  • 50 Cent Slams Pop Smoke's Team Over His Posthumous Album Release

    Instagram

    The rapper takes to Instagram to make public his displeasure about how the slain rapper’s team dealt with his posthumous album ‘Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon’.
    Jul 10, 2020
    AceShowbiz – 50 Cent has always been known as an opinionated individual. Recently, the rapper took to his Instagram account to make public his displeasure about how Pop Smoke’s team dealt with his posthumous album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon” following the controversy surrounding the botched album cover designed by Virgil Abloh.
    On Thursday, July 9, the “In Da Club” spitter, who serves as a co-executive producer of the set, shared a picture featuring his quote about his involvement in the slain rapper’s album. “Not everything that I do is based on finances and money. I’m not taking anything from the proceeds from anything that has anything to do with the project. It is completely about how I felt about the kid when we were talking,” said 50 on executive producing the album.
    Fofty then wrote in the caption, “I’m really not feeling the way the guys involved with Pop’s project are handling things, I got it to this point it’s gonna be the #1 album. That’s good enough right, i’m gonna be unavailable moving forward peace.”

    Some fans praised him for the post. “Your vision for the album was indeed needed. Thank you for the great music. RIP Pop Smoke,” one of them said in the comment section. “You a real G for this my guy. If pop was here he would still be on his phone writing down what you were saying. Wooooo,” another chimed in.
    His post arrives after it was revealed that five men were arrested in connection to Pop’s murder. In response to the news, Fiddy wrote on his Instagram account, “Oh s**t, what the f**k was the police waiting for his album to drop too.”

    Previous report stated that Los Angeles Police Department officials served multiple search warrants early on Thursday, July 9, and three adults and two juveniles have since been taken into custody. According to TMZ, they are each being interviewed regarding their alleged involvement in Pop’s death back in February when the 20-year-old was fatally shot during a home invasion at his rented Hollywood Hills property.
    It remains to be seen what charges the suspects will face. However, Pop’s manager Steven Victor expressed optimism about the police investigation.

    Jul 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – T.I. has the best birthday present for his rival 50 Cent, who turned 45 on Monday, July 6. Taking to his Instagram account, Tip wished Fiddy a happy birthday in addition to challenging him to bring his music catalogue to Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s “Verzuz” song battle.
    “For your birthday, I offer you a challenge, sir,” Tip said in a video that he share on Monday. “Pull your a** up with 20 of your records, sit across from me, and get this work, man.”
    “But, I understand if you don’t want to answer to that challenge. Because last time you got challenged Kanye West dusted your a** off, so, you might not wanna do that. Well, guess who ain’t scared of your mothaf***in’ a**, 50?” he went on saying, referencing to the “Clash of the Titans” episode of BET’s 106 & Park featuring Kanye and Fofty as they discussed their respective albums “Graduation” and “Curtis” which were released at the same time.
    T.I. also invited Fif to bring the records with Dr. Dre, Eminem and G-Unit. “Look man pull up. Pull on up. Bring your a** on that. Bring your records, bring your hit records with you. You and Dr. Dre and Eminem and G-Unit, bring y’all a** on that. C’mon and see the king,” he challenged.

    As an active social media user, Fiddy quickly caught wind of Tip’s post. Sharing a screenshot of an article about his rival’s challenge, the “Power” actor/creator wrote in the caption, “yo somebody passed TI the weed they gave smokey in Friday. LOL.” He referenced to a scene in the 1995 cult classic film starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.

    In response to Fiddy’s reaction to his challenge, Tip uploaded another video in which he said, “Bring out the s**t with you. Show me, n***a. Show me, I’m crazy. Been waiting for somebody to put me on my place. … Come on, man!” He added, “I want all that smoke.”

    He then asked his rival to set the date for the battle. Concluding the clip, he said, “Enjoy your birthday!”

