50 Cent Claims That Drake Is “Loaded” With More Kendrick Lamar Diss Tracks

by

The battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has long been decided at this point. However, 50 Cent is claiming that he’s got some inside information that not many others have. The New York legend and TV star was Big Boy Radio‘s most recent guest, and his interview has been creating a lot of discourse online today. The G-Unit rapper and the panel got to business on his tense relationships with Jay-Z and Diddy. However, we now know that things have never been that deep between them (or so he says). The man loves to troll, so it’s a little hard to take what he says at face value. However, we are going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Additionally, he was asked about J. Cole backing out of the beef between Drake and Lamar. That’s something he has come to accept; however, he still thinks the North Carolina MC should have stayed on the battlefield. That topic sparked some other angles of the beef, including a hilarious segment in which Fif read off Drake’s “opp list.” Music critic Anthony Fantano (theneedledrop), livestreamers, and podcasters are some that landed on it.

Fans Feel 50 Cent Is Hurting Drake Rather Than Helping Him

Things got a little more serious though during this portion of the chat, though. At one point, 50 called out Drake for his pre-action petitions against UMG for being hypocritical. “Everything he (Drake) says they (UMG) did for Kendrick, is something they did for him.” However, at one point, he seemed to sort of back The Boy in a way by saying he’s got ammunition locked and loaded for Lamar. That’s at least what some fans took from his comments.

“Drake was loaded & ready to go again. There’s no way you stop… and you’re losing. Nah, I gotta fix this,” he told Big Boy. 50 hasn’t helped drakes case once yet😂😂😂😂 he honestly making s*** worse,” one fan writes. “Out of all of them, he thought The Heart Part 6 was the best? He might have saved his career by not releasing them😭” another jokes. He may not have been hyping up him, but rather just letting people know that he was stashed up know the hits that Lamar was dishing out. Obviously, though, too much time has passed, and too many poor decisions have been made now to justify releasing anything else now.

50 Cent Was Immensely Disappointed In J. Cole For Backing Out Of The Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

At this point, it seems like it’s going to take quite a while for hip-hop fully move on from J. Cole’s decision. Of course, we are referring to him coming to the conclusion that it was time to back out of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. With the current aftermath that we are now witnessing, it’s clear that Cole’s decision is paying dividends for him personally. Still, a lot of folks were quite disappointed by the North Carolina MC’s choice as many wanted to see him drop some hot bars. Obviously, he’s got the chops to do it an extremely high level. However, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it for a number of reasons.

Overall, there the camp that’s on the side of the 2014 Forest Hills Drive creator has grown immensely since. They have come to the realization that Cole doesn’t want to lose his industry friends over some rap battle. However, like we said at the beginning, it’s still been a hard pill to swallow for some, including 50 Cent. The 2000s hitmaker made a recent appearance on Big Boy Radio for an hour plus interview to discuss a whole plethora of topics.

50 Cent Wanted To See J. Cole Compete

His history with Jay-Z and Diddy as become a major talking point today in the headlines but so has the discourse around J. Cole. While he’s come around to it with time passing by, there’s a part of it that still irks him a little. Big Boy posed to Fif if he could understand the relationship that Cole had/has with Drake and Kendrick. He does, but “because he’s one of the top guys” and there’s a competitive nature about hip-hop, he wanted to see him compete.

“That’s how we gonna find out who really got it,” 50 argued. “I understand the relationship. But I don’t understand why the competitive part in the form, if y’all are brothers like that, then why wouldn’t you compete? Why wouldn’t you understand we are just competing?” Overall, he feels the raw energy is key to the genre and that Cole sort of ducked it in a way.

Big Boy Thinks “Something Was Done” To Keep Lil Wayne From Halftime Show

by

Kendrick Lamar has really been at the center of rap controversy in 2024. He was the consensus winner of the Drake battle, and now he’s set to perform at the Superbowl Halftime Show in 2025. It makes a lot of sense, frankly. Lamar is bigger than ever, having just scored the most significant single of his career. That hasn’t stop the rest of the rap community from criticizing his selection, though. Many have come out and stated that Lil Wayne should have been picked, given that his hometown of New Orleans is the location of the next Super Bowl. Big Boy is one of them.

The legendary radio host sat down with TMZ to discuss the controversial snubbing. Big Boy did not mince words when it came to his thoughts on the matter. He felt Lil Wayne should have been chosen to represent New Orleans. Furthermore, he thinks there’s some fishy things going on behind the scenes. He didn’t mention anybody by name, but JAY-Z and Roc Nation were ultimately the ones who made the final decision. “Something was done there,” Big Boy asserted. “I feel like there’s some people, getting back to the Super Bowl, saying, ‘There’s something there. There’s a reason why.’ And I don’t think people are so far off.”

Big Boy Wanted To See Young Money Reunite

The radio host also told TMZ that dismissed the notion that Lil Wayne is not relevant enough to play the Halftime Show. He pointed to Wayne’s legacy, his catalog, and the fact that he still appears on popular songs today. Furthermore, Wayne would have been able to call upon Young Money proteges like Drake and Nicki Minaj to make special appearances. “You don’t have to dig Wayne up,” Big Boy stated. “You don’t have to say, ‘Hey, remember Lil Wayne? Like, we need to get someone from New Orleans.’” The radio legend proceeded to dub Weezy the definitive New Orleans artist. “He’s that guy,” Big Boy said. “Young Money was that group.”

