Trick Daddy Arrested For Cocaine, DUI

By: IllseedCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Trick Daddy is in trouble with the law again after he was arrested for cocaine and DUI early Saturday morning.

The rapper was allegedly driving erratically to the point where he was hitting street signs according to a report from the Miami Herald. 

When the police pulled him over, they noticed his red eyes and slurred speech and that lead to a full, immediate investigation. 

The rapper apparently failed a sobriety test and was arrested. 

After he was taken to the Hammocks District Station, police allegedly found cocaine rolled up inside of some currency. The rapper also has a warrant for his arrest for another, separate DUI. 

Trick Daddy’s bond was set at $6,000. 

The rapper has had a resurgence of sorts recently. 

He is a prominent fixture on “Love & Hip-Hop Miami” and hosts a radio show with frequent collaborator Trina. He also filed for bankruptcy in October and owes creditors over $800k.

Mally Mall Sued Over Assault During Drug-Fueled Orgy

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Former “Love and Hip Hop” star Mally Mall has been sued for sexually assaulting a woman.

In the lawsuit, the woman claims she found herself in an orgy-like nightmare after she went to Mally Mall’s home for a business talk.

The 26-year-old woman, Quashay Davis, is a fitness and clothing model.

Davis claims that in January 2019, she flew to LA from Dallas to meet with Mally to discuss her career.

When in the house, he introduced her to Jayla Foxx, a former p### star. Davis claims that Mally when lying in bed told Jayla to get her a mixed drink with Hennessey.

It was brought to the bedroom. In the lawsuit which TMZ obtained, Davis says that she blacked out when she drank it and she only remembers waking up being massaged by a masseuse.

Mally was there when she woke up and he slapped her so she could remain conscious and said: “You are my new b##ch” and that she was his Jayla number two.

He tried to get her to do cocaine, forced her to do oral sex on him and then penetrated her roughly.

When she asked Mally to stop, he added more weight and she “feared for her life.”

In the lawsuit, Quashay Davis says both Mally and Jayla affirmed they had added molly (ecstasy) to her drink.

She was in and out the whole day and eventually woke up in a “hypersexualized environment” surrounded by naked women.

Her attempt to escape failed as Mally threatened and insulted her. She escaped the next day after Mall passed out.

Jayla took to urgent care where it was found she had injuries related to rape.

Quashay Davis is suing for sexual battery, gender violence, false imprisonment and infliction of physical and emotional distress.

Mally Mall has denied the claims and says he’s being extorted.

EXCLUSIVE: Trey Songz Sex Assault Accuser Hiding Identity Because She’s Muslim

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) The Jane Doe accuser who says Trey Songz assaulted her on New Year’s Day of 2018 is hiding her identity, because of her religion.

On January 2, 2020, Jane Doe filed a $10 million against Trey Songz over an incident on New Year’s Day – in 2018.

She claims Trey Songz he assaulted her at E11even Nightclub after a night on the town celebrating New Year’s Eve.

Jane Doe says Trey reached his hand up her skirt and attempted to insert his fingers into her v##### through her panties without her consent or permission.

Last week the judge hearing the complaint admonished the woman for not following the proper legal procedure to be granted permission to file as a Jane Doe.

The woman has replied to the judge’s scolding, and she offered up some interesting information about the multi-million dollar legal battle.

Jane Doe is asking a judge to grant her permission to shield her name from the public, because she is a “Muslim woman” who comes from a “very devout Muslim family.”

The unidentified woman says she grew up in Trinidad and immigrated to the United States in 2014.

She said she is filing as a Jane Doe because she comes from a strict Muslim household.

“Under our cultural beliefs and traditions such a sexual assault would have the tendency to bring shame and humiliation upon my family,” Jane Doe wrote.

“As a result of these beliefs, I have yet to even tell my family about the incident involved in the Complaint in an effort to protect them,” Jane Doe revealed.

According to Jane Doe, she thinks she could be subjected to violence at the hands of Islamic extremist groups and the singer’s fans too.

“I not only fear the reprisals affiliated with my religion, but what would also come through the fans of the Defendants if my name were disclosed,” Jane Doe said.

