Charlamagne Tha God’s 50 Cent Praise Not Swaying Despite Rick Ross Criticism

by

Charlamagne Tha God has been sharing his opinions with the world for decades now, which is why he’s so comfortable standing in his integrity, even amid criticism from some of the biggest names in the industry. As we witness what appears to be the downfall of Diddy in real-time, The Breakfast Club host has enjoyed watching 50 Cent’s constant reaction posts land on social media, even labelling the Power producer a “diabolical genius” for how he’s handled the situation so far. While many would agree with Tha God, Rick Ross feels that the media personality is being a “d**k rider,” which he addressed during an episode of his New York radio show earlier this month.

“I stand by what I said. 50 Cent is absolutely a diabolical genius,” the 45-year-old told listeners. “If you look up the word diabolical and the definition of diabolical genius, then you know that is exactly what 50 Cent is. [Diabolical means] very evil but often intelligent. But most Cancers are that. We’re very sweet, very loving and we care about our people, but we do hate as hard as we love. So leave us alone,” Charlamagne continued, speaking on his and Fif’s shared zodiac sign.

50 Cent Still Has Charlamagne Gassing Him Up

Rather than throwing shade back at the “Not For Nothing” artist, Tha God went on to praise him too. “Now I will say too, Rick Ross is a mastermind as well. He’s a master marketer. And you know why? Because every video he posts, he’s promoting something. So even in that video, he’s promoting Belaire. And 50 does that too, by the way. Because if you gon’ go viral, add some value to it. So I respect both those brothers. They all have different levels of genius. And I wish everybody could just play nice. That’s what I wish,” Charlamagne poignantly reflected.

50 Cent is showing no signs of slowing down on trolling Diddy as more lawsuits against the music mogul roll out. Instead, he’s now adding Rick Ross into the mix, using some of the Biggest Boss’ lyrics to break down what’s going on with his contemporary at the moment.

Before releasing their joint album Too Good To Be True, Rick Ross and Meek Mill pulled up on Zane Lowe at Apple Music 1 to discuss the album. Rick Ross called the album unpredictable.

“This the culture,” Ross said. “It’s too good to be true and man, it just feel good, and it was too easy. We set it off. We both know what our true gifts are, our talents are when it comes to production. So when it came to this vibe, it was really simple. It didn’t take a lot of time, but we brought the best out of each other. This was just personal.”

He added, “This was just me and Meek and that was just us in the studio. It wasn’t a lot of people, just the team, the private team. Meek, his team, my team, Sam Sneak, Brion, the producers, and we kept it uncut. We went straight to the vein with it. “

Meek Mill also added notes on the album, “When we get in the studio, that shitt gets serious. Ross getting into serious mode. He trying to knock that shit out and get to work. And you know me, he giving me that gas.

“I’m going to run jumping out that window a hundred miles an hour. But we joke all the time. You’re going to see a lot of that throughout the content and all that. And it’s organic too, Zane. We came up with this idea and we got around each other, built, vibed out and then got in the studio. It don’t matter where we’re recording at, we could be in the closet, Rose going to get this shit done.”

You can hear the project’s lead single, “Shaq & Kobe” below.

50 Cent Compares Rick Ross to Diddy by Recalling Drugging Lyric in “U.O.E.N.O”

50 Cent Eyes Revolt Purchase After Diddy Stepped Down as CEO

50 Cent and Rick Ross are back at it again. Their ever-existing beef escalated after 50 joked on Ross and Meek Mill’s joint album sales. Rozay responded, which now receives an answer of 50, comparing The Biggest Boss to Diddy.

50 posted Ross’ controversial lyrics from his feature on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.,” which Rozay rapped about drugging a woman. 50 connected Ross’ bars to recent drugging and rape accusations levied against Diddy. He then posted an image of the two together. You can see the post below.

Previously, 50 said in a video, “If you sell 31,009 CDs, I shouldn’t talk to you,” referencing the album sales. Ross made a more pointed statement.

