Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The people didn’t find 50 Cent’s attempts at humor funny when it came to politics. He is now clearing up his earlier statement and much more. As spotted on HipHopDX the Queens Native was a recent guest on The Breakfast Club. The crew got the “I Get Money” rapper to discuss a variety of topics but a particular tweet was the highlight of the interview. Back in October he posted a screenshot of Joe Biden’s proposed tax program and urged his followers to vote for Trump. “WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, F*CK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya f***ing mind.” he wrote. WHAT THE F*CK!

Source: Jeff Kravitz/MTV1415 / Getty John Legend has never been shy about his disapproval of current sitting President, Donald Trump, but recently he had some choice words for rappers who were trying to help Trump sway the vote. On Monday (Nov 2), while appearing at a campaign event for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, John Legend let all the Trump-supporting rappers know exactly how he felt about their endorsement. After performing “Glory” with Common at the event, the soul singer delivered a powerful speech denouncing Donald Trump’s “Platinum Plan” for Black Americans and its celebrity backers, including Ice Cube, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Lil Pump. “Now, some people see the meanness, the bullying, the selfishness of Donald Trump and they mistake it for strength, a kind of twis...
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Election Day is upon us and like clockwork, lines are being drawn in the political sand right before our eyes. Sensing this natural divide, 50 Cent took it as a moment to imagine a mock meat beef between Eminem and Lil Wayne given their political affiliations of late. The artist born Curtis Jackson rarely misses a moment to troll, doing so via his favored tool of social media to get some jokes off at someone else’s expense. Using a photo of a Black man holding a large confederate facing off against a white man with a Black Lives Matter sign, Fif captioned the image “Wanye vs. Eminem” with a laughing emoji. Recently, Wayne has joined an alarmingly growing list of rappers who have put their faith into President Donald Trump. On the reverse, Eminem gave Joe Biden a...
Source: Peacock / Getty Comedian Amber Ruffin had some choice words for rappers coming out in support of current sitting President, Donald Trump. On Monday’s (Oct. 26) episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, AmberRuffin laid out on the table exactly what most African Americans in support of change were thinking. During the three and a half minute skit, you see Ruffin attempting to refrain from commenting on the subject of Ice Cube working with Trump, as host Seth Meyers discussed the headlines from the previous week stating that both 50 Cent and Ice Cube were either in support of Trump or working with him, stating that her comments would “go off the rails,” before diving in and allowing her stance to be made clear. As previously reported, Ice Cube has fallen somewhat out of favor with many...
Source: Mark Sullivan / Getty Chalk this up to when trolling goes wrong? After saying he just might vote for the current resident of the White House, 50 Cent has changed his tune to, “F*ck Donald Trump.” The Queens rapper posted the video of his alleged ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler telling Jimmy Fallon she was willing to pay those extra taxes that he claimed would make him go to the Dark Side and vote for Trump. “So he doesn’t want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn’t want to go from ’50 Cent’ to ’20 Cent’ and I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump and that he shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook,” said Handler. But his caption made it clear he isn...
Source: Johnny Louis/WENN.com / WENN Busta Rhymes has always been a larger than life figure but that also translated to his physical appearance over the years. Taking ownership of his health, the Dungeon Dragon got serious about fitness and now has the rock-solid abs to show for it. In a before and after photo posted on Instagram, the 48-year-old rapper shared a side profile of himself shirtless with a lot of weight around the middle. In the corresponding photo, Bussa Bus is seen lifting his shirt and showing off the six-pack he earned. In the caption of the post, Busta gave a strong salute to his trainer and nutritionist for getting him on his new path. From IG: DON’T EVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!! LIFE BEGINS RIGHT NOW!!! MY DEDICATION IS DIFFERENT!! I WOULD NEVER PUT OUT AN ALBUM AND NOT BE...
Source: Mark Sullivan / Getty Fofty failed us when he announced he was voting for Trump becuase his “wealthy” self doesn’t want to pay taxes under Joe Biden’s tax plan. Donald Trump is now celebrating his latest Black celebrity endorsement. Jimmy Kimmel pretty much proved with his survey that the majority of Blacks in America are not rocking with Donald Trump. But, that’s not stopping the super-spreader-in-chief from claiming that he has done more for African Americans except Abraham Lincoln. His words, not ours. After the Queens-born rapper cried about having to pay 62% in taxes under Joe Biden’s tax plan, he received praise from the MAGA faithful, Tomi Lehran, Candace Owens, and Donald Trump’s senior campaign advisor Katrina Pierson. Trump, who is always looking for a new African A...
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz 50 Cent’s influence in Tinseltown is about to possibly double. He is now in business with one of the biggest names in the picture business. As spotted on The Hollywood Reporter, the Queens native doesn’t plan to slow down one bit when it comes to cinema. Last week he confirmed rumors that he has struck a three-picture deal with Eli Roth. For those not in the know, Roth is currently a heavyweight within the horror movie genre; his work includes Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Hemlock Grove while also launching Crypt TV. As expected, Fofty took to social media to stunt. “Eli Roth google that bitch,😆I only pitch in the major league. LOL #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi winners only join the club,” Fif wrote. Eli also detailed his ...

Deadline reports following the shows record-setting premiere, it was a no-brainer for Starz to bring Power Book II: Ghost back for a second season.

The show also broke records on the Starz app, which saw subscriber acquisition up 42%. The show broke records internationally as well. It was the top-performing series across ...
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz If there’s one thing 50 Cent knows how to do, it’s creating quality television for the culture. We know it, and Starz knows it, too. That’s why the network announced their new deal with the Queens rapper to develop two original scripted series for our screens. Fif will develop both series as an executive producer through his G-Unit Film and Television imprint under his exclusive four-year deal with the premium network. The first project follows the successful climb of a young, ambitious Black woman breaking through the obstacles of the highly competitive and male-dominated world of sports agents. The show might have the makings of being an instant hit with “Snowfall” and “Raising Kanan” script genius Tash Grey attached as executive producer and...
Source: Patrick McMullan / Getty 50 Cent is making sure folks know G-Unit is not only over, but also that he regrets creating the group who ran the charts in the early 2000s. During an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, 50 Cent revealed that he regrets creating the group who helped propel the careers of Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo, before adding that he has no plans of creating a documentary around the group after Whoo Kid raised the question due to the increase in Hip-Hop documentaries. “I don’t care to do that, I’d like to forget G-Unit,” Fif said. “Kendrick [Lamar] doesn’t even let those boys come on stage with him. I could have did that! What the f*ck I’m bringing 30 n***as onstage for? I could have did it like Kendrick.” While 50 wishes to forget his group, we have to point out ho...