Jane Doe is worried Trey Songz’ fans will bully her, harass her and leak her telephone number, address and even her job information.

The woman said she has already read statements and comments online which have branded her a ‘liar’ a ‘ho’ and “other false and untrue things.”

Jane Doe told Judge Ursula Ungaro that the online comments are already destroying her self-esteem “and continue to pour salt on what are still presently open wounds” at the hands of Trey Songz.

Jane Doe is asking Judge Ursula Ungaro to allow her to remain anonymous. 

Will Smith And Martin Lawrence Refused To Do Stunts In New “Bad Boys” Movie

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Will Smith and Martin Lawrence abandoned plans to complete all the stunt work in the new “Bad Boys” movie after realizing they were no match for action professionals.

The comedy pals have reunited for “Bad Boys For Life,” the long-awaited third and final film in the buddy cop franchise, which began in 1995 and continued with the 2003 sequel, “Bad Boys II.”

Smith, 51, initially wanted the duo to take on as much of the action work as possible, just like the old days, but it didn’t take the stars long to admit they were no longer cut out for the physical toll of the stunt scenes.

“The big change for us (from previous films) was probably the amount of stunt work,” Will shared in a joint interview on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America.

“When I started, I was like, ‘We doing all the stunts, we doing everything, every one of these Bad Boys, 25 years later, all the stunts!’ Then like, probably three days in, I looked over to (Lawrence), and was like, ‘Hey, what you thinking?’

“He was like, ‘Yeah, we should probably let the stuntmen earn they money!’”

Lawrence, 54, acknowledges his larger frame is partly to blame for his lack of fitness but jokes that packing on the pounds was all in preparation to reprise his role as veteran Miami Police Department Detective Marcus Burnett, who becomes a grandfather in the new film.

“I’m a lot heavier (compared to the previous installments),” he said. “I put on a little more pounds but it’s for the role…! Method acting!”

Smith, who plays his onscreen partner, Detective Mike Lowrey, quipped, “I was like, ‘Oh, Martin’s really into this character!’”

“Bad Boys For Life” opens in theaters next week.

Oprah Winfrey Steps Away From Russell Doc

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop Rumors) Oprah Winfrey has decided to leave a documentary that is allegedly going to metaphorically put Russell Simmons on trial.

“I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on The Untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering documentary and it will not air on Apple TV+,” the billionaire mogul told The Hollywood Reporter.

She expounded on why she decided not to continue, focusing on the need for a more comprehensive look at sexual abuse, harassment and rape.

”First and foremost, I want it to be known that I unequivocally believe and support the women. Their stories deserve to be told and heard. In my opinion, there is more work to be done on the film to illuminate the full scope of what the victims endured, and it has become clear that the filmmakers and I are not aligned in that creative vision Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering are talented filmmakers. I have great respect for their mission but given the filmmakers’ desire to premiere the film at the Sundance Film Festival before I believe it is complete, I feel it’s best to step aside,” Winfrey continued. “I will be working with Time’s Up to support the victims and those impacted by abuse and sexual harassment.”

Time’s Up Foundation president and CEO Tina Tchen responded in a terse statement. 

“Time’s Up is in full support of the survivors who have spoken out about Russell Simmons. These women are brave. We believe them. We support Oprah Winfrey in maintaining that the victims’ stories deserve to be heard on their own terms. Too often, Black women are silenced, disbelieved, or even vilified when they speak out. On top of that, for years, these women have been attacked by powerful forces surrounding Russell Simmons – illustrating how difficult it is to speak out against powerful men. And how important it is for powerful men to be held accountable for their actions. As Oprah made clear in her statement, any decision by her and Apple regarding this documentary does not change the underlying facts. We assert Time’s Up’s unwavering support for these survivors. We are in awe of their courage and strength. We will continue to fight for them, and we will continue to fight for a future where Black women are truly heard and believed.”

Donald Glover’s#### Series “Atlanta” Isn’t Returning Until Next Year

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Donald Glover’s#### FX series “Atlanta” won’t be returning to screens until next year.

The comedy-drama TV show’s second series last aired in May 2018, and FX’s CEO John Landgraf explained at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour on Thursday (January 9th) a third season won’t debut until January 2021.