“Got a DM say, ‘Rozay, we believe 50 Cent just made a comment about you online,’” Ross said. “I said, ‘Y’all don’t know 50 Cent like I do. He wouldn’t do that.’ For one, his bitch Dreamchasers. She been a Dreamchasers bitch for many years, still is. That’s when she told me I was her favorite.”

Why Are 50 Cent And Rick Ross Beefing? (2023 Edition)

by

50 Cent and Rick Ross are at it again. Although we’re about a decade removed from the height of the two rappers’ rivalry, it looks like the feud is heating up again.

So, why do they dislike each other so much?

That answer could keep us here all day, so let’s just stick to the latest round of offenses.

50 Cent Trolls Rick Ross’ Sales

Most recently, 50 — who legitimately never lets go of anything — trolled Ross for the allegedly low sales of Too Good To Be True, his new joint album with Meek Mill. In a video on Instagram, 50 enjoys his tour as it heads to Australia, but makes sure to take a moment for spite: “If you sell 31,009 CDs,” he says. “I shouldn’t talk to you.”

Setting aside that 31,000 is pretty respectable in the streaming era (and that 50 hasn’t dropped an album since streaming became the main avenue for music consumption), as well as the fact that the album only had about two weeks of promotion, it doesn’t seem 50 wanted to pass up the chance to get at one of his rivals.

Rick Ross Claps Back At 50 Cent

Ross later posted his own video responding to 50’s low sales accusations. “Just got a DM saying, ‘Rozay, we believe 50 Cent just made a comment about you online,’” he said. “I seen it and I said, ‘Y’all don’t know 50 Cent like I do. He wouldn’t do that.’ For one, his b*tch Dreamchasers. She been a Dreamchasers b*tch for many years, still is. That’s when she told me I was her favorite.”

“For two, n****, we been rich,” he said. “We still getting money. Them n****s was laughing at my first-week sales. Them n***as was doing a million and I did 150, 180 and they was laughing but…You smell that saltwater, right? Don’t let them n****s trick you.”

Now, that’s not the most enlightened take for 2023 (the casual sexism just doesn’t work these days). But he certainly isn’t backing down.

50 Cent and Rick Ross are going to fight forever. In response to 50 Cent’s troll over Rozay and Meek Mill’s Too Good to be True album sales, Ross stated he isn’t who 50 wants to target.

50 said in a video, “If you sell 31,009 CDs, I shouldn’t talk to you,” referencing the album sales. Ross made a more pointed statement.

“Got a DM say, ‘Rozay, we believe 50 Cent just made a comment about you online,’” Ross said. “I said, ‘Y’all don’t know 50 Cent like I do. He wouldn’t do that.’ For one, his bitch Dreamchasers. She been a Dreamchasers bitch for many years, still is. That’s when she told me I was her favorite.”

Meek Mill Claims He Makes $1 Million Per Song And $62K Per Bar, Fans Are Skeptic

by

In a recent Instagram post, Meek Mill dropped a bombshell on fans. He asserted that he makes a staggering $1 million per song and a jaw-dropping $62,500 per bar. The Philadelphia rapper didn’t mince words. Instead, he proudly proclaimed his success in the industry and scoffing at the notion that rap is a dying art. In the Instagram post that set social media buzzing, Meek Mill declared, “I’m getting a million a song … so that’s 62,500 every bar I speak…. They say this rap s**t dying must be on billboard because it’s not to Meek!” The bold claim left fans both awestruck and skeptical. Social media was quick to call out the claims.

While many fans congratulated Meek Mill on his apparent financial triumphs, others were quick to express doubt. One Instagram user humorously commented, “Same n***a that asks for a discount at a shoe convention,” alluding to the contrast between Meek’s alleged million-dollar bars and real-world frugality. Another skeptic chimed in, stating, “Meek is LLLYYYYYIIIINNNNGGGG. Ain’t nobody paying a mill for them bars.” The sentiment reflects a common skepticism among fans, who question the authenticity of such lofty claims in an industry where exaggeration is common.

