The trolling between 50 Cent and Teairra Mari has dissipated since the last time they were at war on social media, but that doesn’t mean the Power mogul is finished with their legal battle. Years ago, Teairra took Fif to court over revenge porn allegations involving her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad, and instead, she found herself hit with a judgment. A judge decided in 2019 that the singer should be held responsible for 50 Cent’s legal fees to the tune of $30K, but she took to the internet to jokingly share that she didn’t have the money. 

50 Cent has previously threatened to go after any and every check that Teairra Mari would receive, and Radar Online reports that court documents show the singer still hasn’t made good on her debt. So, Fif has reignited their court feud.

According to reported court documents, Teairra owes the Rap mogul $37,733, a total that includes an additional $4,492 because Teairra was “sanctioned in the case” as well as $2,597.80 in interest. Radar Online stated that Fif filed new documents about the debt including a writ of execution. It seems that 50 Cent is hoping that soon, Teairra’s assets can be seized in order to pay off the debt. He has continuously petitioned to gain access to Teairra Mari’s financial records.

Meanwhile, the singer has been making appearances on social media and it looks as if she’s enjoying her new romance. She’s been subtly posting about her good life and 50 Cent wants his cash. Check out Teairra boasting about her new man below.

YFN Lucci has been dealing with a heavy amount of legal trouble since the beginning of the year. A warrant was issued for the rapper’s arrest earlier this year after he was charged in connection to a murder in Atlanta. The rapper later turned himself in to authorities before posting bond. He’s remained out of the public eye since as there were strict conditions with his release. Unfortunately, further legal issues came down on him which has now resulted in the rapper returning to jail.

Earlier this month, it was reported that YFN Lucci was named alongside 12 others in a 105-count gang and racketeering indictment connected to the Bloods gang in Georgia. The rapper has since surrendered himself to police and is currently behind bars at Fulton County Jail in Georgia where he’s reportedly being held in the maximum-security area, per WSB TV.

Following news of the indictment, Lucci’s attorney Drew Findling declared his client’s innocence. “He’s not a gang member. What he is is an internationally recognized musical artist that is a triple platinum winner, that has performed all over the United States and all over the world,” said Findling in a statement at the time.

No public statement has been issued on YFN Lucci’s behalf since the news broke. We will keep you posted on any more available updates on the case.

All of the hype over these new music releases has Bow Wow in the mood to drop a record. The rapper has been actively pursuing his career since he was just a small kid tearing up the Hip Hop charts, but in recent years, he’s made more waves on the reality television circuit than in the music scene. With executive producer credits under his belt and a desire to revamp BET as a mover and shaker with a corner office, music isn’t the only thing on Bow Wow’s mind at the moment. 

Still, Bow has promised that new music is coming and at the top of the year, the rapper expressed that he was working on his final album titled Before 30. Now, Bow has given an update.

A fan wanted to know how long they had to wait before the next record was released—if there was one coming at all. “Yes working on album. Im thinking summer fall. We locked in. No distractions,” the rapper answered. Another person said that they hope they would receive “Bow Wow Wanted 2.0,” referencing his 2005 album Wanted. 

“You cant compare my previous albums to this. 34 now 2 kids,” said Bow. “So much pain and confusion I’ve gone through this content is next level and DARK. Its my 1st RAP ALBUM. I been dying to make it but i was a youngn then.” Are you checking for a new Bow wow record? With his recent public co-sign from Drake, fans are expecting Drizzy to make an appearance.

The Nicki Minaj hiatus is over and fans are ready. The singer was one of few artists to dominate over the weekend after her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty hit DSPs. Her new track “Seeing Green” with Drake and Lil Wayne caused a ruckus, and now Nicki has taken to Instagram to reflect on some of her past choices that could have sent her life path in an entirely different direction.

In a post-and-delete move, the rapper shared a photo of her mugshot from a 2003 arrest. “It took me years to b able to look at things like this,” wrote Minaj.

“Criminal possession of a weapon with intent to use. I did use it tho. This is so inspiring now looking back,” she added. “The girl was leaking blood and spent days in the hospital. The word on the street was that I was gonna b deported. I was so scared. Lol. I was ‘on the run’. I rlly thought I was in a ghetto movie. I hid my car and went to stay wit my Aunt in Brooklyn chile. Bwahahaaaaa. #Growth.”

She ended her message by plugging the release of Beam Me Up Scotty. Fans couldn’t help but note that Coi Leray also shared her mugshot as well, and after the singer tweeted that she was interested in Nicki jumping on a “No More Parties” remix, the conspiracy theorists believe it’s all connected.

Lil Baby is the hottest rapper in the game right now. Whether you like his music or not, he’s risen to the top of the music industry as one of the most successful artists in the game. He has platinum plaques, and Grammy nods to his name while fans continue to eat up whatever he drops off for them.

It should come as no surprise that he was among the artist tapped for the upcoming Space Jam flick. The Lebron James-starring sequel to the 1996 sports comedy is expected to drop next summer but Elliott Wilson took to Instagram and Twitter today where he unveiled the cover art for the first single off of the OST. “WE WIN” is an unexpected collaboration between the current prince of trap music and the king of gospel, Kirk Franklin. Who would’ve expected it? Wilson did not offer any other information on the song including a release date. However, it seems more than promising that it’ll be dropping in the near future.

Space Jam: A New Legacy will not only have high expectations for its execution as a film but the soundtrack as well. The 1996 Space Jam OST — now 6x platinum — includes contributions from Seal, R. Kelly, Coolio, Biz Markie, Jay-Z, and of course, the monstrous posse cut, “Hit ‘Em High” ft. B-Real, Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, Coolio, and Method Man. 

Check out the cover art for the song below.
