50 Cent showed some love to fellow actor and rapper from across the pond, Top Boy star Ashley Walters on Wednesday (Mar. 24), after the British artist recounted the time Fif blessed an entire cast with designer watches.  

During a recent interview, Ashley Walters discussed appearing with 50 Cent in the 2005 biopic, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. “Bruv, it was dope man,” the actor said before revealing he became “obsessed” with the New York rapper when his brother played him a tape on the day he was released from prison.  

A short while later, Ashley Walters found himself working alongside him. He felt “like I’ve made it,” he admitted, explaining he would see the likes of Eminem and the G-Unit crew around the set.  

At the time, it was uncommon for U.K. artists to be dripping in ice with buss down watches, unlike now. However, while shooting the movie in New York, Ashley decided to treat himself to a Jacob watch for his birthday. He couldn’t afford one of the higher-end pieces and opted for one within his budget. While he returned to the set “feeling like the man,” 50 Cent was unimpressed.  

50 Cent Is A Generous Boss  

“That’s dead. How much you pay for that?” came the response. When Ashley revealed he spent about $9,000 on the watch, 50 Cent took him back to the store. “When we go inside, say you’re my cousin,” 50 Cent instructed before berating the staff for allowing his “cousin’ to walk out the store with a $9k watch. “Ash, pick whatever watch you want,” Fif told him before making up the difference on his chosen timepiece. “The next day, he bought every actor that watch,” Ashley said of the generous star. Watch the full interview below.  

However, Ashley Walters could get the opportunity to work with the TV mogul once again. 50 Cent took to Instagram, sharing his love for the U.K. crime drama, revealing he would like to work with Ashley Walters. 

“If you watched Get Rich or Die Tryin’ you know why I love Top Boy, @ashleywalters is my man,” Fiddy wrote. “I can’t wait to do a show with him. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi GLG🚦GreenLightGang 🎯I don’t miss.”

Joyner Lucas Blasts Machine Gun Kelly Over Lollapalooza Headlining Spot

Joyner Lucas is not happy about his placement on the 2022 Lollapalooza poster. The Grammy-nominated emcee took to Twitter to vent his frustrations about the Chicago-set festival. He also decided to take shots at Machine Gun Kelly in the process.

“These festivals [are] gon stop playing with me like I ain’t that n####. Putting my name next to the names of a bunch of random n##### that nobody heard of and offering me a weak ass 💰. Then I say no to the offer and these hoe ass n##### put me on the flier anyways. @lollapalooza,” tweeted Joyner Lucas on Wednesday afternoon.

He added, “N##### is on gon start putting respek on my name. For years [I’ve] been getting these weak ass offers like I’m some lil n####. Then n##### who ain’t even on my level or doing my numbers is getting put in BIG LETTERS while they write my s### hella small on the flier! How sway?!!”

Joyner’s rant continued, “I’m the biggest independent artist period with the exception of my n#### [Tech N9ne]. And I got the numbers & the fans & the💰 to back that statement up. How is it that these festivals keep tryna bunch my name up with a bunch of n##### who ain’t on my level? N####, I’m JOYNER LUCAS 🤨.”

The 33-year-old “I’m Not Racist” and “ADHD” rapper went on to demand Lollapalooza take his name off this year’s flyer. Eventually, Joyner Lucas turned his attention to Machine Gun Kelly.

“Then you got this goofy ass n#### headlining? Smh how sway?” tweeted Joyner Lucas, along with a photo of MGK. Some other Twitter users then began trolling Lucas over his takedown of Marshall “Eminem” Mathers’s longtime adversary.

“Someone said ‘don’t bring out the rap devil’… 😭 maaaaannnn listen. Lol. What my brother Marshall did to this n#### @machinegunkelly is light compared to what’s waiting if he wanna walk down that street wit me. Ain’t nobody worried bout a n#### who paints his nails. 💅🏿 foh,” posted Lucas.

Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly engaged in a years-long, highly-publicized feud that supposedly began over MGK’s comments about Em’s then-teenage daughter. The beef featured several diss tracks, including Kelly’s “Rap Devil” in 2018.

Joyner Lucas often cites Eminem as one of his biggest musical influences. The Massachusetts native teamed up with Em for 2018’s “Lucky You” collaboration. That track earned a Best Rap Song nomination at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.

