March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent went after Diddy while performing in Phoenix, Arizona on March 3 at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre. The concert was a rescheduled show from his Final Lap Tour. His joke about Diddy arose while 50 was trolling the audience for their reaction to him bailing on his last show in the city when it was 115 degrees.

“I don’t know how y’all live out this motherf*cker, it was 115 degrees the last time I got here. Some of y’all cussed me out,” he said. “Called me all kind of names online.” From there, he added: “I love you, why don’t you love me back? Where is the love?! Hold on, hold on. We don’t want too much love. You know what happened to Brother Love. Let’s keep it down, not too much love.”

50 has already confirmed that he intends to release a documentary about the allegations against Diddy with the proceeds going to victims of sexual assault. The latest of the claims against Diddy came from Rodney Jones, who says he sexually assaulted and harassed him. The producer accuses Diddy of “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping,” among numerous other specific instances of misconduct. Check out 50’s latest opportunity to make fun of the Bad Boy mogul below.

Busta Rhymes Reflects On 50 Cent’s Work Ethic During “Final Lap” Tour: “He Don’t Play”

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Busta Rhymes says that 50 Cent’s the Final Lap tour was “the most incredible tour” he’s ever been on. He performed alongside the New York rapper for over 100 shows across the globe during the second half of 2023. The tour was in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of 50’s iconic album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Busta discussed the experience with Big Boy for an interview, earlier this week.

“Big up to 50 Cent for bringin’ us out there on his Final Lap tour,” he said. “Not only was that probably the most incredible tour that I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on many. I’m saying that because every night, every arena was sold out. I’ve never been on a tour for five months. […] My last show was November 21. He’s still on that same tour. 50…that’s one thing. He don’t play with that work.”

Busta is far from the first person to speak on 50’s work ethic. Tony Yayo, who also performed on the Final Lap tour, recently spoke about how draining it was during an interview with VladTV. “I’m tired, we just did six shows back to back,” Yayo said. “50’s running on the stages, lifting cranes, switching seven outfits, he goes to the gym twice a day. 50’s not f*cking around.” Check out Busta’s comments on 50 below.

Tony Yayo Praises Eminem & Takes Issue With Dr. Umar’s Criticism

January 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Yayo says Eminem is one of the five best rappers of all time. He shared the praise while discussing Dr. Umar’s recent criticism of the legendary artist during an interview with VladTV. Umar had argued to Joe Budden that Em can’t be considered an all-time great because he’s white.

“I don’t agree with that,” Yayo began. “I f*ck with Dr. Umar but I don’t have to agree with everything he says. I don’t agree with that. Eminem in my top 5 of MCs. And that’s not because I’m down with him and not because you got the “Free Yayo” shirt on. It don’t have nothing to do with that. I was an Eminem fan once I heard ‘Renegade.’ That was it for me. Once I heard him rhyme against Jay.”

Yayo then argues that Eminem out-rapped JAY-Z on the song. “I’ma say Em, for me,” he said before adding, “Em always hold his own but then when I seen Em with 50, do songs with 50, and was hearing how he was coming. When I heard the footsteps for ‘Many Men.’ He got that from Poltergeist or something. Eminem is like– Nobody wanna battle that n***a.” From there, he discussed 50 Cent bringing Eminem out on tour in Detroit, last year. He put Eminem in a group with Drake, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg as artists who can draw massive crowds. Check out the full interview with VladTV below.

January 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tony Yayo says that 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour was a “movie” he made “six figures” as a support act for the run of concerts. Speaking with VladTV, the G-Unit rapper explained how lucrative the tour was as well as his plans for getting into podcasting. The topic began with Yayo discussing his decision not to sell merch on the tour despite 50 making millions in that lane alone.

“His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon,” he said. “You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you, ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’” From there, he explained: “I don’t ask for too much. I’m making six figures, so why would I bother you for more? It’s cool. I’m not worried about that. Trust me, I’m making a great check […] The money is great, the money is excellent.”

