50 Cent Says He “Shouldn’t Talk To” Rappers With Low Record Sales

by

Between rap fans debating the merits of their favorite artists and rappers themselves flexing their accomplishments, sales are a big deal in the genre. Despite some strong debuts early in the year from artists like Lil Durk and Young Thug, almost half of 2023 went by without a single rap album selling enough copies to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Since then, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, and Travis Scott have all released their new project and delivered on increasingly massive first-week sales.

Now, somebody who is no stranger to selling lots of copies is chiming in. A newly released video of 50 Cent seemingly behind the scenes at one of his shows on The Final Lap Tour this year sees him sharing some feelings about rappers who don’t exactly do numbers. He says that he “shouldn’t talk to” any rapper who can only sell 31k copies. That sparked plenty of debate among fans both in regards to who he was actually talking about and whether he still has the right to make that kind of talk in the first place. Check out the full clip and fan reactions below.

50 Cent Doesn’t Want To Hear From Rappers With Low Numbers

Some fans speculate that 50 may be talking about a recent album whose sales numbers were lower than expected. “Damn.. ross & meek fell off . HARD!!” the top comment on the post reads. Two rap titans Meek Mill and Rick Ross recently teamed up for a collaborative album, the kind of thing that you’d expect to sell tons. But the album only ended up doing 35k sales in its first week adding up to a relatively modest total.

Elsewhere in the comments fans debate how many copies 50 himself would sell with a new album in 2023. “Ain’t no way 50 cent selling 31k these days,” another one of the top comments reads. What do you think of 50 Cent’s observations about rappers who only sell 30k copies? Let us know in the comment section below.

Khia Serves Stunning Look For “Body” Music Video Following Sexyy Red Feud

by

Behind-the-scenes shots from the filming of her new “Body” music video shows Khia rocking a stunning look. Khia wrapped herself in a low-cut, figure-hugging feathery dress and matching hat. Fans were tripping over themselves to complete the artist on the stunning look. “Body” is set to be Khia’s first single in five years. Her last release was 2018’s “Kash Only”. Of course, Khia is something of a one-hit wonder. Her most successful track was 2002’s “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)”. Furthermore, it appears that this is Khia’s response to her recent beef with Sexyy Red.

At the end of October, she spoke out on what she saw as unfavorable comparisons to the likes of Red and Sukihana. “It’s respect me, it’s snatch the motherf*ckin’ cat back. It’s don’t trust no motherf-ckin’ n-gga get your own sh-t. It ain’t eat no n-gga’s a– and suck no n-gga’s toes,” Khia said. She doubled down. “Your a– is being charged with not being ashamed of your God damn self. Doing h-e sh-t then being mad about it. Being a deadbeat mama, a deadbeat daddy, a deadbeat daughter, and a deadbeat Young Thug lookalike.” Additionally, she also took some low shots about Red’s sexual history and her current pregnancy.

Sexyy Red Claps Back At Khia

Of course, Khia serving “Body” comes after Red fired back in her own unique way. “Khia will get dem ol bones dragged in real life but she don’t got enough money to b in the same room as me,” Red said. Furthermore, the St. Louis rapper also called Khia a “hater”, “miserable”, and “jealous” of Red’s success.

However, not everyone is hating on Red. Both Nicki Minaj and Drake showed love for Red ahead of the release of the deluxe of Hood Hottest Princess. Minaj wrote “SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” in response to the announcement. Meanwhile, Champagne Papi, who has formed a close friendship with Red this year, also liked the post. Furthermore, Red teased that the deluxe was going to be loaded with features.

The Eras premiere also saw the two biggest stars on the planet, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, hanging out. Making for a cute moment, the two sat in the first row at a movie theater and posed for a picture. Beyoncé would playfully toss popcorn to the camera.

“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without Beyoncé’s influence,” Swfit wrote on Instagram. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms.

Beyoncé, the music sensation, is bringing her epic world tour to the big screen at AMC Theatres!

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is set to make a cinematic splash, and fans are in for a treat. Reports suggest that the music icon is finalizing a deal to bring her globally acclaimed tour to the silver screen through none other than AMC Theatres. The news was first reported by Variety.

What has the BeyHive buzzing is the behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé’s mind-blowing Renaissance tour performances. On her birthday, Queen Bey issued a unique request to her fans: dress in chrome-shimmering silver. The invitation was accepted, and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers transformed into a “shimmering human disco ball.”

The tour itself stands as a testament to Beyoncé’s unmatched prowess, ranking as her highest-grossing journey to date. Hollywood’s top agency, CAA, is managing the negotiations, and there’s fierce competition to collaborate with the superstar.

The cherry on top is the rumored incorporation of visuals from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. While she teased music video-style content when the album dropped, the full visuals remained under wraps.

Securing tickets for the Renaissance World Tour was no easy feat, given the overwhelming demand. Now, it’s turning into a must-see movie. Insiders are hinting that the movie could hit theaters around December 1.

There’s also speculation that the movie might be a secret project Beyoncé worked on with director Nadia Lee Cohen. Cohen has previously directed Beyoncé’s music videos for “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up.”

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, which promises to be a cinematic celebration of Beyoncé’s artistry and mastery of live performance.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest news about the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour movie, so be sure to check back soon!
