50 Cent and Young Buck have been at odds for years now. Back in 2014, they each signed a G-Unit contract, which Fif accuses the Nashville rapper of failing to uphold. This has resulted in a lengthy legal battle, and it appears as though the mogul is still not over it, based on one of his latest social media posts.
Yesterday, he took to Instagram to share a clip from Young Buck’s appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast. In the clip, Young Buck explains that 50 Cent helped pay his taxes when he was going through bankruptcy, even though he eventually had to pay all of it back. His comments didn’t sit right with 50, who felt as though he came off as ungrateful.
“Some how he still managed to be ungrateful, I helped him with his taxes,” he captioned the post. “We didn’t have a problem till he didn’t know how to accept he’s gay. Got caught with a Tranny and got mad at me. Smh boy I didn’t know you mess with boy’s WTF should’ve signed to Bad Boy.” His post comes after Young Buck alleged that he never received a $250K advance loan he accuses 50 Cent of promising him. “G-Unit would have this court accept that no bank records, business records, or tax filings exist to substantiate these payments,” his legal filing reads.
Young Buck is far from the only person 50 Cent has grievances with. Earlier this week, for example, he opened up about Jay-Z allegedly trying to block him from performing at Super Bowl LVI on It Is What It Is. “Our culture’s competitive. It is,” he explained. “I think when it goes past the music itself to the blocking things in business, then I don’t understand that. Right now, he’s not even competing for a slot. He don’t have a new song out that he wants to be on the top 10 or top 5. And you still competing? That don’t make sense. What we competing for?“
Recently, Rapsody appeared to call out DJ Akademiks during a freestyle over Kendrick Lamar’s “tv off” on Sway. “Feel like a Greek how I be stepping on these b****h n***as, Akademik / Affidavits, entertainment n***as who got open cases / Women charges, they say you violated,” she rapped. Of course, the internet personality didn’t waste any time before addressing the apparent jabs on stream. In a clip, he questions whether or not she’s aware of what kind of legal issues the owner of her record label Roc Nation has allegedly dealt with in the past.
“I do want to ask you this one question Rapsody,” he begins. “You signed to Roc Nation. I hope you go up there to the office. Do you ever do that? […] This is where my rap battle, where my diss song is gonna be at with you. When you talk about people with open cases, you know how many open cases your mans got? That run the label that you on? Do you know how many cases got settled that we didn’t hear about but I know about, even though the NDA is strong?”
DJ Akademiks Reacts To Rapsody Seemingly Dissing Him In Freestyle
Dj Akademiks responds Rapsody dissing him saying he’s got open cases . Ak says she should go to her label rocnation and ask her boss jay z about NDA’s and open cases pic.twitter.com/arEcN8Yp5r
“You’re gonna look like a f*cking hypocrite,” Akademiks continued. “You’re on Roc Nation, and all y’all n****s in the 90s was all doing dirty d*ck diddler sh*t. You ain’t signed to Jesus baby girl, you signed to Jay-Z. Let’s keep that fact up there because I’m always down to talk.” At the time of writing, Rapsody has yet to respond. It also remains unclear when exactly fans can expect to hear Akademiks’ diss track.
This is far from the first time DJ Akademiks has been called out as of late, however. Earlier this month, social media users noticed that Kendrick Lamar landed a top spot in his Spotify Wrapped. “Normally Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t sniff my spotify wrapped.. but he’s #2 on mine,” he tweeted at the time. “The explanation for that is thats what happens when u beef with every1 favorite rapper.. we gotta listen to ur s**t too cuz of the beef. Beefing when its just musical competition helps both artists.”
Cardi B’s spending habits have the subject of much debate. The rapper claims she spends $3 million per month, which shocked everyone who wasn’t a billionaire. She also claimed that she got an offer to go on tour for $65 million. She’s not hurting for money, even though it’s been years since Cardi B gave fans an album. Cardi B’s flexing has garnered the attention of her former producer, however. SwiftOnDemand reached out to the rapper via Instagram, and derided her for failing to boost his career. She did not take kindly to being blamed.
SwiftOnDemand shared an article about Cardi B’s spending and detailed his disappointment. “When I see stuff like this,” he wrote. “All I can remember is you saying ‘Swift don’t worry I got you.’” He went on to allege that Cardi got upset with him after he reminded her to not “forget” about him. Well, he thinks he was forgotten. Cardi B, on the other hand, doesn’t think its her problem. She chastised SwiftOnDemand for believing everything he reads online. She also stated that she has three kids to take care of, and that her family is her number one priority.