‘Insecure’ Star Sarunas Jackson Slams Trey Songz For Turning Down Fight

R&B singer Trey Songz has been dealing with serious sexual misconduct allegations at the moment. Fellow entertainer, Sarunas Jackson, also accuses Songz of being disrespectful towards women.

Sarunas J. Jackson, best known for playing Alejandro ‘Dro’ Peña on HBO’s Insecure, made an appearance on the Guys Next Door podcast. The interview included Jackson talking about wanting to fight the “Say Aah” performer.

“Trey Songz’s a b#### ass n####. [He] tries to press women but then would turn down the fade when a n#### came up to him,” Sarunas Jackson told the GND hosts.

The Good Trouble actor continued, “I’m not cool with n##### like that. I tried to knock the n#### out, keep running, but he wants to fight women and stuff like that. To me, I can’t operate like that.”

An unnamed woman recently filed a $20 million lawsuit against Trey Songz, claiming he forcibly raped her in 2016. Other alleged victims have also sued Songz (born Tremaine Neverson). The 37-year-old performer denies the accusations.

Trey Songz has been connected to other violence as well. He avoided charges stemming from a 2021 altercation with a Kansas City police officer during an NFL game. Later that year, a Los Angeles bartender claimed Songz assaulted him inside the Hollywood Palladium.

Additionally, news broke about Trey Songz allegedly injuring a woman from a hit-and-run incident in May 2021. When it comes to his music career, Trey Songz has not dropped a studio album since 2020’s Back Home.

Carl Crawford Has Megan Thee Stallion ‘Coke Head’ Receipts?

So, the entrenched legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and Carl Crawford intensifies. Actually, he is threatening to drop ‘coke head’ receipts! Recently, the record exec hopped on Instagram Live to make the caustic allegations.

Of course, Tina Snow’s lyrical dexterity continues to impact the genre. In fact, for her contributions to the craft, she has yielded great distinction. This year, she is the recipient of iHeart Radio’s Trailblazer award. To date, she is earning tremendous professional success.

However, her personal life appears to be experiencing profound discord. First off, the Houston Hottie was allegedly shot by a peer. Additionally, she is embroiled in another legal proceeding. Her former label, 1501 ENT is claiming breach of contract.

In other words, Carl Crawford — the baseball star-turned music executive — is upset that the acclaimed artist left his label. Be that as it may, any legal proceedings are unable to confine his apparent disdain. Generally speaking, he is using social media as a platform to voice his angst.

To be fair, in a previous wifi war of words Hot Girl Meg, did insinuate that Carl has an indulgent nature. Following that insult Carl comes out swinging. “Aye Meg, you better tell your fans about this coke sh*t before I really get to telling them who the coke head is around this muthaf*cker,” chides Carl.

Soon, he insists, “I’m telling you.  I don’t got nothing but atomic bombs in my system.  I got evidence proof.  I’m going to present receipts.” To make things worse, Crawford believes that the “Savage” MC owes him millions of dollars.

In any case, he is definitely seeking to regain a return on his investment. Then, of himself, he declares, “They just trying to hoe a n*gga.”

Will Megan Thee Stallion be able to get past this accusation?

Tupac Unpublished Childhood Poetry Written For His Imprisoned Black Panther Godfather Up For Auction

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Tupac Shakur had a way with words from an early age, exemplified in an unpublished booklet of haiku poetry written and illustrated by Pac for his incarcerated Black Panther godfather. It is estimated to fetch up to $300,000 when it goes to auction Wednesday. 

11-year-old Tupac wrote and illustrated the booklet nearly 40 years ago. Sotheby’s claim the booklet is “the earliest known manuscript by Shakur to come to market.”

He addressed it to his godfather, Jamal Joseph, and other Black Panther Party members. He signed the booklet, “Tupac ♥ Shakur, Future Freedom Fighter.” 

Tupac Wrote The Booklet While Under FBI Surveillance

Sotheby’s description notes Tupac wrote the booklet while he, his mother Afeni Shakur, and his baby sister were under constant FBI surveillance. He sent it to Leavenworth federal penitentiary where his godfather was imprisoned.  

Jamal revealed he kept the booklet with him at Leavenworth for about a year before sending it to his wife. If not for that foresight, the manuscript may never have survived. “The Guards had been searching cells after a gang stabbing and were messing up prisoners’ books, letters and photos,” Jamal explained. “If you had money in your commissary account to pay for shipping and a decent counselor you could get a permission slip and take your stuff to the mailroom to send home.”  

