Streamer Peacock just released the new trailer for the true crime documentary “TikTok Star Murders,” which 50 Cent executive produced.
The documentary will unpack the relationship between TikTok personality Ali Abulaban and his wife Ana, which, on the surface, seemed great but ultimately took a deadly turn for the worse.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Ali and Ana Abulaban have it all — great jobs, a beautiful young daughter and the promise of stardom. A TikTok creator who gained popularity under the username JinnKid in late 2019, Ali is known for his viral Skyrim and Scarface comedic impressions, often featuring his beautiful wife, Ana. To his fans, Ali is talented, funny, charismatic and has a picture-perfect relationship with the modelesque Ana. They seemingly have it all, but not everything online is as it seems. Under the surface is a relationship falling apart, full of domestic violence, and Ali is filming it — disturbing never-before-seen footage of private fights from his cell phone. Narcissism, addiction and crippling jealousy all play a role in Ali’s desire for control and fame, while Ana seeks independence and a happy life for her and her daughter. The relationship disintegrates, and in October of 2021, the abuse takes a deadly turn that leaves two people dead, and another facing a lifetime behind bars.
The seemingly compelling documentary will employ private, never-before-aired cellphone footage and audio to trace how the couple’s relationship led to murder. The doc includes first-time interviews with the couple’s close friends and family, commentary from reporter Kelsey Christensen, who interviewed Ali upon his arrest, and insights from a clinical forensic psychologist.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is executive producing alongside Zak Weisfeld, Libby Richman, Elizabeth Fisher, and George Plamondon, who will serve as the showrunner.
“TikTok Star Murders” is set to premiere on June 25.
Benny the Butcher is part of a long line of New York rap cliques. Griselda took the music world by storm in the 2020s, thanks in no small part to Benny’s gritty rhymes and intricate wordplay. He helped to spark a movement alongside Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine. Benny is no stranger to the cliques who came before, however. The Buffalo rapper has praised the likes of Dipset and G-Unit in the past, but he felt the need to single out one artist in particular during a recent Instagram Story: Lloyd Banks.
50 Cent was the head honcho of G-Unit, but Benny told fans that Lloyd Banks was the real unsung talent of the outfit. “Lloyd Banks, one of the top n**gas ever,” Benny the Butcher stated. “That’s one rap n**ga that n**gas don’t wanna play with.” The praise didn’t end there. The rapper claimed that Lloyd Banks was unrivaled when it came to “bars” and inventing clever turns of phrase. “He got a million lines,” he added. “You be like, ‘How the f*ck I didn’t think of that.’” The praise makes perfect sense, given that Benny has worked with Banks before. They were two of the rappers featured on the Griselda posse cut “Element of Surprise.” Benny and Banks also linked up for the 2022 single “Living Proof.”
The admiration that Benny the Butcher has for the G-Unit rapper is not one-sided. Lloyd Banks hopped on social media (a rarity) in 2022 to praise the Griselda album WWCD. He posted the artwork and track list for the album, along with the message: “Shout to the griselda family. New Album out now WWCD sh*t is [fire emoji] and the production is incredible.” The rapper has undergone a critical reappraisal in the last few years, partially due to the attention he’s gotten from Griselda. He told Billboard that he was grateful to be in the position he’s in. He then likened himself to former Lox rapper Jadakiss.
“They make these boxes with certain artists like me and Jadakiss,” Banks told the outlet in 2022. “We haven’t been pushed out of them boxes. I don’t know what you want to attribute that to, but I’m grateful we passed the test of time.” The rapper also noted that he’s going to continue to put distance between him and his peers as he gets older and refines his craft. “Moving forward, I feel like my subject matter alone is gonna put me in a different stratosphere,” he asserted. “I care more about my sh*t than anybody else does.” Hard to argue with him or Benny.
Fif took his Diddy trolling on the road, this time in Miami’s Little Havana at a spot called Dead Flamingo Pop Up where “Diddy Roast” was scheduled to take place and 50 Cent pulled up just to see if the Bad Boy himself was in the building.
50 even posed for pics with fans and passed around shots of his Branson Cognac, then took to IG about his Diddy adventure. “Yes, I was in attendance I thought puffy might show up because I saw Tom Brady at his. [shrug emoji] he didn’t come, I had the shooters [camera emoji] get your mind out gutter videographers [eyes emoji] what!”
