Nicki Minaj shows love to 50 Cent, 50 Cent responds

This Friday, Nicki Minaj is coming back with new single, featuring Lil Baby!

To promote the new track, Nicki Minaj released the trailer of the song and did an Instagram livestream session yesterday where Barbie showed love to 50 Cent and praised his recent success in television.

“Shout out to 50 Cent. Shout out to Fifty. Congratulations to Fifty. Proud is an understatement. If you know you know.” – said Nicki.

50 Cent cut that part of the livestream and shared it on his Instagram with the caption: “This is that South Side s**t I be talking about. We don’t come to make friends. We come to take over.”

Eminem, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes – “Hail Mary” (LIVE)

Unlike 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes jumped on a track with Eminem few times. “Calm Down,” “I’ll Hurt You,” and “Touch It (Remix, Live at BET Awards)” also featuring Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliot, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, DMX and “Hail Mary,” also featuring 50 Cent, which is a diss-track aimed at Ja Rule.

“Hail Mary” is a remake of Tupac’s song with the same name, performed by Eminem, Busta Rhymes and 50 Cent. The track is produced by Hurt-M-Badd.

It’s rare to see Eminem and Busta Rhymes on the same stage and it’s even rarer to see them performing “Hail Mary” but fortunately the footage is stored by SMACK (Streets Music Art Culture & Knowledge) DVD magazine which was created in 2003 and served as a source for rap battles, beefs, live performances and artist interviews before the popularity of social media.

With the recent debate about Eminem and Busta Rhymes Verzuz battle, I hope you enjoy this throwback rare live performance from 2003 below:

50 Cent to produce investigative TV series “Hip-Hop Homicides”

After finding success with Power TV series, 50 Cent moved on to Black Mafia Family and has now started working on Hip Hop Homicides.

Fifty has teamed up with Love And Hip Hop creator Mona Scott-Young and former TMZ co-host Van Lathan to produce the non-scripted series for WEtv, according to Deadline.

From Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., the show will explore the numerous unsolved murders in the Hip Hop community in an attempt to uncover details of what really happened.

The hip-hop mogul shared the news on his social media account with the caption: “Heat on the way WE tv, HIPHOP HOMICIDES GLG.”

In recently released statement, 50 Cent said: “G-Unit Film and Television has thrived by telling real stories. As I continue to grow my current slate, premium non-scripted programming will be a major focus. Hip Hop loves things that are damaged. This series will shed light on the artists that did not make it through the struggle.”

“50 and I created this show in response to the disturbing number of murders in Hip Hop. With this boots-on-the-ground investigative series, we will look to closely examine and explore leads surrounding these cases with the hope of finally providing loved ones with answers.” – Scott-Young added.

50 Cent: “I love Eminem to death, I’m so grateful what he did for me”

50 Cent has recently spoken exclusively on Express UK about his BMF series, which featured a big role from Snoop Dogg and a cameo from Eminem as a White Boy Rick.

In the new interview, Fifty talked about the 7th episode that he directed and had an Eminem cameo.

“Working with Eminem was great. I think it was the comfortability of me directing that even allowed him to say yes to that. He was like ‘well, what are we doing? ‘Cause we are doing it.’ It’s not like someone else is telling me what to do, and I am uncomfortable.”

“It’s always easy for me to work with Em. I love Em to death, ‘cause that’s my guy. He launched my career. At the point that he’s saying ‘yo, 50’s gonna be the next biggest thing. He’s at 23 million copies sold on the Marshall Mathers LP. That was all he had to do for me music-wise, I took off. I was ready to go.”

“I remember that but some people forget. They look at it and say ‘I made you a lot of money.’ And I don’t look at it like that. I look at it like, ‘I’m so grateful for what you did.’” – said 50 Cent.

Rick Ross says Verzuz vs 50 Cent is ‘light work,’ laughs at Fifty’s earnings from BMF

Rick Ross has recently set down with GQ Magazine where he talked about 50 Cent. Check the conversations below.

Interviewer: Verzuz with 2 Chainz was good vibes, though. Would you ever do one that was a little charged up, a little more contentious and competitive like Dipset and LOX? Like… would you do one with 50 Cent?