  • DJ Clue Promises to Play Pop Smoke's Album After Getting Savagely Blasted by 50 Cent

    Instagram

    The ‘In Da Club’ rapper says on his Instagram page that the radio personality refuses to play the slain rapper’s posthumous debut album because he didn’t get the record first.
    Jul 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Everyone was hyped over Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album after it was released on Friday, July 3, but DJ Clue apparently wasn’t one of them. 50 Cent, who executive produced the record, learned about this and wasted no time to criticize the radio personality because he believed Clue didn’t want to play the slain rapper’s album because of a petty reason.
    Not holding back at all, the “Power” alum began his post by calling Clue a “fool,” adding that he “got in his feelings, and said he not playing POP Smoke new joint because he didn’t get the record first.” He continued to write, “F**K YOU CLUE, @funkflex been kicking your a** up and down the street for years you little r****d. I done sold 30 million records you think I give a f**k if you play my music, is you dumb n***a?”
    Fiddy went on saying that Clue should “get a punch in the face.” He elaborated, “I don’t know why, but I’m almost sure you gone get punched in the face. Nothing crazy just a lower case L You know the vibes n***a.”
    Fiddy deleted his post afterward, but it looks like Clue had already read the post and took to his own account to announce that he’d be playing Pop Smoke’s album all day long on his radio. “We Repping For My Guy @Realpopsmoke All Day On @Power1051 . Including 9pm When I’m Playing The Entire Album Tune In Power1051Fm.Com or Download The @IheartRadio App & Stream It Live,” he said. “P.S.: We Didn’t Wake Up This Morning & Plan This.”

    Clue didn’t drop any names in his post, but people were already convinced that the disk jockey changed his mind right after being called out by Fiddy.
    Executive produced by Fiddy, “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon” featured the likes of Tyga, Karol G, Quavo and Roddy Ricch among others.

    Ja Rule Challenges 50 Cent to Instagram Live Song Battle

    WENN

    Fans quickly share an opinion about Ja’s desire to have an online battle with his longtime foe as some of them appear to be skeptical that the battle will really take place.
    Apr 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Ja Rule is down for a real battle with rival 50 Cent. After feuding with the “In Da Club” rapper for almost 2 decades, Ja revealed in a new Instagram Live that he was ready for a battle with Fiddy for the next installment of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Versuz series.
    “I want all the smoke but I’ll behave,” he promised to Swizz and Fat Joe during a livestreaming on April 11. Seemingly not being convinced, Swizz responded, “That sounds like a devilish behave.”
    Fans quickly shared an opinion about Ja’s desire to have a battle with Fifty. “Ja Rule will never stand a chance against my man 50. He chasin clout,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Some others appeared to be skeptical that the battle would really take place. “I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” one tweeted.
    However, should they really do this, one fan believed that “Ja Rule would win.” Another supporter said, “Ja has more hits then 50.” Some people were against the idea though, claiming, “Nobody wanna hear no jarule s**t come on.”
    Ja and 50’s feud started back in 1999 when Ja was robbed at gunpoint for his chain in Southside Jamaica, Queens. Fiddy then claimed that Ja saw him at a club with the culprit only weeks later. Ja admitted to being robbed but he denied seeing 50 with the culprit. Further making things worse was when J and Murder Inc. rapper Black Child were arrested when 50 was stabbed at Hit Factory recording studio in New York.
    The two rappers had released diss tracks about each other and openly taken a jab at each other on social media. Talking about their beef on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” back in 2019, Ja said, “Here’s the thing. We’ve been having this ongoing feud for, I don’t know, seems like it’s been fifteen years.”
    “And, I think it’s time that we’ve grown past it. So, I’m to take the day on and … I am removing myself from the circus. Because, what I realized is that when you entertain clowns, you become part of the circus,” he continued. “He’s a bad father. He’s got like a big square box head. And, one more thing – he looks like his breath stinks.”