The Diddy roast was actually a fundraiser for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and although 50 didn’t get on the stage, it featured sets from local Miami comedians Lonnie Cox, Ricky Cruz and Drew Illa.
Some of the jabs sounded like, “Sean Combs got his nickname ‘Puffy’ because that’s how he leaves his girlfriends after every relationship.”
Brittany Brave, the emcee at the event, also spoke about how comedy helped her out of an abusive relationship.
“[The Diddy scandal] is topical right now so it made sense to join the conversation in a productive way,” she said. “Comedy is what pulled me out of an abusive relationship that lasted for three years and it continues to help all of us make sense of life, especially the parts of it that sting.”
50 Cent has been under fire for his callous remarks regarding Power star Michael Rainey Jr. getting groped on a livestream. Following the actor, 23, being sexually assaulted by the streamer’s younger sister during an appearance on TyTy James’ Twitch livestream, 50 had a reaction to the incident in an Instagram post that has since been removed on Monday, June 10. 50 Cent was unsurprisingly dismissive of the incident and said in the deleted post, “Wait sexual assault [frowning face emoji] from a male perspective this was an aggressive advance. LOL HE’s fine no charges are being pressed.” Many social media users have pointed out that 50’s mindset is pretty messed up.
The live-streamed video appears to show the 23-year-old performer getting touched. In a scene where TyTy James’ sister appears to touch the Power Book II: Ghost star in the crotch, Michael Rainey Jr. displays a noticeable discomfort. He commented n the incident yesterday. He said, “I am still in shock and don’t fully know how to process what happened last night. This is an unfortunate situation that I do not condone in any way. I can’t take it lightly because I know I would be in serious trouble if the roles were reversed.” 50 Cent did not take the incident seriously. Even though it was one of the stars of his show who was assaulted.
50 Cent Catches Flack For Not Taking Michael Raney jr Incident Seriously

Michael Rainey Jr said in his statement yesterday, “The fact is, sexual assault is never okay, regardless of gender or status. We’re all human and we should respect each other. Most importantly, we should respect ourselves always.” In addition, TyTy expressed regret to Rainey Jr. for the events during the livestream. Additionally, he said, “My little sister was completely wrong and out of line. What she did was very inappropriate and unacceptable. I am truly embarrassed and disgusted by her actions.” TyTy concluded, “I will take extreme precautions with future streams to avoid similar issues and have banned her from participating in future streams. I do not condone any type of assault.”
With good reason, 50 Cent has come under fire. His cold-hearted comments about Power actor Michael Rainey Jr. being molested on a livestream received swift backlash. Furthermore, he quickly deleted the insensitive post after several hundred comments that started the wave of backlash. Overall, the Michael Rainey Jr. situation was unfortunate, and so was 50 Cent’s response to it.
50 Cent’s breakout hit “In Da Club” isn’t the only song to get the AI remix treatment today. Remakes of faves from Eminem, Tupac, UGK, and more were remade in the style of 1950s doo-wop and rock hits, and are going viral on social media as fans are delighted by the juxtaposition of modern lyrics and songwriting philosophies with sounds that evoke a more wholesome time — at least, in comparison.
After all, rock and roll stars like Chuck Berry and Little Richard were plenty controversial in their day, much the same way Eminem drew fire for his deliberately provocative lyrics. Singers like Sam Cooke tackled divisive sociopolitical topics the same way Tupac did, and it’s important to remember that even Elvis — the original Eminem — were largely considered sex symbols whose work was too racy for the relatively conservative climate of the midcentury, even if they’re considered pretty tame by today’s standards. Check out some of the remakes below.

AI in music has been considered a bit of a hot topic recently, with AI-generated songs drawing both derision and acclaim as the works become more popular. However, there are still plenty of fans and music industry professionals who see a need for legislation to control how and when AI can be used, before it’s too late.
If there are only two buzzy hot topics right now, they’d be AI and country music. 50 Cent has found a way to involve himself with both, posting an AI-generated remix of one of his biggest hits.
“My country album on the way,” he joked in the post, sharing a video of the Pro Tools session for the remix. “Beyoncé ain’t got sh*t on me.”
Yes, that is an AI-generated Conway Twitty singing 50’s breakout smash, “In Da Club.” Is it kind of fire? That probably depends on your personal taste, but … it sure is something.
