF returns Jan 6 on Starz. As for Memo, he deleted his post threatening to sue 50.

50 Cent’s latest television project, Hip Hop Homicides, focuses on the killings of some of the biggest names in the game who met violent fates, such as fallen Chicago rapper FBG Duck. The show’s content has created backlash from people mentioned in the FBG episode, including OTF rapper Memo600. 

The latest episode of HHH delves into Ducks August 2020 murder, which points out those allegedly involved in the rapper’s murder; Christopher “C Thang” Thomas, Marcus “Muwop” Smart, Tacarlos “Los” Offerd, Kenneth “Kenny Mac” Roberson, and Charles “C Murda” Liggins. Memo600 was also named as a suspect in Duck’s murder, in which Memo had some choice words for Mr. Jackson.

Memo600 said, “@50Cent I’M SUING YOU FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.” The rapper also reiterated he wasn’t involved in Duck’s death, saying, “I DONT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT SOMEBODY BETTER EXPLAIN SOMETHING U PAID THE WRONG INVESTIGATORS DONT PUT ME IN NO MURDERS FAM CHASING CLOUT!!”

The tweet from Memo has since been deleted.

Deb Antney Recalls 50 Cent’s Advice About Bad Business In Music Industry

by

Deb Antney opened up about her time in the music industry during a recent conversation on My Expert Opinion. During the latest episode of the podcast, she detailed her relationship with Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj, and others but she also divulged advice she received from 50 Cent.

Deb Antney explained how she helped salvage Asylum Records but she also wasn’t bending over backward to help them out. She said that she also wouldn’t allow Gucci Mane and other artists to ink certain contracts. However, she said that two executives told her that she would be the “new Mona Scott.”

“50 said, ‘Aunty, don’t listen to them.’ And he said ‘come here’ — and that’s the first time I seen Power. All the stuff that he was doing. This was years he was in the works of gettin’ this shit together,” she said. “And I seen that and we was just talking and he was telling me, don’t listen to them and they full of shit… He used to drop a lot of jewels on me and tell me stuff but he was in the office that day when they was telling me that. That’s what did everything. I bucked on them. Like, I wasn’t a person that they could control. They couldn’t tell me what to do. They couldn’t tell me to flip on you.’”

During the episode, Antney also discussed the state of women in hip-hop. As the former manager of Nicki Minaj, she praised the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper’s grind to get to where she is. And while she also showed love to Cardi for embracing the new generation of rappers, she expressed slight disappointment that both New York artists never worked together.

“I hated—I really thought Nicki and Cardi was really gonna lock into each other. They’re two different people. I wanted that so bad. I wanted that bad to see them two get into each other,” she said.
