50 Cent Dishes on Previous Fat Joe Beef, Drake vs. Kendrick and More

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is buzzing lately. From his acquisition of a huge production studio lot in Luisiana to trolling Rick Ross while in Toronto to his successful Final Lap tour that’s been all over the world. To cap off recent success and reflection, the “In da Cub” rapper turned mogul had a wide ranging cover story interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Curtis Jackson, went in on his past feuds with fellow rappers Fat Joe and even Cam’ron, if you remember that and admitted that beefing wasted too much time, driven by his competitive nature.

“Look, I think we wasted too much time arguing, me and Fat Joe, me and Cam’ron,” said the 49-year-old rapper. “There’s other guys like Jada[kiss], we cleared it up easier. But we wasted time because it was just the competitive nature. It wasn’t like we crossed paths and had real heat for each other.”

50 Cent, further explained that his prolonged feud with Fat Joe, 53, stemmed from their similar personalities. “When we’re at odds, we are at odds, and we did that for a long time,” he stated. “And because of his loyalty to Irv [Gotti] and Ja [Rule] because he worked with them, I was seeing him not be happy from the things that were making me happy.”

The G-Unit films honcho continued, “It’s easy for me to say, ‘F— you,’ if what makes me happy makes you unhappy, then we’re not on the same page and it turns into some s—, and I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly happened.”

Check this, despite their long-standing issues, 50 Cent revealed there was no specific incident that sparked the feud. “Now he’s like my friend, and I don’t care that he has relationships with people that I don’t, because he’s always had those relationships,” he added.

Get this tidbit, 50 Cent also touched on his ongoing feud with Ja Rule, noting that they’ve never spoken. Additionally, he discussed the rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, highlighting the competitive nature of hip-hop. Wait. 50 Cent NEVER SPOKE TO JA RULE BEFORE? HUH? Well, sheesh. Imagine if they had.

“This is hip-hop. I think it’s competitive to a degree, obviously. Even Drake, his position and the attitude and his choices, those are 50 Cent choices. ‘F— it, everybody got to get it then.’ When it becomes Drake versus Kendrick, it’s because it’s the only thing you can put up against Drake’s success,” he said. Makes perfect sense.

He smartly acknowledged the backlash from some that Drake faces is due to his success but dismissed the idea that it would harm Drake’s career. “I don’t see a loss for Drake,” 50 Cent remarked. “The people who bought Drake material are going to buy Drake material when his next song comes out. Now, the shit that I do, it ruins your whole f—ing career.”

Hey 50, you’re probably right about that.

Juice WRLD Producer Sues The Rapper’s Estate Over Unpaid Royalties

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Juice WRLD died under tragic circumstances in 2019. The rapper’s legacy, however, has only gotten stronger in the five years that he’s been gone. There have been three posthumous studio albums put out under his name, which is more than was released when he was alive. One of these albums, however, has sparked a legal battle between producer Joshua Jaramillo and Juice WRLD’s estate. Jaramillo claims he has yet to be paid royalties for the 2021 song “Girl of My Dreams.”

The song was featured on Juice WRLD’s album Fighting Demons, and is notable for featuring BTS star Suga. “Girl of My Dreams” was released as a promotional single, and peaked at 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Joshua Jaramillo is credited as a songwriter on “Girl of My Dreams” alongside Juice WRLD, but the court docs assert that he’s still waiting on payment. Jaramillo claims he worked on the song in exchange for 1% of the royalties and 5% ownership of the rights. He’s reportedly reached out to the the rapper’s estate multiple times to secure payment. He attempted to determine how much money the song has made, but the estate did not provide an answer.

Joshua Jaramillo is now suing the rapper’s estate for unspecified damages. The producer is also demanding he be shown the accounting numbers for “Girl of My Dreams.” The music Juice WRLD’s estate has released since the rapper’s death has been a source of intense debate. Some fans feel the rapper would have preferred to keep unreleased music, well, unreleased. Others are eager to hear what he had in the works prior to his death. Juice WRLD’s estate issued a statement addressing their decision to release posthumous albums in 2021.

“He left behind an astonishingly deep catalog of music,” the statement read. “That will ensure his fans will have new songs to listen to for years to come.” The legal complications brought about by Joshua Jaramillo is not stopping the estate from putting out even more music. Juice WRLD’s sixth album, and fourth posthumous, The Party Never Ends, is slated for release in 2024. The album has been teased since 2021, and is rumored to feature an Eminem collaboration. Juice and Eminem previously appeared on the song “Godzilla.”