A post shared by No Jumper 🏀 (@nojumper)

Comparisons were drawn to other instances in the rap world where artists were accused of stretching the truth. One fan pointedly referenced Snoop Dogg, saying, “@meekmill lying like @snoopdogg did when he said he was done with ‘smoke.’” The comment alludes to the widespread skepticism that often accompanies bold statements in the world of hip-hop. Earlier today, it was revealed that Snoop Dogg’s post to “quit” smoking weed was just an ad. It turned out that Snoop was just partnering with Solo Stove to promote their smokeless fire pit products.

However, as Meek’s post circulated and fans debated the legitimacy of his claims, fans questioned his authenticity. While some may view Meek’s bold statement as a flex of success, others remain unconvinced. As the debate unfolds, Meek Mill’s Instagram revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing narrative of wealth and success in the rap game. In other news, Meek recently collaborated with Rick Ross for their new joint album Too Good To Be True. Have you listened yet?

Chris Brown Scores Another Top 10 Album As NBA Youngboy, Meek Mill And Rick Ross Sell More Than 30k

by

Chris Brown’s new studio album 11:11 sees the R&B star once again in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Every single one of his projects have scored top 10 debuts, with 11:11 coming in at 9th. While it’s the lowest debut on the charts for an album in his career so far, it’s still a monumentally impressive achievement. It’s Brown’s first studio album since 2009’s Graffiti to debut outside the top 5, with that album turning up at number 7. The project sold 44k copies placing it above albums released this year from artists like Don Toliver, Jack Harlow, and Trippie Redd.

It also debuted above some other big rap albums that came out the same week. NBA Youngboy released his 4th album of 2023 Decided 2. The project landed the third highest first week sales of the 4 projects pushing 35k units in its first week. Meek Mill and Rick Ross also teamed up for a new collaborative album called Too Good To Be True. Their star-studded collaborative project sold just over 31k copies in its first week. All three projects were out-sold by new albums from K-pop group Stray Kids and country singer Chris Stapleton this week.

Chris Brown’s New Album Puts Him Back In The Top 10

Meek Mill already shared his thoughts on his new album’s first week sales following the early predictions. While some fans were disappointed by the numbers he and Rick Ross ended up with, he saw things differently. He saw the dip in sales as a worthwhile sacrifice for going outside the industry machine and making sure that he and Rick Ross own all of their music.

Chris Brown managed his sales numbers after surprise dropping his album a day early. He was originally planning on dropping the project on November 11, which is fittingly 11/11. But fans found the project released a day early on November 10. What do you think of the first week sales for new albums from Chris Brown, NBA Youngboy, Meek Mill, & Rick Ross? Let us know in the comment section below.

Meek Mill Comes To Ice Spice’s Defense Over Fan Drink Drama

by

Earlier this week, Ice Spice got caught up in an online drama that seemed to spawn from almost nothing. A clip made the rounds online of the breakout rap star being handed a drink by a fan. Instead of drinking it herself, she hands it off to a friend which is where the controversy started. Fans online came at her for a variety of reasons. Some questioned why she didn’t drink it since it was a gift from a fan. But most people wondered why she handed it off to a friend if she was suspicious of it in the first place.

Now, Meek Mill is coming to Ice Spice’s defense over the matter. “it’s crazy people really expect you to drink a cup from a random person …” he responded to the video via a quote tweet. As you’d expect, fans quickly pointed out that Meek was sort of missing the point. “Then she shouldn’t have gave the drink to her friend if she distrusted it,” one popular comment pointed out to him. As of the time of publishing Meek hasn’t responded to any of the fans pointing that out to him. Check out his original thoughts on the situation below.

