Fofty’s Fury: 50 Cent Blasts Grammys For Best Rap Album Picks

Source: Raymond Hall / Getty The 2021 Grammy Award nominees were announced on Tuesday (Nov. 24) and most were pleased and even shocked by the amount of notable Hip-Hop acts named. However, 50 Cent voiced his displeasure with the selections and called the Recording Academy “out of touch” in typical Fofty fashion. In a now-deleted post, 50 Cent took to his favored social media vehicle of Instagram to share his distaste with the Grammy nominations. “Best Rap Album,” Fif wrote with some emojis in tow. “They out of touch this shit ain’t it, get the fuck outta here. 50cent #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.” Most are speculating that the artist born Curtis Jackson was perhaps angered that the late Pop Smoke and his studio debut album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon was not among the nominees. ...

50 Cent Claims He Was Offered $1 Million To Formally Back Trump

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.

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.

50 Cent Imagines Mock Meat Political Beef Between Eminem & Lil Wayne

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...

50 Cent Clowns Lil Nas X’s Nicki Minaj Costume, Fif Gets Read In Signature Barb Fashion

Source: Amy Sussman/BBMA2020 / Getty While 50 Cent did not dress up for Halloween he still made sure to insert himself in the conversation. Lil Nas X’s outfit in particular triggered him the most. As spotted on Complex the “Old Town Road” performer did his very best to capture the essence of one Hip-Hop’s queens. He dressed up as Nicki Minaj from her 2011 music video “Super Bass”. Naturally the sight of him wearing a body suit, wig and make-up was a look to behold but to achieve her signature curves he also donned what seems to be silicone padding. As expected the visual quickly ended up going viral and landed on 50’s timeline. The “Window Shopper” rapper clearly felt a ways because of the androgynous ensemble. He tweeted “what the f***, Nikki come get him !!! Lol”.  The tweet qu...

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...

50 Cent: “F*ck Donald Trump”

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...

Look At My African American: Donald Trump Shares ‘New York Post’ Cover Featuring 50 Cent On Instagram

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...
