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.”

AceShowbiz – Another day, another trolling. 50 Cent is back at it again with his online antics, and he recently took to his Twitter account to joke about taking over the CEO position at Def Jam Recordings following the departure of Paul Rosenberg.
“I have decided to take the Job at Def Jam,” the rapper and “Power” executive producer joked on Thursday, February 27. “Somebody gotta do it, who better then me.”
He followed it up with a tweet that read, “wait let me see, what they got first,” alongside a picture of the label’s logo.

50 Cent trolls Def Jam Recordings on Twitter.
Playing along with Fiddy’s joke, fans in the replies were all in for the idea. “50 please get them to make another def jam video game like the second one and nothing like icon. Thanks 50. G unit,” one wrote. Trolling back, someone tweeted, “U gna do nothing but bully every other Major Label President… I WANT MY MONEY BY MONDAY YOUR IM KIDNAPPING YOUR ARTIST.’ ”
Meanwhile, a fan listed what he wanted Fiddy to do should the hip-hop mogul really take over the company. “FIGHT FOR NY REMAKE. it’s what the people deserve. Add new fighters, get some Detroit blood in there,” the person demanded.
Fofty’s tweets arrive after Rosenberg announced on Friday, February 21 that he stepped down from the CEO position following two years with the label. Explaining that it was just a bit too much with everything else that he has going on, Rosenberg said, “Lucian offered me a dream opportunity to serve at the helm of Def Jam. The experience I had running one of the greatest, most storied record companies of the modern era was incredible.”
“I will remain forever grateful. I’ve learned a great deal, but one of the most important things I learned is that my ability to multi-task is not without limits,” so Rosenberg, who is also Eminem’s longtime manager, concluded his statement.
Despite the announcement, he will still stay with company as he plans to transition into a new role as head of a new joint venture with Universal Music Group and Goliath Records. Roserberg, who previously replaced Steve Bartels after the latter served as Def Jam CEO from 2013-2017, will also continue his work with Em and Shady Records.