Meek Mill Stands Up For Ice Spice

Last week, Meek Mill and Rick Ross unleashed their new collaborative album Too Good To Be True. The album had a star-studded list of collaborators including Cool & Dre, BEAM, Vory, Fabolous, Teyana Taylor, DJ Khaled, Wale, The-Dream, Jeremih, French Montana, and Future all make appearances. The album also ends with a special remix featuring contributions from Damian Lillard and Shaq.

Despite the big names on the album, it’s only expected to sell between 30k and 35k copies in its first week. The low figures didn’t seem to phase Meek though, who explained to fans that he and Ross were doing things differently and owned their work. What do you think of the drama surrounding Ice Spice’s drink video? Do you agree with Meek Mill that she was in the right? Let us know in the comment section below.

Dr. Umar Johnson Blasts Rappers’ Hypocrisy: Violence In Lyrics, Philanthropy In Actions

by

Dr. Umar

Dr. Umar Johnson has taken a bold stance, criticizing the apparent hypocrisy within the realm of hip-hop. In a recent interview, the popular activist/psychologist voices his disappointment with rappers engaging in philanthropy, such as giving away turkeys and clothing during holidays, while simultaneously promoting violent and destructive lyrics.

Dr. Umar Calls Out Hypocrisy 

In an interview with The Art of Dialogue released on Nov. 13,  Dr. Umar expressed his disappointment with rappers who engage in philanthropic acts like giving away turkeys and clothing during holidays while promoting violent and destructive lyrics. 

“Hip-Hop has been around for 50 years!” Dr. Johnson shouted. “Not a single hospital, not a single school, not a single bank, not a single supermarket, not a single distribution company. How can we call hip-hop a blessing to the black community when that type of money is being made off of our culture and the community doesn’t benefit from it all.”

While Expanding on his critique, Dr. Johnson specifically addresses rappers who partake in seasonal giveaways of turkeys and clothing. 

“In exchange for some damn turkeys, and chickens and some sneakers you push death and destruction on our children for a living and we’re supposed to be ok with that because you dropped off some clothes and some turkeys. It’s not acceptable,” Dr. John added. Dr. Johnson would then call hip-hop an agent of white supremacy.”

 Dr. Johnson continued:

 “Until hip-hop begins to be a blessing for the black community, it is an agent of white supremacy.”

Hip-Hop Hypocrisy?

Dr. Johnson’s comments have garnered mixed reactions on Twitter (X). One user named @_Twinndiesel commented “ This is a very hard truth,” and another user named @VashaunBlanks commented, “Can’t believe I’m agreeing with him.” 

Other users felt differently such as @morrisdusk commented “Stop putting cameras on this goofy n*gga.” The issue of hip-hop hypocrisy is not limited to Dr. Umar Johnson’s viewpoint.  

New Orleans rapper Dee-1 appeared on Sway’s Universe on Nov. 1,  and also spoke out against the contradictory messages prevalent in the lyrics of certain artists, name-dropping Meek Mill, Rick Ross, and Jim Jones as examples. Dee-1, who is known for conscious and uplifting lyrics,  emphasized the need for these rappers to act more responsibly with their words, especially considering their public stances on prison reform. 

Meek Mill, in response, defended his actions by stating he felt compelled to speak out about prison reform. However, this response drew criticism on social media, with users accusing Meek Mill of hypocrisy.

Today’s Hip-Hop’s Impact On The Youth

Another concern about hip-hop is fans wondering if it has gone too far. In October 2023, a video went viral after a nine-year-old rapper named Lil RT performed his song “60 miles,” which includes vulgar and violent lyrics, on the YouTube Series From The Block.

Hip-Hop’s Decline In Sales

The issue of hypocrisy within the hip-hop industry resonates beyond Dr. Umar Johnson’s criticisms. Juicy J, known as the leader of Three 6 Mafia,  recently called for a meeting with leaders in the industry to discuss rap sales plummeting by 40%. He expressed concerns about the decline and suggested that today’s rappers prioritize gimmicks and trends over creating quality music.