    50 Cent Responds to Critic's Reviews on 'For Life': 'Winning'

    Instagram

    This arrives after 50 weighs in on Drake revealing the first photo of his son Adonis Graham, joking about the strong genes from Drake’s mom on the kid, who sports curly blonde hair.
    Apr 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – 50 Cent lets everyone know that he’s keeping tabs on his doubters. The rapper and “Power” creator recently took to his Instagram account to weigh in on Greg Braxton’s review on his new TV series “For Life” after the latter previously trashed “Power”.
    “Greg braxton of los Angeles times gave me a f***ed up review for power. i didn’t understand his opinion, but i took note of him because i thought he might just be someone deciding to go against me,” so Fif wrote on the caption alongside a picture of Greg.
    However, Fif’s new work “For Life” apparently was of Greg’s liking. “Now he is giving me great reviews on FOR LIFE I will win over anyone who doubts me let’s go ! #abcforlife #starzgettheapp #imnotgonnastop winning,” Fiddy concluded confidently.

    Joking, one of his followers wrote in the comment section, “Damn he is about to give you a bad review for this bad pic you put up.” Someone else added, “50 really held this man hostage until he said his show is good lmao.”
    One person, meanwhile, noticed that the way Fif captioned his post reminded people of President Donald Trump. “50 captions like Trump,” the person said.
    This arrives after 50 weighed in on Drake revealing the first photo of his son Adonis Graham. On Monday, March 30, the rapper joked about the strong genes from Drake’s mom on the kid, who sports curly blonde hair. “Drake had his mom a grand baby for real, her genes are strong,” the “In Da House” rapper said while posting a side-by-side photo of Sandra and Adonis. “i bet she is so happy he looks like her. #abcforlife #starzgettheapp #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi theking.”

    That day, Drake took to his Instagram account to share the first photo of his beautiful son. Driven by his feelings of missing his “beautiful family” while in self-quarantine amid Coronavirus pandemic, the “In My Feelings” hitmaker uploaded a slew pictures of him and the toddler.

    50 Cent Quotes His Track 'Heat' to Warn Rappers About Gang-Related Lyrics

    WENN/Pop

    The ‘In da Club’ spitter reminds fellow rap stars that prosecutors can use rap lyrics as evidence in court against artists as he shines light on Drakeo the Ruler’s legal battle.
    Mar 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – 50 Cent wants other rappers to learn from Drakeo the Ruler’s criminal case. Using his 2003 song “Heat” from debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’ “, the “In da Club” hitmaker warned fellow rap stars through an Instagram post that their gang-related lyrics could be used as evidence in court against them.
    On Monday, March 23, the 44-year-old MC shared a screenshot of The Conversation’s article that shines light on the usage of rap lyrics to incriminate Drakeo. In the caption, he quoted his song lyrics, “i told you in 03/ i do what i gotta do/ i don’t care if i get caught/ the DA can play this mother f*****g tape in court/ i’ll kill you HEAT.”
    The Kanan Stark of “Power” went on to share with his followers, “(This is not new) if you say crazy s**t on these records they are gonna use it. if you in a gang on the song then you in the gang when the indictment come fool. LOL.”

    The article from The Conversation itself carried a headline that read, “Prosecutors are increasingly – and – misleadingly – using rap lyrics as evidence in court.” It discussed about Drakeo’s on-going case in which investigators used his “Flex Freestyle” lyrics from his 2017’s “So Cold I Do Em” album to prove his guilt in the allegation of him shooting from a motor vehicle.
    In a recent interview, Drakeo expressed his frustration over his case that forced him to face a second life sentence. “This s**t has been going on forever, bro,” he confided with Genius. “It’s not the way that people think, where it’s like, ‘Oh! If he said this in the rap, he’s gonna do it.’ The rap game is not as gangster as people think it is. This shit is for entertainment.”
    “When I said, ‘RJ was tied up in the back of a car,’ was RJ actually tied up in the back of the car? They take this s**t too literally. It’s not that serious,” the rapper, whose real name is Darrell Caldwell, went on. “When these n****s are shooting up schools and smashing cars, I bet you they’re not listening to rap music when they’re doing that shit.”