At least 50’s taking a break from roasting other stars to let himself be the butt of the joke for once. His last big use of AI was to troll his apparent business rival, Diddy, but the creepy AI Tupac didn’t do him any favors. He’s had better luck terrorizing the Bad Boy Records founder with his documentary about Diddy’s misdeeds which was recently picked up by Netflix after a bidding war.
However, everything isn’t all sunny for 50. He was recently sued by his ex Daphne Joy Narvaez, who accused him of similar crimes to those of his enemy Diddy. In response, he countersued for defamation.
Tyler Perry is a great inspiration to 50 Cent since he recently launched the G-Unit Film & Television studio in Shreveport, Louisiana, adding even more to his already massive entertainment empire. 50 Cent was in his hometown on Thursday, June 6, for the Power Book II: Ghost season 4 premiere. In addition, Fiddy and the ensemble attended the commemoration of the original Power show’s tenth anniversary, which began in 2014. 50 Cent recently gave a speech in which he looked back on his career on television and movies and promised much more. In order to steer clear of possible difficulties with his new studio, media magnate Tyler Perry is offering advice, as 50 Cent also disclosed.
“So I talked to Tyler on my way here,” 50 Cent claimed. “Tyler is no joke. He’ll f### you up if you think he ‘Madea.’ He don’t talk to me like that. I don’t know if he’s tougher when I’m he’s talking to me, but it just feels like I can learn some things from him.” He added, ‘So I’ll be out in Atlanta shortly to look at his facility so I can not make some mistakes that I could potentially make.”

In addition, 50 Cent hinted at upcoming projects that he wants Perry to help him advance into the industry’s “premium space.” “There’s so much more to come. I’m standing in front of you; I currently have 34 shows across 10 different networks; you are only aware of four,” he continued. “So my idea that to push diversity, it’s going to work. It’s been working to this point, it’s going to continue to work,” Fiddy continued. “But the idea is to bring in the premium space. I want to see myself in that kind of show. I don’t want to see myself in the cheaper [space].”
After Tyler Perry’s studio, 50 Cent’s G-Unit Studios is purportedly now the second-biggest Black-owned production studio globally. Fans mockingly compared Fiddy to Perry after the release for having followed in his footsteps. Overall, it is probably a savvy move to learn from one of the most successful people in the business, Tyler Perry. All in all, 50 continues to expand and grow his empire in new ways.
In April 2024, Eminem announced he would release his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), in the summer. The announcement sparked excitement among the rapper’s fan base and marked his return four years after his last album, Music to be Murdered By. Eminem released his upcoming album’s lead single, “Houdini,” on May 31. “Houdini” showed Eminem remains the “Rap God” as he stayed true to his style. He stirred controversy with some of his lyrics, including his bars about Tory Lanez’s shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Eminem also showed his creative genius as the song revived Steve Miller’s classic 1982 tune, “Abracadabra.”
“Houdini” took the internet by storm thanks to its catchy hook and lyrics, which brought back memories of Eminem’s Slim Shady era. The “My Name Is” and “Without Me” references are hard to miss. Eminem released the “Houdini” single alongside a music video and featured several celebrities, including Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem’s children. Let’s explore all the celebrity cameos in Em’s latest music video.
The “Houdini” Music Video Plot
Eminem’s alter ego, the Real Slim Shady, is back. The “Houdini” music video shows how the blonde Slim Shady entered a portal in 2002 and found himself in today’s present world. Dr. Dre alerts Eminem about Shady’s presence, and they team up to take him down in true superhero style. However, before they get to Slim, he wreaks havoc across the city in his bid to cancel the present-day Eminem. Eventually, Em, dressed in the Rap Boy costume, meets Shady and engages in a battle. However, there is no victor as both merge to become a hybrid individual.
Eminem “Houdini” Video Celebrity Cameos: Paul Rosenburg
The “Houdini” video begins with Eminem’s longtime friend and manager, Paul Rosenburg, calling to tell him he heard the album and wishing him luck. Paul playfully states, “Hey Em, it’s Paul. I was listening to the album. Good f**king luck, you are on your own.”
Dr. Dre acts as one of the main characters in the “Houdini” video. He is the first to call Em to let him know Slim Shady has entered 2024 via a mysterious portal. He drives Eminem around the city to find the rampaging Slim Shady. At first, Dr. Dre and Eminem have a little fight in the car but get along just fine.