That was the short of it. Cardi posted a lengthy written response. She explained that she has little to no control over the music she made with SwiftOnDemand. “I told you millions of times I got no control over on the mixtapes that you worked on,” the rapper stated. “Because it’s under our old manager label, not Atlantic.” Cardi B also took SwiftOnDemand to task for counting her money instead of focusing on new music and making his own. “A grown a*s man counting my pockets,” she added. “I got three kids and I take care of my family… I don’t owe you nothing!.”
SwiftOnDemand responded back with a bulleted list. He addressed each of Cardi B’s claims, noting that he has three kids of his own. The producer also claimed that he isn’t worried about the mixtape royalties, he wanted the credibility that came with working with someone as big as Cardi. He also cast doubt on Cardi’s ability to write and produce songs alone. SwiftOnDemand questioned how she was able to do it all by herself, since she has not felt the need to help him out in return.
One lyric has caused a whirlwind of hot takes and vitriol on social media. Kendrick Lamar demanded that comedians need to stop talking down on Black women. He didn’t specify which comedians, but Andrew Schulz, and the rest of the internet, seemed to think it was about him. He responded accordingly. Schulz mocked Lamar’s size and claimed that he could sexually assault the rapper if he so chose. The hip hop world did not respond kindly. O’Shea Jackson, Jr. insulted Schulz on Twitter, and the latter has decided to respond.
Jackson, Jr., the son of legendary rapper Ice Cube, dubbed Andrew Schulz a “weirdo.” He also tweeted that he used to be a fan of the comedian’s work. He felt that Schulz comments about assaulting another Black man went too far. Schulz, being the provocateur that he is, clapped back. He combatted his words about Lamar with the words used by Ice Cube on the iconic diss, “No Vaseline.” Schulz replied to O’Shea Jackson, Jr.’s tweet by urging fans: “Google ‘No Vaseline’ by Ice Cube.” The diss is among the most vile and aggressive in all of hip hop. There are multiple allusions to sodomy amongst Ice Cube’s former crew and the target of said diss, N.W.A.
It appears as though Andrew Schulz is once again playing the hypocrisy card. By referencing Cube’s most aggressive track, he’s suggesting O’Shea Jackson, Jr. should not be offended by his jokes about Kendrick Lamar. “No Vaseline” was also accused by some, at the time of its release, due to the threats and anti-semitic remarks made against N.W.A. manager Jerry Heller in the lyrics. “With your manager, fella,” Cube raps. “F*ckin’ MC Ren, Dr. Dre, and Yella. It’s a case of divide and conquer, ’cause you let a Jew break up my crew.”
Andrew Schulz has been quick to reply to anyone who has taken umbrage with his Kendrick Lamar comments. Meek Mill took to social media to criticize Schulz’s sexual assault comments, claiming the comedian was being offensive. “White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme,” he wrote. “And then say it’s just a joke.” Schulz responded with a screenshot in which Meek Mill laughed at a joke Schulz made about his sexuality. “You seemed to like it,” he noted.
Kendrick Lamar’s GNX has been at the center of attention since its release on November 22nd, and it hasn’t been all positive, partially due to the strays that a few individuals caught, including comedian Andrew Schulz. In the post “Not Like Us” summer, Kendrick Lamar emerged victorious against his feud with Drake and left fans on the edge of their seats for his next body of work. Some felt it would likely arrive before the Super Bowl, but no one expected it to drop so soon.
“wacced out murals,” the album’s intro, sets the tone while Kendrick gets a few things off his chest. He takes a shot or two at Drake, namedrops Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg, and airs out his grievances surrounding white comedians who make disparaging remarks towards Black women. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick raps on the song. The one line in particular caused a storm online and eventually, earned a response from Schulz, who assumed that bar was targeting him. Below, we’ll be breaking down the controversy at large and the escalating feud between Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz.
U.K.-based podcast hosts James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of Shxtsngigs appeared on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast in the fall when they engaged in a discussion surrounding the “Black girlfriend effect.” Duncan and Dawodu argued that Black women “glow up the other culture” in mixed relationships. “All of a sudden, they have a line-up, clean shape up. He glows up, bro,” Duncan said. However, Schulz said that it was actually a “protective instinct.”
“They shave their hair because they start losing it, because he’s so stressed to be around this Black girl complaining about sh*t all the f*cking time. That’s why they shave their head,” Schulz said. “They grow a beard because there’s more cushion when they get slapped the f*ck out of.” The comments earned some widespread backlash from both Schulz and the Shxtsngigs podcast hosts who eventually offered an apology. However, Schulz doubled down on the “edgy” humor without offering an apology to those offended by the misogynoir commentary.