The booklet appears as part of Sotheby’s “The Art and Influence of Hip Hop” collection. It also includes a number of love letters Tupac wrote to his high school sweetheart. Hip-hop artifacts and memorabilia “from the late 1970s through the “Golden Age” of the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, and up to the present,” also feature in the sale. Lots begin closing on March 30.  

The auction was curated in part by Monica Lynch, former president of Tommy Boy Records. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the programs coordinated by “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels for Queen Public Library. Non-profit community organization Building Beats will also receive funds.

Meanwhile, as reported by AllHipHop, Jamal Joseph is working with Jasmine Guy and the estate of Tupac Shakur on a biopic of his mother, Afeni. The film explores the two years from April 2, 1969, when Afeni Shakur was arrested, alongside 20 other Black Panthers. The Panther 21 were on trial for conspiracy to bomb police stations in New York. 

Latto Addresses Recent Comments About A Male Artist After Kodak Denied Responsibility

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Latto pulled up to the breakfast Club on Wednesday morning (Mar. 23), after her appearance on Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show earlier this week caused social media sleuths to go into overdrive. 

While discussing her upcoming album with Big Boy, she expressed the difficulty she experienced to clear the project. According to Latto, a male artist wanted sex in exchange for a feature. 

Following her revelation, internet detectives then honed in on the tracklist for 777 in an effort to determine the identity of said artist. Many settled on Kodak Black, who recently claimed his female artists must sleep with him to remain on his label.  

Kodak Black Denies Responsibility

Kodak Black then took to Twitter to deny the rumors stemming from the Latto interview. “That Mulatto Girl IS NOT Talkin Bout Me Homie 🤣” he penned. “I See Y’all Steady Reachin Lol … Shawty Ain’t Even Say A N#### Name On Dat S### Ion Know Why Tf Y’all Tryna Make A N#### Wear Dat Jacket I’m Too Fly Fa Dat S### Homie.” 

https://twitter.com/KodakBlack1k/status/1506150689478692865?s=20&t=Qpa8gsMgk5a95ikl1GuZ1A

Meanwhile, Latto explained she was simply sharing her experiences to warn up-and-coming female rappers. The ensuing whodunnit made her feel somewhat regretful.  

“My intention was not to make this a whole thing,” said Latto. “I just was looking at it as, like, I’m a new female rapper in the game, I wish somebody could have given me some insight about how this stuff really goes. You hear female rappers have it harder but I really wanted to give a little insight as to what specifically makes it harder for female rappers. I didn’t want it to distract from the music or anything so I kind of wish, in a way, I didn’t say that.”

As to the male artist she referred to in the original story, Latto revealed he has not contacted her. 

“I haven’t heard from them,” she said. “I’m not here to raise nobody… I’m just speaking on what I go through and I think I’m allowed to do that to a certain extent. Social media is trying to turn it into this thing where it’s like, oh, I’m trying to clout-chase or [they’re trying to] silence my experiences. It’s hard to know when you should and shouldn’t speak up.” Watch the full interview below.

Nas teams up with fellow New Yorker, A$AP Rocky in the visuals for “Wave Gods,” a nostalgia-driven video that gives viewers a glimpse of life at both ends of the wealth spectrum in the Big Apple. 

Taken from Nas and Hit-Boy’s latest collaborative effort, Magic, the gritty video sees Flako and Nasir go from sleeping on benches and scouring for change on the subway to living the high-life, exploring how their paths could have turned out differently. “Every choice you make, makes you,” flashes on screen at the opener, foreshadowing the events to come. 

Though incarcerated, the Wave God himself, Max B makes a cameo during the opening scene. “Nas, what’s good beloved?” he says on a voicemail. “Flack, what up beloved? Premo, I see you,” he says. “I’ma be home soon, god,” while a “Free Max B” poster hangs on the wall of the project apartment. Watch the video below.

Nas – “Wave Gods” feat. A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier

Magic is the third project the Queensbridge rapper created with producer Hit-Boy, following the King’s Disease albums. Nas, who refers to Hit-Boy as the Quincy Jones to his Michael Jackson, shared his surprised at just how successful the pairing has become.  

The duo planned to collaborate on a couple of tracks at the start of the global pandemic. “It just so happened that the world stopped just as we started doing the two songs,” Nas explained. “He kept on at me to come up to the studio and work, and he pushed me to make it work.

