You’ve got to think that the higher-ups at STARZ are peeved about Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s constant criticism of the network. Considering he’s such a major part of the network’s success in recent years with the Power universe and his other television projects, one would expect Fif to filter himself when it comes to shredding his bosses online. In the last few weeks though, he’s come after his employers on a few separate occasions, most recently joking about a scene on Run The World that featured laughable continuity editing. 

Video editors know to look for continuity issues in the mise-en-scene when they’re piecing together the puzzle behind the boards but on the latest episode of Run The World, 50 Cent quickly noticed something was off when one of the characters had disappearing earrings during a scene.

Ella McFair, portrayed by Andrea Bordeaux, was walking down the block with her boyfriend when 50 Cent pointed out that, at times, she appears with large gold earrings and at others, they’re completely missing from the scene. This is a pretty big blunder from the editing team and while the lead editor likely already got a stern speaking-to, Fiddy wanted to voice his own frustrations with the network, possibly leveraging himself for an even more prestigious position.

“STARZ needs me! It don’t come out right when I’m not involved,” said the executive producer of Power, speaking over the scene. “EARRINGs, No Earrings EARRINGs, No Earrings, No Earrings EARRINGS. LMAO,” he added in his caption.

Watch the scene below (with additional commentary from 50 Cent).

After almost divorcing in one of the worst public marriage meltdowns on social media in recent years, Ray J and Princess Love seem to be back on track. Fans have watched the ups and downs of their relationship play out on reality television for Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, but after a bit of a hiccup, the proud parents of two are looking at reconciliation.

Ray J put his union on front street during his appearance on Respectfully Justin where Lil Duval also shared his opinions on all things love and sex. “My situation with my beautiful wife, I didn’t want to hit on the first night,” said Ray J. “I wanted to stretch it, just because it’s different. Six, seven months.” Host Justin Laboy couldn’t believe it. Ray added, “‘Til they can’t take it no more.”

“I wanna get to know you,” added the reality star. Lil Duval chimed in and seemed skeptical about it. “You waited six months?” asked Duval. Ray quickly answered, “No, she waited six months,” before the room erupted in laughter. Elsewhere, the fellas spoke about cheating on their partners, with Lil Duval admitting that he’s “backslid on his journey of life.” He added, however, “Black men don’t cheat.”

Ray J weighed in. “Men and women sometimes slip up, young know what I’m saying? How many times they do and how many times somebody forgives is another thing.” Then, Ray compared it to the animal kingdom, stating that the “head lion” is “smashing everybody” because it’s the animal’s “natural instinct.”

Duval gave advice to the ladies who want their men to remain faithful: “If you don’t want your man to cheat, keep his d*ck soft.” Check out the full episode below.