“wacced out murals”
In the third verse of the GNX intro, Kendrick Lamar seemingly references the situation, though without mentioning names, it’s really an “if the shoe fits” type of situation, especially since Gary Owen responded to the song. In “wacced out murals,” Kendrick raps, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law/ I know propaganda work for them, and fuck whoever that’s close to them/ The n***as that’s coon, the n***as that being goons, slide on both of them.”
Many assumed Kendrick Lamar targeted Andrew Schulz since the ShxtsNGigs controversy happened a few months prior. And while Kendrick Lamar’s bar could definitely apply to Andrew Schulz, the subsequent bars indicate that the issue is figures like Duncan and Dawodu who let the joke slide unchecked.
The Initial Response
Andrew Schulz reacts to Kendrick Lamar seemingly dissing him on his new album ‘GNX’
Shortly after the album dropped, social media dissected every angle of the album. However, Akademiks eventually highlighted this particular bar in a live-stream, revealing that he contacted Schulz who felt as though Kendrick was speaking about him. “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Schulz allegedly told Akademiks who relayed the message to his audience.
During the latest episode, Schulz offered an official response where he deemed Kendrick Lamar hypocritical and a clout-chaser for dissing comedians. “Nobody has respected women more through art than rappers,” he said sarcastically. “So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, ‘Yo, y’all need to switch that sh*t up. How dare y’all keep saying your wives are annoying. Be more like us and… b*tches ain’t nothing but hoes and tricks. I beat my b*tch with a stick, what?’”
Schulz continued to group all rappers together, claiming that hip-hop’s long history of misogyny makes Kendrick look like a hypocrite. Moreover, he brought up Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming comedy movie with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, who themselves have a history of creating edgy and offensive material.
Afterward, Andrew Schulz’s co-host, Akaash Singh, brought up the number of accused abusers that Kendrick has collaborated with over the years, including Kodak Black and Dr. Dre. He also cited the Spotify controversy a few years ago when Kendrick Lamar threatened to remove his music from the streaming platform in response to the Hate Content & Hateful Conduct Policy that removed XXXTENTACION and R. Kelly’s music from editorial and algorithmic playlists.
Schulz’s Sexual Assault Joke Fails To Land
Comedian Andrew Schulz jokes that he would make love to Kendrick Lamar against his will
“I don’t think he can stop most people on the planet from having sex with him…”
In the same episode, Schulz told his co-hosts that he would “make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not.” “I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar. I would make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not,” Schulz began.
“That’s the only thing he could do. If it’s me and Kendrick, it’s about physics,” he continued. “I don’t even know if I’ll get hard. But, if we’re in a cell, and we’re bored and we’re done tattooing each other–whatever you do in a cell, and we ran out of board games and we did all the other things, and we cleaned everything, and I’m like, ‘Man, I might as well f*ck you.’ There’s nothing he can physically do to stop that. I’d put his legs in the air and choose a position.”
Schulz Faces Backlash
Andrew Schulz “joking” about raping Kendrick Lamar was a white mans way of putting a Black man in his place for defending Black women. It was sadistic and a remnant of slavery. Evil sack of shit
While Kendrick Lamar hasn’t responded to Andrew Schulz yet, the comedian has felt the wrath of the hip-hop community at large, though the internet at large has been divided. Schulz has faced plenty of condemnation from people like TDE Punch, Meek Mill (who he later responded to), Peter Rosenberg, and many others. However, DJ Akademiks pointed out the contradiction in the public’s response, citing the viral moment when Saucy Santana threatened to rape him following a volley of insults between the two. Some agreed with Ak, and others felt it wasn’t similar at all.
At this point, it seems like Schulz might be dragging this more than it needs to be, especially since Kendrick intended to make a point of defending Black women, resulting in threats of sexual violence against him. Despite his issues with that initial line, Schulz agrees that GNX is still a good album. We’ll keep you posted on anymore developments surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz’s feud.
When Matty Healy defended Charli XCX against Azealia Banks’ criticisms last month, he probably did not expect he’d be dealing with Banks’ ire to this day. Moreover, he recently apologized for his mean comments towards the rapper. “What a bad day, I really let myself down,” The 1975’s frontman expressed on Reddit. “I have worked so hard to move past these impulsive self-destructive and honestly quite volatile outbursts I have.