He said seasons three and four of the show will film back-to-back, and noted, “Some of our best shows didn’t air (in 2019),” also referencing Fargo and American Crime Story, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

However, it’s not all bad news for Atlanta fans, as Landgraf insisted the show will continue to run “as long as Donald wants to make it.”

Atlanta, also starring Brian Tyree Henry, portrays two cousins navigating the Atlanta rap scene to improve their lives and the lives of their families. 

Joe Budden Thinks Ari Lennox Is A Bit “Insecure” Following Rottweiler Comparison

By: Simone GrantCategory: Rumors

And he’s back! This time with another opinion on a very sensitive subject many black women in today’s society face.

If you haven’t heard, Ari Lennox was recently compared to a Rottweiler on social media. This really hurt her feelings so she went to Instagram live in tears to let out her sentiments. She calls out those who feel comfortable tearing down black women and no other race.

Social media had a lot to say about the situation and many sided with her. Colorism and the degrading of black women is something that is negatively powerful in our community. So when Ari saw comments made about her looks, I guess it triggered something in her to spew her words against those who talk negatively on black women.

According to Joe Budden, he agrees with what Ari says about black women, but feels she is a bit insecure. He feels that if Ari believes that black is truly beautiful than there should be no reason she should use her “energy, platform, and power” to reply to any negative comments. 

The discussion with Joe can be seen on The Joe Budden Podcast below around the 2:00 minute mark. 

What y’all think? Are you siding with Joe on this? 

EXCLUSIVE: 50 Cent Planning To Track Down Rick Ross In Georgia

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent’s pursuit of Miami rapper Rick Ross will intensify this month.

The G-Unit boss has been attempting to serve Rick Ross with papers, so he can be deposed in an ongoing battle with a law firm over a leaked sex tape.

50’s lawyers just shot back at Reed Smith’s claims last week that he was using his fruitless attempts to depose Rick Ross as a stall tactic as their $32 million battle winds through the court.

50’s lawyers claim Rick Ross, born William Leonard Roberts II, has been avoiding process servers, who have been traveling coast-to-coast in an attempt to subpoena the rapper five different times with no luck.

“[50 Cent] has retained local counsel in the Northern District of Georgia and is in the process of preparing to file a Motion to Compel Ross’ compliance with the Ross Subpoena in that District,” Imran H. Ansari, Esq. confirmed.

50 Cent is at war with his former lawyers at Reed Smith and he’s suing the law firm for $32 million.

The rapper claims Reed Smith failed to properly defend him in a lawsuit filed by Rick Ross’s ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston.

50 Cent filed for bankruptcy in July of 2015 after he was ordered to pay $7 million to Leviston after he was found liable for posting the sex tape with his critique.

50 Cent maintains the sex tape first popped up on a website he believes was affiliated with Rick Ross which was located at ThisIsSabrinaSin.Ning.Com.

50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, is asking a judge to grant a motion allowing him time to track down Rick Ross, so he can testify in court before January 31st. 

EXCLUSIVE: Judge Shoots Down Tekashi 69 Kidnapper’s Bid For New Trial

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) A judge just ruined the hopes of the man who kidnapped rapper Tekashi 69 after striking down his an appeal for a new trial after an “odd” verdict issued by the jury.

Anthony “Harv” Ellison was convicted of kidnapping the rapper after the rap star testified against him during a sensational trial in October.

The rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, confirmed Ellison was the one who pistol-whipped, robbed and kidnapped him during the height of an internal conflict over control of his career between members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Ellison was eventually convicted of maiming and assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering, but he was acquitted of assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering.

Ellison’s lawyer Deveraux L. Cannick blasted the verdict as “utterly incompatible with one another” and filed an appeal in December of 2019.

But U.S. prosecutor Geoffrey S. Berman sharply disagreed with Cannick and urged Judge Paul Englemayer to dismiss Ellison’s attempt for a new trial in December.

Berman said that the violent string of events between Ellison and Kifano “Shotti” Jordan over the direction of 6ix9ine’s career provided enough evidence to support the jury’s verdict.