Big Boy’s sentiments have been shared by other big names like Master P and Cam’ron. The decision to go with Lamar, however, has fueled speculation that JAY-Z is less friendly with the Young Money camp than the public initially thought. By choosing Lamar, JAY-Z has slighted both Lil Wayne and Drake, who will undoubtedly be a focus of Lamar’s Super Bowl performance. It may have been inadvertent, but the fans have seen JAY-Z wield his power to throw digs at other artists. It’s not proven, but it’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility.

Kanye West & Big Boy Interview: 5 Biggest Takeaways

by

Following the release of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new album, Vultures 1, the pair have been immersed in the promotional circuit for the album including a comprehensive and extensive conversation with Big Boy. They discussed topics ranging from their collaborative album to insights on the music industry, recent controversies and beyond. The interview between the Vultures 1 duo and the esteemed radio host lasted over an hour. Here are five of the biggest takeaways from the conversation.

“Issues With Jesus”

Kanye West has previously openly embraced Christianity including in a previous interview with Big Boy. This has been evident in his music for decades. However, following the release of Vultures 1, Ye expressed conflicting sentiments. He mentioned having “issues with Jesus,” and asserted that the act of prayer is a significant source of contention for him.

“You know, I have my issues with Jesus. There’s a lot of stuff I went through that I prayed and I ain’t see Jesus show up… We’re so in this mentality that that’s all that needs to happen but we ain’t praying our way out of prison; we ain’t praying our way out the abortion clinics. We ain’t praying our way to get our land back that was always ours after gentrification after the Harlem Renaissance and Black Wall Street was burned to the ground. Them prayers ain’t working.”

Industry Blackball

During his interview with Big Boy, Kanye brought up one of his most controversial moments — the 2009 VMAs. Ye took this moment to speak about the challenges he and Ty faced while creating this new album. Specifically, he mentioned reaching out to a select few individuals to inquire whether Universal Music Group was intentionally hindering the chart success of his music because of the incident. He shared his belief there has since been a conspiracy to stunt his commercial growth. 

“When it went number one, I called up some people I know like ‘You think Universal was capping my albums ever since the Taylor Swift moment?’” he said. “‘And no one could deny that was happening. Just limit him. Turn it down, turn that boy down.’” Kanye also listed some of his most iconic records, expressing to Big Boy that their moderate success was quite a shock.  “‘All Of The Lights’ is like number 28. ‘All Of The Lights?’ ‘Runaway,’ you know, ‘N***as in Paris’ was not a number one record.”

Alleged Threats On Ye’s Life

Kanye West has been embroiled in several controversies over the years that have become worse in recent times. The rapper has also received backlash from both the Black and Jewish communities. This scrutiny arises from various actions and behaviors, including his endorsement of former president Donald Trump and instances of antisemitic sentiments. Ye disclosed that he has been subjected to numerous threats and expressed surprise at his continued survival. “My life has been threatened,” he stated. “I wake up every day just surprised to be alive because of how many threats I’ve received. From political to Twitter commentary, to all that.”

Ty Prevents Vultures 1 From Getting The Donda Treatment

Speaking of making headlines for various controversies, Ye also lost several friends. Ty Dolla Sign, however, has long since stood by him. He spoke up and explained that despite everything that was going on with Ye, he didn’t hesitate to collaborate with him on Vultures 1. He also asserted his belief that Ye would regain public favor in due time. 

More surprisingly, though, was Ty Dolla $ign’s ability to push back against some of Ye’s suggestions. During the conversation, Ye revealed that he attempted to make Vultures 1 entirely clean, similar to Donda. However, Ty Dolla $ign shut down that idea quickly.

Pioneering Two Decades Of Music

In one clip that undoubtedly shook up the internet, Ye told Big Boy that he invented every genre of music in the past 20 years. “I invented every style of music of the past 20 years, I created the genre, I created The Weeknd genre, Trav, Drake… Everybody,” he declared. “I’m gonna go ahead and say, with all love, Future and Thug also. Because the autotune album, 808s, if you think about it. Everybody think about Trav, Weeknd, and Drake, but no one thinks about Future and Thug also. Autotune album. Now everyone, they added what it was to it. But here’s a new genre. It’s called the ‘making your own money’ genre.” The claim ultimately had people talking including Boosie Badazz.

What’s Next?

The Vultures 1 duo revealed that the album was the first of a trilogy collaboration between Ye and Ty Dolla Sign. Vultures 2 is set to be released in May, and Vultures 3 will follow sometime this year. Ty also hinted that the upcoming albums will have a different sound. Moreover, he encouraged fellow artists to be original with their work. 

“That’s what the goal is for Vultures 2 and Vultures 3, always elevating,” Ty said. “Like if you ask me the question- what I think about music, I feel like I don’t wanna diss anybody, but at the same time, you n***as gotta get better. People always copy the next shit… Like 10 songs are the same thing of each different type of beat.”