“I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent. Azealia and all obvious, flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility,” Matt Healy wrote of Azealia Banks. “She’s a human. This cultural discourse has become so violent in general. I don’t wanna act like I regret who I am or who have been. But Tbh at this point I feel gross even having said anything negative ever about anything — if it’s contributed to this culture.” Well, it seems like Banks didn’t really appreciate this apology that much. She took to Twitter on Friday (December 6) to call out her issues with it and with the artist as a whole.
Azealia Banks Does Not Accept Matty Healy’s Apology
“I just feel dreadful about how I acted violent — I think Azealia and all obvious, flawed people all deep down have a heart and I hate that I have contributed to her mental fragility
1. Calling me flawed – again I’ve never met this man nor do I know him in real life. What flaws…
“Once again, he is totally focused on letting himself down and apologizing to himself, instead of apologizing for letting me down and hurting me,” Azealia Banks said of Matty Healy. “Whoever his PR agent is needs to be fired because this entire statement includes yet another count of defamation, another count of intentionally inflicted emotional distress, and three more admissions of guilt. Matt really isn’t the clear provacatuer [sic] he thinks he is. But seriously, fire this pr agent. Because you’ve literally just handed this to me.
“1. Calling me flawed – again I’ve never met this man nor do I know him in real life,” Azealia Banks continued. “What flaws exactly,? 2. Contributed to her mental fragility – an obvious and condescending insult put in. To frame this story into one where the responsibilities for HIS actions are shared with me. Nice try. This is hinging on very stereotypical and racist rhetoric that categorizes a black woman as a naturally flawed, mentally unstable, erratic danger to herself – and any natural and response to disrespect – be deemed a symptom of some sort of inherent inability to discern. This is some trashy bell curve coded s**t and I have no clue why this man is in such a racist manner. Intent on utilizing played out social tropes to make a non case. He apologized to his fans before apologizing to me. This is demoralizing.”
Recently, Tokyo Toni decided to give back in honor of the holiday season. In a clip, she could be seen feeding those in need from the back of her car, though her good deed has since resulted in a great deal of drama. Tokyo’s daughter Blac Chyna has a child with Rob Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian’s brother. Under Khloe’s Thanksgiving post about a family dinner, some social media users compared her plans to Tokyo’s, prompting her to set the record straight.
“@linicar_ and I am not knocking what anyone else chooses to show or keep to themselves. But personally, when people fall on hard times — I don’t feel it’s right to publicize that for my own personal pat on the back,” she wrote in part. Tokyo quickly made it clear that she did not appreciate this comment in the slightest. She even reminded everyone about Khloe’s scenes with a homeless man on Keeping Up With The Kardashians back in 2007.
“Let’s not forget again that time you brought the old, the homeless man to your house girl. Was that a movement? But it sounds like you said you don’t do that. You put him on TV too,” she said. Tokyo didn’t stop there, however. She went on to bring up some paperwork concerning her niece Dream.
“Dear Khloé, I’m the one that gave my daughter the papers that your mother tried to swipe our grandchild out of everything she could ever own. I’m the one who did it. Let’s tell that paper,” she said. Tokyo even urged Khloe to do a food drive and listed some different dishes she could serve to those in need. “Get outside and do something sis. Imma save you this time, I’m not even going to let it go any further than this,” she concluded.
Meek Mill’s music has not exactly been lighting up the world. The Philadelphia rapper’s personal life has become more of a talking point than his music. His association with Diddy has led many to question what he knows about the disgraced mogul. Then there are his tweets, in which he tackles everything from the recent election to the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. Meek Mill decided to chime in on the recent beef between Lamar and another opponent, comedian Andrew Schulz.
Andrew Schulz responded to an alleged diss from Kendrick Lamar’s album with some aggressive jokes. He claimed that he could easily overpower Lamar by sexually assaulting him if he so chose. He also said that Lamar was a hypocrite for defending Black women while working with controversial abusers like R. Kelly and Kodak Black. Meek Mill was not a fan of these jokes. “White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme,” the rapper explained. “And then say it’s just a joke. Black manhood not a joke!” Meek Mill is familiar with Schulz’s comedy material.
Andrew Schulz Previously Targeted Meek Mill’s Sexuality
White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme … and then say it’s just a joke .., black manhood not a joke! I seen the same guys saying I was gay on his stand up! My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all!!
He was actually targeted by Schulz due to his connection with Diddy. Which is something he addressed in his tweet. “I seen the same guys saying I was gay on his stand up,” Meek Mill added. “My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all.” Meek may be critical of Schulz and his propensity for joking about Black celebrities. That said, the rapper took a much lighter approach to the jokes made at his expense in March.