As Eminem’s “Houdini” video progressed to the chorus, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Westside Boogie, and Denaun Porter made cameos. The four rappers lined up in a book panel reacted to the news that Slim Shady was back in the city by singing “Guess Who’s Back.” The chorus offered a fresh version of “Without Me’s” evergreen hook, which Em paid homage to in “Houdini.”
While Dr. Dre and Eminem continue searching for the latter’s younger self, Slim Shady walks into an underground cipher. There, he meets producer and DJ Alan Daniel Maman, popularly known as The Alchemist. However, Slim Shady looks perplexed and disappointed with what he sees in the cipher but eventually steps into a circle.
Slim Shady’s quest for destruction sees him burst through a podcast room where he meets Shane Gillis and Royce da 5’9. Gillis and Royce are engaging in a discussion about who the best MC of all time is. Slim Shady becomes upset with the conversation and disrupts proceedings. He steals a microphone before flipping a table and exiting, leaving Royce and Shane terrified.
Jimmy Iovine

After Eminem and Slim Shady engaged in a battle and fused, they became an unholy hybrid. The monster they create comprises the best and worst versions of Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers. The effect is that Eminem begins to diss his closest friends and family members. Eminem’s longtime friend and Interscope Geffen’s CEO, Jimmy Iovine, is one of the first casualties of the monster. Iovine appears in the “Houdini” video, looking confused and shocked as he listens to Marshall insulting him.
Eminem’s Three Kids Make Appearance In “Houdini” Video
Eminem’s three kids, Hailie, Alaina, and Stevie, were not spared from the onslaught. In the “Houdini” video, the trio was on a video call with their dad, who dissed them by rapping, “F**k my own kids, they are brats/They can screw off.” The rapper’s children reacted to his diss by opening their mouths in shock.
Pete Davidson is the last celebrity to appear in Eminem’s “Houdini” video. Dr. Dre, who had been driving Eminem through the city, gets uncomfortable after the hybrid Marshall insults him and others. Hence, he exits the vehicle, after which Pete shows up. The comedian sports a similar look to the hybrid Eminem. He has the same blonde haircut and wears an all-black ensemble. Pete gets into the yellow Lamborgini and sits in the driver’s seat. He tells Eminem, “Trust me, I’m a great driver. Don’t worry, I just got my license back.” However, that isn’t the case, as the video ends with Em and Pete crashing through other vehicles as they make their way through the city.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson took his advocacy to Capitol Hill on Wednesday. His mission was clear: to push for increased minority representation within the multi-billion dollar liquor industry. Accompanied by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, Jackson engaged with lawmakers to discuss economic opportunities for minority entrepreneurs. Jackson’s initiative also ties into his ongoing legal battle with Suntory Global Spirits. His Capitol Hill visit garnered positive feedback from both sides of the political aisle, giving him hope for future advancements.
50 Cent’s primary aim in visiting Capitol Hill was to address the underrepresentation of minorities in the luxury spirits industry. Jackson, leveraging his success with his liquor brand Sire Spirits, highlighted the need for more inclusive economic opportunities. Joined by Ben Crump, Jackson’s campaign underscores the importance of diversity in an industry significantly supported by minority consumers. Their discussions with lawmakers, including members of the Congressional Black Caucus, centered on creating pathways for minority entrepreneurs to thrive.
Jackson’s meetings on Capitol Hill were marked by a collaborative spirit. He met with leaders from both political parties, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California. Describing these interactions as “great,” Jackson expressed optimism about the support he received. He noted the enthusiastic responses to his advocacy for economic inclusivity. Afterward, 50 stated he believed signals promising prospects for minority representation in the luxury spirits market.
The rapper also shared photos of himself on the ‘Gram meeting various policymakers including Congresswoman Joyce Beatty from Ohio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson, Congresswoman Nikema Williams from Georgia, Congressman Steve Scalise, Congressman Troy Carter (D) and Lauren Boebert. Unfortunately, Fif’s photo op with Boebert led to some backlash. “Wait, wait, guys i took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren what did she do in a dark theater that hasn’t been done, my God ! Hey I don’t have chlamydia by the way. LOL,” he wrote in response to the criticism.
The Broader Implications Of Jackson’s Advocacy

Ben Crump emphasized the wider significance of their mission, stating that it’s about more than just Jackson’s personal business interests. The broader goal is to ensure corporate America recognizes the contributions and potential of Black entrepreneurs. This movement seeks to address the disparity highlighted by a 2022 study from the Independent, which found that while Black Americans constitute 12% of the liquor consumer base, they occupy a mere 2% of executive positions. This stark contrast underscores the need for systemic change in the industry.