Rick Ross: You got to ask yourself would he come and do a Verzuz with Rozay. I mean, you got to ask yourself honestly, would he come and stand next to Rozay in the arena or wherever it would be? That’s really your question. I don’t even think it’s a question of if I would do it. That shit light.

Interviewer: 50 would be light work? It’s 20 songs…

Rick Ross: Come on, now. I helped the views on his shows. On TV, he didn’t do nothing, man.

Interviewer: Have you been watching BMF, considering your own BMF connection?

Rick Ross: Man, I saw the first episode. I was just trying to support the homie Meech, the ni**as in the street. I’m a real ni**a. I could put my issues with 50]to the side. I know he may have made a quarter million off the whole season. I’m happy he made that quarter. You know that’s what he made. Why you laughing like that? And make sure you put all these details in. I’ll never let you interview me again if you take that out. Keep it. But, look I know he made 250k off the whole season, and that’s good. Tell him I said, “Congratulations.”

Interviewer: Would you act?

Rick Ross: There ain’t enough money in acting. That’s what I was just saying. Your man made 250k for the season doing that. That little season, Starz TV shit. What channel is it really?

Ross also talks about Lloyd Banks. You can check the full interview on GQ here.

Royce 5’9″ sends some strong messages to 50 Cent & Lupe Fiasco

Couple of days ago, Royce Da 5′9″ took to Instagram to question why 50 Cent publicly apologized to Pop icon Madonna for making fan about her latest photshoot but did not do the same for Hip Hop legend Lil Kim.

In the video shared on social media, Royce sends message to Fifty: “I have some stuff on my mind I want to get off. I was thinking about the effect hip-hop has had on the world and how we pretty much took over the world. So I got two messages. First message is to my brother 50 Cent, who is one of our kings. If I am a young person coming from another genre or come from another walk of life and I am following the way things are right now, I would think that Madonna is worthy of an apology, but Lil Kim is not. That ain’t the message we want to send, is it? Nah, that is not the message we want to send.”

Then Royce sends second message to Lupe Fiasco: “I know that you and Virgil were real tight. RIP to the brother Virgil. I know me and Lupe had some rap disagreements recently but I just wanna say no rap disagreement should ever supersede our mental well-being and brotherhood. And when I say brotherhood, I don’t mean friendship. That’s not the same. Friendship is not necessary, brotherhood is. So, I just want you to know Lu, that my well wishes and my thoughts are with you in your time of grief and if you need anything on this side, you know the number. Love and respect to you all. Peace.”

Nickel shared the video with the caption: “A message to 2 of our GOATS, Respectfully… 50 Cent and Lupe Fiasco. R.I.P. The Great Virgil Abloh.”

Under the post, producer Symbolyc One commented: “This is why I love you bro.”

Royce 5’9″ shares his thoughts on Eminem’s role in 50 Cent’s “BMF” as White Boy Rick

Royce 5’9″ has recently set down with Lando Bando on TheHipHop Lab where the two discussed many things, including Eminem’s cameo in 50 Cent’s “Black Mafia Family” TV show.

“I love the BMF series. I didn’t go into it expecting anything in particular cause I never knew anything about Meech anyway or the vague stories that I heard in the past. That’s not my generation so all of that s**t is interesting to me. The best part about the series to me is little Meech. He’s doing magnificent job.”

“That Em episode. That’s funny. Man, that s**t went by so fast. I wonder why he didn’t play bigger part. They could have figured out a way to work with White Boy Rick into there. I didn’t know Eminem is going to be in that one. Maybe Meech and White Boy Rick encounter was just brief. I don’t know. I thought he was gonna bump him into prison or some s**t but it’s dope though.” says Royce.

50 Cent says Eminem did not actually shave his beard for BMF cameo

50 Cent has recently done an interview with Entertainment Weekly where he talked about seventh episode of Black Mafia Family, directed by himself. In the 7th episode, Eminem makes cameo as a White Boy Rick.

“When Eminem found out I was directing, he committed to do it, and working together was natural. It was an honor to have him on the show and it made this episode extra special.”

“The technology that they used to de-age him was the same thing they used in Robert De Niro’s The Irishman movie. Em actually has a beard, so they first took the hair out of his face using the technology and then they de-aged him all the way down.” said Fifty.