“The evidence showed that Ellison slashed Mark Hobdy in the face in retaliation for other Nine Trey members shooting Ellison’s friend. Hernandez testified that he was told by Jordan and another Nine Trey member known to Hernandez as ‘Gunz’ that Gunz shot at Ellison and hit

another person, paralyzing him,” Geoffrey S. Berman revealed.

“Ellison and Sha committed the July 22, 2018 robbery and kidnapping of Hernandez – and forced Hernandez to admit that he was not ‘Billy’ – in order to increase Ellison’s standing within Nine Trey and to challenge

Kifano Jordan’s leadership,” Geoffrey S. Berman revealed. “This dispute between Ellison and Jordan continued into October 2018, as Jordan authorized others to shoot at Ellison’s associates in Smurf Village,

which in turn, resulted in Ellison committing the October 24 slashing in retaliation.”

Today, (January 10th) Judge Paul Englemayer sided with prosecutors and ruled the evidence overwhelmingly proved that Ellison kidnapped the rap star while explaining the discrepancy with jurors’ conclusion.

“[Tekashi 69] testified that the kidnapping had been effectuated by a gun, as indeed the videotape (which reflected the display of guns by Ellison and collaborator “Sha”) and Rivera’s testimony confirmed. But Hernandez notably did not testify that the assault on his person, causing facial contusions, had been effectuated with a gun.”

Anthony “Harv” Ellison is slated to be sentenced on February 26th, 2020. 

Cassidy Takes Massive Loss In Recent Battle!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Those of us of a certain age remember when Cassidy and Freeway battled. A pair of young Philly rappers that were at the pinnacle of their game. Freeway was down with The Roc and Cass was down with Swizz Beatz…or soon-to-be. Either way, Cass was on the come up and he was known to be a fierce battler in the field of Hip-Hop. That was a very long time ago…over 10 at the very least. Anyway. the homie Cass is basically the blueprint for the URL-type of a battle rapper. But, fast-forward to 2020, the genre has taken on a life of its own. 

It is well known that the youth eat the old in rap, and this has not changed. Now, Cass is the OG and there are scores of younger rappers that are feasting on him. The last is Arsenal, the NY rapper. I didn’t even know they were battling until after it happened. The streets have told me that the former young bull has taken yet another L. They did not mince words when talking about it. 

The crowd seemed to boo Cass. 

Now, let me be clear: I like Cassidy. I am sure he likes rapping still. He ain’t wack. But, this is the thing: THE GAME HAS CHANGED. He’s going to have to change up or else he will always be a stepping stone for these young professional battlers. I will pray for him. 

This all went down in Philly by the way. It looks like Freeway, Gillie and other Philly greats were in the house. How ironic. 

At one point, Arsenal put his hands on Cassidy and it looked like it may turn into a real fight. Look at it below.

Check this out…remember that Cassidy has actual songs. 

Tupac Shakur Death Car Expected To Fetch Millions

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The car that rapper Tupac Shakur was shot in has gone on sale for a staggering $1.7 million.

The 1996 BMW 7 Series motor has been painstakingly restored after Tupac was gunned down in it in Las Vegas on September 7th, 1996, and still sports bullet holes from the four gunshots.

The star died, aged 25, six days after the attack.

Now a dealer based in Sin City, Celebrity Cars Las Vegas, is selling the car, which comes with a certificate of authentication showing it was originally leased by Death Row Records – which was founded by Suge Knight and legendary producer Dr. Dre.

The vehicle’s identification number also matches the one noted on the original lease documents.

After Tupac’s murder, Las Vegas Police officials reportedly sold the vehicle at auction, and it then passed through the hands of several collectors. Representatives for the current owners are seeking a $20,000 refundable deposit from any interested buyers ahead of the sale.

On the day of Tupac’s death, he was traveling with Suge Knight, who was driving the car, from a Mike Tyson boxing match to a party at Club 662, when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside the pair at traffic lights.

Tupac, who was in the passenger seat, was hit by four bullets, with one puncturing his lung. His murder remains unsolved.

EXCLUSIVE: R. Kelly’s Lawyer Says Singer Can Only Write Phonetically And Is Not A Threat To Witnesses

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly’s lawyer has shot back at prosecutors’ claims the singer may be intending to threaten two possible witnesses in his RICO case for allegedly intimidating young girls and transporting them across state lines for sex.