Nas continued, “I was already a fan of his work, so I knew if we got in a room we would do something cool. I knew there would be great s###, but I didn’t know if that would be one song, two songs, or five songs. I definitely didn’t know it would be an album,” he added.  

While they have delivered three studio albums in only 24 months, Nas feels under no pressure to continue at this pace. “It happened because it happened,” he said. “Like to drop two albums in a year, that was just the electricity in it, you know what I mean? That’s just how the energy was for me and Hit-Boy. So I mean, if anything I’m slowing it down a bit, maybe.” 

Nas teased a third King’s Disease project back in December so we could have another one on the way soon.

Bizarre is beyond hilarious. The D-12 member continues to be one of the best trolls ever.

Arby’s is known primarily as the place that serves up roast beef sandwiches, but they have undergone a whole rebrand. Part of that is jumping into the social media fray. Pusha-T recorded a diss song aimed at McDonalds after crafting their updated classic jingle. It did not take long, but Bizarre jumps in with an unsolicited reply.

MAJ3STY Stayed Indie After Leaving Sony Music Opportunity

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: Music
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Russ and now MAJ3STY, the game is changing. For decades it has been every independent artist’s dream to land a deal with a major label, but as years go by we see more and more artists capitalize on their independence.

Emerging Independent Recording Artist MAJ3STY is no novice to the game. An open intellect with a mission, vision, and purpose which is clear in his music. We did some digging and found out that MAJ3STY had an opportunity to have a distribution deal with Sony Music but walked away.

Here’s what he has to say:

The deal was never directly with Sony Music. There was a company that reached out to me, they specialized in artists development and asked me if I wanted representation. I was all for it. I saw that they were legit so, I went forward with it.

Unfortunately, I didn’t understand that paying this company in order to move forward with the deal, was part of the process. They had all of these pictures of the CEO, who I spoke to directly being in Sony Music’s building etc.

But right when Covid-19 hit I was getting ready to put out a single titled ‘Big Steppa.’ I sent the files and the requested information to the company and they sent it to Sony Music. My job after that was to wait for Sony Music to upload it on their end. One day before the release date I realized that I never heard from anyone. I saw the CEO and A&R of that middleman company on Instagram promoting other artists but, never heard from them.

I decided that since I was signed to my own label that I’m the CEO of and since I represent myself, through my label… I’ll put the song out. Allowing someone to mess up my vision wasn’t an option. I put it out, waited for them to reach out and never heard from them. I don’t like drama so, I’ll be respectful and won’t disclose the company’s name but, my views on Sony Music and that other company changed. My song went top 10 on the radio in Nigeria that same year, but I promised myself I wouldn’t focus on a major label deal after that.

I do hope that Sony Music and that other company does well and I’m grateful for the lesson that the experience taught me.

A year from now Manztrade sees himself making music with some of the biggest artists in the world and living his best life. Rapping is a unique talent and he believes that he is prepared to take it to the next level and really make it big and pursue the dreams he wishes to. 

Manztrade says coming into the industry he wants to be able to make a name for himself and have people know his music when it is heard. After all, he wants to be known for his music and what he did within the music industry when he is gone.  Manztrade speaks on his next moves as just working hard every day and not trying to look back on anything. A way to live life is to have no regrets and that is something that Manztrade strives for every single day. Although Manztrade enjoys listening to his own stuff that he has made, he enjoys the comfort of listening to other music and seeing what he can learn from these artists.

With all of that being said Manztrade is on the rise and needs to be watched, there is a lot of potential for the upcoming rapper, and with all of the work he continues to put in, he will be on top in no time.

J Max has revealed that music is his therapy to escape his feelings and it has become the one thing he really enjoys doing. “My lyrics are based on real things that happened in my life, so my listeners are guaranteed to get mindful, real music whenever I post new content,” he revealed.

Even though music has become his vehicle for fame and fame, J Max is still determined to make people happy and help them feel better about their lives. He wants to be a point of contact for people who need someone to turn to and inspire them. J Max has friends around him in the music industry and they inspire him to do more. Then, in turn, that pays off by projecting positivity and encouragement out into the world so people can pursue their dreams.

J Max’s five-year goals are to pursue his dreams, break down boundaries, destroy his goals, and work with bigger, more established artists. “As far as I’m concerned, there’s no limit to what I can do. After all, I’m young and  I still have a long journey ahead,” he noted.

Drake linked up with NBA star LeBron James to provide a major gift to a high school athlete’s mother.