“The first time I laughed at being gay,” the rapper tweeted. “But don’t wit me in real life I may swing lol.” Meek Mill joins a long list of rappers and hip hop figures who have dissed Andrew Schulz for his K. Dot remarks. TDE President Punch was confused as to where the humor was in Schulz’s joke. “Did my guy say he want to sleep with Dot??,” he asked. Peter Rosenberg, meanwhile, ridiculed the comic for talking about topics he knows nothing about. “Acting like K Dot is 2 live crew,” the Hot 97 host noted. “[It] shows Schulz doesn’t actually like or understand hip hop…”
Kendrick Lamar is riding high right now. The rapper’s album, GNX has received glowing reviews from fans and critics. He currently occupies seven of the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100. “Squabble Up” is the rapper’s third number one single of 2024, and and fifth overall. He’s currently gearing up for a new tour with SZA, Grand National, which is slated to cover most of the major cities in North America. Lamar decided to add some new tour dates, however, and the locations turned a few heads.
Kendrick Lamar added two new dates to his upcoming Grand National tour. One of these dates is in L.A., which makes complete sense. GNX is the most California-centric release of Lamar’s career, so it would only be fair to give hometown fans another chance to see him. The other date, however will be in Drake’s hometown of Toronto. We do not need to rehash the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar feud, as it has dominated most hip hop conversations this year. It’s also helped to fuel two of Lamar’s aforementioned number one singles.
Lamar and SZA were originally slated to perform in Toronto on June 12 only. The duo will now put on an encore performance June 13. As fans have been quick to point out, these dates are right before Father’s Day, which has been interpreted as another dig against Drake’s allegedly bad parenting. There’s little to support this theory. That said, the locations of these additional dates do feel intentional. Kendrick Lamar is nothing if not purposeful with his actions. It’s hard to imagine he added dates to his hometown and his rival’s hometown without realizing it would come off as a subtle flex.
Kendrick Lamar and Drake may no longer be dissing each other, but the feud is very much still alive. The latter has decided to sue his and Lamar’s label, UMG, for allegedly using bots to boost Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” He believes the label is in cahoots with Spotify to downplay his music and promote Lamar’s. K. Dot has not commented on these allegations. He has, however, continued to put up massive numbers with his new album.
It looks like yet another feud is heating up for Puerto Rican trap and reggaetón star Anuel AA, as Bayamón, Puerto Rico’s own Farruko dropped a diss track against him titled “San Miguel.” For those unaware, it seems like their feud really popped off when the latter named Eladio Carrión as his favorite boricua trap artist, which seemed to rub Anuel the wrong way. AA is no stranger to battles and conflicts within the reggaetón and wider Latin music scene, whether that’s with Bad Bunny, his ex girlfriend KAROL G, or many other artists within Puerto Rico and Latin America as a whole.
Basically, Farruko challenges Anuel AA to prove his supposedly fake street status and respond with artistic merit, not with social media antics. Will that actually happen? Probably not, but depending on how far “San Miguel” goes, we might see a response track. It’s certainly a contrast to Anuel’s other beefs, such as his volatile clash with 6ix9ine, that were more Twitter fingers than (lyrical) trigger fingers. Still, this new diss track is more of a warning shot than anything, and if it progresses, we could definitely enter into much uglier territory. Hopefully it doesn’t escalate too far.
Regardless, Anuel AA has other strong controversies to contend with that don’t relate to his beefs with Farruko or other Puerto Rican reggaetón stars. For example, his public support of Donald Trump resulted in a lot of backlash from the boricua community and from Latin America as a whole. Of course, Anuel probably doesn’t care very much since Trump won the election and he pretty much thrives off of scandals and negative engagement just as much as he enjoys the praise and support of his rabid fanbase.
Elsewhere, some fans are calling Farruko out for his turn to Christianity, which this Anuel AA diss track seems to contradict. But given just how many beefs the latter has, others don’t mind seeing him go toe to toe with yet another opponent. We’ll see what comes of “San Miguel” and how else this feud could evolve, especially considering everything that’s already on Anuel’s plate beef-wise.
boy I didn’t know you mess with boy’s WTF should’ve signed to Bad Boy.” His post comes after Young Buck alleged that he never received a $250K advance loan he accuses 50 Cent of promising him. “G-Unit would have this court accept that no bank records, business records, or tax filings exist to substantiate these payments,” his legal filing reads.

LOS ANGELES — May 24th