Tony Yayo Reveals He Made Six Figures Touring With 50 Cent: ‘I Don’t Ask For Too Much’

January 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you had the chance to see 50 Cent on his Final Lap Tour, then you know how epic the show was. Not only did 50 play his biggest hits from his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, but he also brought his G-Unit family.

Insert Tony Yayo, who was right by 50’s side during the entire tour, which stopped in over 70 cities and over 20 countries. 50 was on the road for the latter half of last year, touring between July and December.

Most recently, Tony Yayo sat down with Vlad TV to discuss exactly how great his experience touring with 50 was — especially regarding the finances. The “So Seductive” rapper revealed he made 6 figures… not too bad for a supporting act!

Tony Yayo speaks on 50’s greatness: “His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon. You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you: ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’”

And while Tony didn’t have his merchandise to sell on the tour, he’s incredibly grateful for the profits he made by simply performing.

“I don’t ask for too much,” Tony states. “I’m making six figures, so why would I bother you for more? It’s cool. I’m not worried about that. Trust me, I’m making a great check. The money is great, the money is excellent.”

Tony also goes on to praise 50 for how well he took care of everyone.

“You gotta understand, lot of artists don’t get treated [well],” Tony continues. “People think that Fif is a bad guy, but when you’re staying in the Four Seasons, you got the Eiffel Tower there, you staying at the W in Bahrain sipping Ranis on the water. “There’s an F1 race track around the hotel. You just missed Giorgio Armani at breakfast. It’s a fucking movie! Working with 50 is a fucking movie, bro!”

December 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has officially opened a G-Unit Films and Television studio in Louisiana after the city council in Shreveport approved his lease of Millennium Studio.

50 Cent’s Aerial Stunts On Tour Has Social Media Going Wild

November 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Social media is in an uproar of a recently surfaced video from 50 Cent’s tour. In the clip, originally posted to TikTok, Fif emerges to the crowd from a large futuristic tower. Furthermore, Fif is suspended from the highest point of the tower by a stage harness. From afar, it’s an impressive feat. However, when you zoom in, it’s a little less awe-inspiring, given how Fif is just strapped into a harness and is dangling in mid-air. This has led to a deluge of reactions online.

However, most of the comments online responding to the clip were those of mockery. A number of people compared Fif to Spongebob after his Twisted Sister-inspired rock number at the end of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie from 2004. Meanwhile, several others compared him, unfavorably, to Madonna and her own iconic wire work. Fif recently put Madonna on blast over her alleged BBL. Additionally, a number of people questioned the need for aerial work at all. “Fif not got any songs that call for this” was a common sentiment amongst respondents.

50 Cent Feuds With Dwight Howard

Meanwhile, Fif recently picked up a feud with Dwight Howard. “@dangerookipawaa [Top Dawg’s Instagram handle] gonna say you made eye contact with Dwight Howard,” 50 Cent’s post’s caption read. “Man me and Denzel thought that motherf-cker was alright man. WTF.” However, Howard actually responded to Fif’s jabs in the comments section of his post. “Glad I put a smile on your face,” he added with a laughing emoji.

Furthermore, Fif also went after Keefe D, the man currently facing trial for the murder of 2Pac. “Keefe D getting ready to go on trial for murder with a public defender. Damn throw a a bone or something. LOL,” 50 added. It’s believed that this comments were primarily aimed at Diddy, who Fif has previously taken aim at for being somewhat complicit in 2Pac’s death.

It’s been so long.” She added: “First of all, I was just happy because there’s so many bangers that I feel that everybody just forgets about. There’s like the club songs but then there’s so many that you’re like ‘Holy shit.’ Bop after bop after bop.”

From there, she praised the show’s “level of production” before adding, “And also dad came out and I don’t know why… that’s just how I have to say it, ‘dad came out.’” When Eminem arrived on stage, he joined 50 in performing their Get Rich or Die Tryin’ collaboration, “Patiently Waiting,” as well as their Relapse hit, “Crack a Bottle.” “Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends that I’ve ever known, 50 Cent!” Eminem told the crowd. “And also, make some noise for Hip Hop’s 50th birthday, y’all … Detroit, I love y’all, man.”