The OVO rapper gave $100,000 to the mother of a basketball player named Michael, who attends Toronto’s Royal Crown Academy. Drake shared a video of his meeting with the family, which showed him and LeBron James surprising the student athlete’s mom with the cash.

“She’s grinding,” Drake said regarding Michael’s mother. “She’s working a bunch of jobs in the hopes that her son obviously does incredible things, which we pray he will. But we’re here tonight, me and LeBron, on behalf of Stake, to just try and make things a little easier. We’re gonna bless them tonight.”

Drake also donated $1 million to LeBron James Family Foundation after winning a big wager on the cryptocurrency betting website Stake. Earlier this month, he partnered with the Canadian site and announced plans to give away his winnings.

“Stake.com has always been about community,” its co-founder Ed Craven said. “That extends beyond our players to the wider public too, especially those who will benefit the most from acts of generosity and love like that shown by Drake.”

Wendy Williams Demands Her Money From Bank: “This Is Not Fair”

Wendy Williams vented about her struggles to regain control of her money on social media.

The former talk show host called out her former financial adviser and ex-manager in an Instagram video on Wednesday (March 23). Wendy Williams felt a need to tell her side of the story after Wells Fargo froze her bank accounts.

“I’m tired of everyone speaking as if they’re me in this scenario,” she wrote. “It’s time I let all of my loving supporters know what’s really been going on with Wendy.”

Wendy Williams blasted her former financial adviser Lori Schiller for allegedly refusing to answer questions about her money. She blamed Schiller for arguing the broadcaster’s of “unsound mind,” which led to Wells Fargo freezing the accounts.

“My thing is that I’ve been asking questions about my money and when I begin asking questions about my money, suddenly Lori Schiller has got no response regarding my money,” Wendy Williams explained. “I want my money. This is not fair.”

She continued, “And Wells Fargo has no questions and answers regarding my money. This is not fair. And Lori Schiller and Wells Fargo have this guardianship petition about keeping me away from my money. This is not right.”

Wendy Williams then turned her attention to her former manager Bernie Young.

“I know for a fact that Bernie Young used my American Express card to hire an attorney to file a petition against me,” she claimed. “That was done with my American Express card. Bernie Young, you’re no good.”

Wells Fargo froze Wendy Williams’ accounts over concerns about her state of mind. The bank contends she needs guardianship, which resulted in her taking Wells Fargo to court.

“Remove Kanye From Coachella!” Petition Has Almost Hits Its Goal Of 50K In One Week

Kanye West backlash continues to tsunami across pop culture. Now Anti-Ye’rs have launched a petition to get him kicked off the upcoming Coachella festival.

Organizers of the petition say the organizers should be “ashamed” for even considering him.

The “Remove Kanye from Coachella!” petition has gathered almost 40,000 signatures calling for organizers to boot the “DONDA” rapper off the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival performance roster.

“We have watched Kanye harass, manipulate, and hurt Kim, Pete, and others for over a year now,” said Caramello Marie, who started the petition. 

“No one seems to want to stand up to him, and the ones that do, he puts under fire as well. Most recently, he has been threatening actual bodily harm on others,” Marie fumed. “This is ridiculous that he is allowed to freely do this.”

As reported by AllHipHop.com, the billionaire multi-hyphenate has weaponized (or evangelized) social media over the last year.

Some days, the artist who has bipolar disorder, is making overtures to get his family back, and other days he is blasting the Kardashians and those associated with them for keeping him apart from his children.

He has also threatened his ex-wife’s new boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson.

The copy continued with the stinging reprimand of the festival’s producers and promoters. It said, “Coachella (along with other brand names that are still working with him) should be ashamed of themselves and should not be giving him any more of a platform.”

The Change.org petition was started a week ago by Carmello Marie, a fanatical Kim, and Pete stan, who manages the Instagram Page KimandPeteUpdates.

Marie’s goal is to reach 50,000 names, and the achievement has almost been realized. In response to this petition, Tory Lanez has jumped up to Yeezy’s defense and started his own petition.

Our publication reported the “ChixTapes” chart-topper started the “Keep Our Black Men On Coachella” petition. He promoted the petition on his Twitter on Tuesday, March 22nd, saying, “I Just made this … because someone has to.”

Coachella, as of this publishing, has not decided whether to keep Kanye or follow the Grammy’s lead and boot him from their upcoming concert.