Jackson’s Capitol Hill visit also comes amid a legal conflict with Suntory Global Spirits, which he claims has adversely impacted his business. In an Instagram post, he mentioned his intention to discuss with the Congressional Black Caucus the challenges posed by Suntory Global. Although the company has denied any wrongdoing, Jackson’s public advocacy highlights ongoing issues of equity and fair business practices in the industry. This dispute exemplifies the hurdles minority entrepreneurs often face, even after achieving significant success.
The Road Ahead
Jackson’s efforts on Capitol Hill mark a significant step towards addressing inequities in the liquor industry. His initiative, supported by influential figures like Ben Crump and lawmakers across the political spectrum, shines a light on the need for greater minority representation in executive roles. With positive feedback from his meetings and a growing awareness of the disparities within the industry, Jackson remains hopeful for a future where economic opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of race. His campaign not only seeks justice in his personal business dealings but also aims to pave the way for future generations of minority entrepreneurs.
50 Cent has been mercilessly trollingDiddy for months now on social media. All the while, 50 has seemingly been joking about developing a documentary series titled Diddy Do It. Now, according to exclusive reports from outlets such as TMZ, it is clear that this was much more than a simple joke for social media. Apparently, 50 Cent really is producing a Diddy documentary, and Netflix has been tapped as the series’ streaming home. Information regarding Diddy Do It is fairly sparse, as we’re still in the early days of the project’s development. Still, it’s worth diving into the available information and dissecting exactly what 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary will entail. Let’s uncover the facts as they currently stand, and unpack everything we know so far about Diddy Do It.
Diddy has long been considered something of a boogeyman in hip-hop circles. Numerous rappers are seemingly scared to expose the mogul for his alleged wrongdoings. Despite his reputation, 50 Cent has been a public detractor of Diddy for years. This has culminated in 50’s constant trolling of the Bad Boy Records founder ever since Diddy’s legal troubles first began.
In the last year or so, Diddy has been accused of violently assaulting people, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie, as well as participating in numerous drug and sex trafficking crimes. 50 Cent even has a personal stake in Diddy’s operation, as his baby mama Daphne Joy has been accused of serving as Diddy’s sex worker. She has since denied the allegations.
Diddy and the members of his inner circle have not made things easier on themselves either. Last week, a video emerged which appears to show Diddy violently beating, kicking, and dragging Cassie throughout the hallways of a hotel. The LAPD issued a statement explaining that they would not pursue assault charges due to the statute of limitations. Still, Diddy seemingly admitted to his wrongdoing in the footage with a recent apology video. “I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help… Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry,” he said in the video.
The Doc May Need Multiple Installments To Cover All The Details
50 Cent first flooded social media with fake renderings of posters for the Diddy documentary back in December 2023. While posting about the conception of Diddy Do It, 50 joked that he may need to continue adding new episodes as more victims continue to come forward. Diddy’s mounting legal trouble has seen something of a snowball effect in recent months. Multiple lawsuits, accusations, and a federal raid on Diddy’s residences have continued to compound.
Currently, there is no public confirmation of how many episodes Diddy Do It will span. There is a possibility that the Diddy documentary could continue on for multiple seasons. As of now, at least 4 women have accused Diddy of sexual assault, and physical abuse, while others are suing him for failure to honor contractual and financial obligations.
According to an exclusive report from TMZ, Netflix got the rights to 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary after an intense bidding war with other streamers and networks. 50 Cent is producing the film through his production outfit G-Unit Film & Television. He has already vowed to donate a portion of the proceeds to victims of sexual assault. Clearly, the fact that Netflix had to bid against numerous other streamers in order to get a hold of the documentary series proves that this is a hot story that won’t be going away any time soon.
For now, Diddy is in hot water, though he has not yet been convicted of any of the alleged crimes. Only time will tell what’s in store for the Bad Boy Records founder. One thing is definitely for sure, 50 Cent will definitely not let up on his long-time rival, no matter the lengths he must go to continue pushing Diddy’s buttons. The release date and additional information regarding 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary are sure to come in the following weeks as this story continues to develop.
what did she do in a dark theater that hasn’t been done, my God ! Hey I don’t have chlamydia by the way. LOL,” he wrote in