Last month, U.S. prosecutors opposed R. Kelly’s lawyer’s effort to reveal the names of two women known only as Jane Doe 2 and Jane Doe 3 in a new superseding 12-count indictment filed against the singer in December of 2019.

Lead prosecutor Richard P. Donoghue argued that the imprisoned singer has the means to threaten the women, through his network of enablers, which supposedly includes a network of managers and other associates.

His counsel Steven A. Greenberg just filed new documents declaring R. Kelly can “only write phonetically” and poses no risk to any of the women included in the 12-count RICO case.

“At the time of his arrest Mr. Kelly was living in a small condominium, working with his longtime producer, without other employees of note, and effectively without any income. He had no “enterprise” as the government likes to call his career and his business, RSK Enterprises,” Steven A. Greenberg told Judge Ann M. Donnelly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqU9DbCaC5Y

Greenberg also pushed back against Donoghue’s claim that R. Kelly may want to harass the women “in order to try to avoid spending a significant period of time in prison.”

“Mr. Kelly remains in custody at the federal jail in Chicago. All of his phone calls are monitored,” Greenberg argued. “All of his mail is monitored. Other than legal counsel his only visitor is his girlfriend, Joycelyn. He simply has no means or method by which to engage in any obstructive conduct.”

The singer’s lawyer is also protesting Donoghue’s plan to reveal the names of the witnesses just two weeks before the trial, since R. Kelly has no clue as to who the two women could be.

“The defense cannot conduct any investigation or adequately prepare for trial without knowing who each of the supposed ‘victims’ are. It is impossible to interview witnesses, to search for records, or to do anything without this information,” Steven A. Greenberg complained to Judge Donnelly, who has yet to rule.

The court action caps off wild week for R. Kelly, who turned 53-years-old on January 8th.

The same day, his alleged sex slave Joycelyn Savage was hit with misdemeanor domestic battery after allegedly punching another victim named Azriel Clary in the face inside of the singer’s apartment in the Trump Tower in Chicago.

EXCLUSIVE: Damon Dash Set To Battle $50 Million Sexual Battery Allegations In June

By: Nolan StrongCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) Damon Dash will be hitting court this month in the first of a series of hearings over a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit.

Judge Jed S. Rakoff ordered all parties involved in the case to a mandatory hearing, which is scheduled for January 24th in New York.

Damon is being sued by a photographer named Monique Bunn, who has accused the Roc-A-Fella founder of fondling her after a photo shoot for his Poppington company in April of 2019.

Bunn maintains she spent the night at Damon’s house after a long day of work.

Her complaint claims she was awakened to the Roc-A-Fella founder, who was allegedly rocking a robe with no underwear, rubbing her breasts and buttocks without permission.

Monique Brown, who is an accomplished photographer, also claims Damon Dash kept a valuable hard drive with over 25 years worth of photos, which he is allegedly using on his social media feeds without permission.

Damon Dash denied all of the allegations in the lawsuit on Instagram account, where he has been railing against Christopher Brown for “extortion.”

Damon believes Christopher Brown is deliberately targeting him with lawsuits since the lawyer is also representing a filmmaker named Josh Webber in a battle over ownership of the movie “Dear Frank” aka “The List.”

Things grew so heated in that case, Damon Dash was sanctioned by the court for his angry verbal attacks on Christopher Brown during a deposition and Brown, attempted and failed to get a gag order on the Dame Dash Studios founder.

According to Judge Jed S. Rakoff, a trial date has been set for June 24th, 2020.

Common, Usher, Alicia Keys & Others To Lead Grammy’s All-Star Tribute To Prince

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Common, Alicia Keys, John Legend and Usher are among the stars set to honor Prince in a special tribute concert.

Beck, Foo Fighters, H.E.R., Earth, Wind & Fire, St. Vincent, Mavis Staples, Chris Martin, Gary Clark, Jr. and Juanes also feature on the line-up for “Let’s Go Crazy:”

The Grammy Salute to Prince, which will be held January 28th – two days after the Grammy Awards – at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and will be broadcast in April.