Kim Porter’s Friend Denies Rumor Of Posthumous Memoir Exposing Diddy

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has become one of the most reviled figures in popular culture. The Bad Boy mogul has fallen from grace in months, despite being on top of the music industry for decades. Countless insiders have come forward with stories of Diddy assaulting, intimidating, or threatening them. These stories date back to the 1980s. Which is why fans have been fascinated by the possibility of a Kim Porter memoir. The late model had three kids with Diddy over the course of a decade. If anything were to have insight into his mind, it’d be her. Sadly, no such memoir exists.

Eboni Elektra, Porter’s close friend, debunked the memoir rumor on July 31st. The woman took to Instagram to assert that Porter had no plans to publish a book before her death in 2018. “I’m gonna say this as loud as I can,” Elektra wrote. “Kim Porter never drafted nor wrote a book, memoir, or manuscript. Quick lesson: ALLEGEDLY means When something is SAID TO BE TRUE but has not been PROVED.” The woman then took journalists to task for using the word “allegedly” while continuing to use unfounded rumors to draw attention.

Kim Porter Did Not Write A Book Before Her Death

The rumor suggested that Kim Porter detailed her experiences with Diddy, and his alleged abuse behind the scenes. That being said, Elektra made it clear that no such stories would have been shared about the man Porter had three children with. “There is no book,” she asserted yet again. There never was. Several people continue to speak about and spread blatant lies regarding this ‘mystery manuscript’ as if it were true. People…… IT’S NOT. Kim would never do such a thing, and that’s the honest to God truth.”

Eboni Elektra gave a eulogy at Kim Porter’s funeral, according to Sandra Rose. She spoke reverently of her late friend, and the sisterly bond they shared. She also worked alongside Porter as one third of the company Three Brown Girls. The mother of Diddy’s children may not have wanted to share her personal life with the world, but several accounts of the mogul’s behavior has come to light since her death. Kim Porter admitted that Diddy would call her upwards of 60 times a day when the two were separated, and Diddy was dating Jennifer Lopez in the late 1990s. “It was like my life was not my own,” she told Essence. “He was very, very intrusive.”

Blueface Awaits Sentencing Behind Bars After Court Hearing Gets Delayed

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Blueface was scheduled to appear in court to learn his fate. Unfortunately, however, it looks like the “Thotiana” rapper has to wait a bit longer. According to The Shade Room, his court appearance was delayed, and will now take place on August 6. While this isn’t too far away, the news is certainly disappointing for both him and his fans, as he’s been behind bars for several months. Reportedly, he’ll remain at a California jail for the time being.

Blueface first turned himself in back in January for an alleged probation violation and was later hit with a warrant in Vegas. Earlier this month, he was handed a sentence in that case, which saw him accused of another probation violation. He was sentenced to probation for up to three years, with a suspended prison sentence of two to five years. It was previously reported that the presiding judge is recovering from surgery, which is why his latest hearing got pushed back.

Blueface’s Court Hearing Pushed Back To August 6

Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold has been hopeful about her son’s return, even telling TMZ recently that she was already planning a welcome home party. The delay might have thrown a wrench in the Aunt-Tea Podcast host’s plans, though she’ll likely be able to celebrate sooner rather than later.

Amid all of this, the mother of Blueface’s youngest child Chrisean Rock is also incarcerated. At the time of writing, it remains unclear when exactly she’ll be released. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail last month and awaited extradition to Oklahoma, where she has a warrant. What do you think of Blueface’s court hearing getting delayed this week? Are you looking forward to the rapper’s possible release? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

50 Cent Recalls JAY-Z & Roc Nation Trying To Keep Him From Performing At The Super Bowl

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent says JAY-Z’s company, Roc Nation, attempted to keep him from performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2022. He reflected on the historic performance and how it nearly never happened without the help of Eminem during a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“They wanted to leave me out of it. They didn’t want me there,” he remarked, which prompted a request for an explaination. He continued: “Roc Nation. Yeah, they didn’t want me there. Eminem wouldn’t do it without me. That’s how I ended up on the show because he was not coming if I didn’t do it. When that happens, you go, ‘Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.’ But if it was up to them, they would not have me there. I’m the surprise. I’m not on the bill at all. But they couldn’t get Em to do it without me.”

It’s not the first time 50’s brought up the story. On several occasions over the two years since, he’s thanked Eminem for sticking up for him. “50 is like a brother to me,” Eminem told The Hollywood Reporter when asked about their relationship. “50 has proven again and again that there’s really nothing he can’t do, and nobody gets in the way of him getting it done.” Outside of music, 50’s working with Eminem through his G-Unit Film and Television company to produce a series based on the Detroit rapper’s 2002 film, 8 Mile. Check out 50 on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter below.