The star’s percussionist Sheila E. will serve as the night’s musical director, alongside the “Purple Rain” hitmaker’s longtime associates, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

“I was very honored to be able to do this for so many reasons, but to be able to help celebrate the life of a dear friend and be a part of this and be musical director is awesome,” she told Rolling Stone.

“Musically, there’s so much to choose from. It’s almost unfair to do a two-hour tribute to him — we could do a full week. At the end of the day, it’s him bringing people together and having a good time.”

In a statement, Recording Academy President/CEO Deborah Dugan said: “Regardless of how you identify (Prince), he is indisputably one of the greatest musical virtuosos of all time.

“He continues to serve as an inspirational icon for artists and fans worldwide, and we are so honored to pay tribute to his legacy.”

50 Cent Plans To Sue French Montana! See Why!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) 50 Cent and French Montana have started the year off in a most petty way. They were fighting over a car that was worth millions. Me? I am out there with my Ford putt-putting along! Anyway, the sad fact is they are rich beyond my wildest dreams and yet, doing the most for the world to see.  

As I told you, French did something in retaliation that I didn’t like. He put a spoiler of 50’s#### show “Power” on his Instagram before the airing of the show. I didn’t see it until after I saw the show so I didn’t care. But, Fofty cares! 

Sadly, this has now devolved into a legal case with French and 50 Cent. 50 Cent is looking to go at French legally for posting the image of one of the main characters burn to a crisp! I hope you saw it! MediaTakeOut has the scoop, “What French did was outrageous and illegal, we’re going after him. It’s pretty cut and dry, from a legal standpoint. He’s going to have to pay millions for this.”

What is crazier is that French has not taken down the clip in question yet. I guess it is too late, so here it is if you wanna see it. 

French has been calling 50 everything from rat to dinosaur. I wonder if “this is 50’s” way of making him pay for the insults? Last time I reported on this the homie French was about to take it to Fiddy lyrically. Now, he is going to make a battle rap for the courtroom. Perhaps he needs to hire The Cochran Firm!

Oh boy…..

R. Kelly’s Alleged Sex Slave Joycelyn Savage Charged For Brawl With Azriel Clary

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly’s girlfriend Joycelyn Savage has been charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after allegedly punching one of the incarcerated singer’s former lovers at his Chicago, Illinois home.

Savage is accused of punching Azriel Clary in the face on Wednesday (January 8th) after Kelly’s ex stopped by the Trump Tower apartment to collect her belongings.

Police were called to the property to investigate the incident, which ended with Clary requiring hospital treatment for a red and swollen left eye.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3gDBq6yFl0

Savage fled the scene before officers could question her, but she subsequently surrendered to cops later that night, and was arrested and booked for the altercation.

She was hauled before a judge on Thursday morning, and was allowed to walk free after promising to return to court for her next hearing on January 23rd.

The incident occurred on Kelly’s 53rd birthday, which he marked while being held behind bars without bail.

Kelly was arrested last year on a 13-count federal indictment for sexual abuse in Chicago, while he is also facing a racketeering and sex trafficking trial in New York.

He has pleaded not guilty to all allegations.

50 Cent Trashes Nick Cannon And Ends Feud On Eminem’s Behalf

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent urged Eminem to set aside his feud with Nick Cannon.

The “Lose Yourself” hitmaker fired insults at Cannon’s ex-wife Mariah Carey in his verse on Fat Joe and Dre’s track “Lord Above,” which led the TV personality to respond with a series of diss tracks in December

Eminem retorted by calling the star a “bougie f##k” on Twitter but decided not to take the spat further.

Now 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, is claiming the cool down is largely due to his intervention.

“I told him don’t even say nothing to him,” 50 Cenr The Wrap. “The (Cannon) record is terrible.”

He added: “You can’t argue with a fool. When you understand that a person is not registering even when they’re losing, then the argument goes forever. So you should just stop.”

Mariah began feuding with Eminem after he claimed he once had a relationship with her – which she has always denied.

In 2009, she released the hit “Obsessed,” about a man who claims to be having a relationship with her, and he fired back with the track “The Warning” later that year.

Nick Cannon replied on Instagram with a pretty basic reply, considering his inflammatory post calling 50 and Uncle Tom in the past.
