Derek Jeter Left Frigo Underwear Because 50 Cent Joined; 50 Responds

When 50 Cent joined the Frigo underwear team as a brand ambassador in 2013, Derek Jeter reportedly felt some type of way and jumped ship. Now, Frigo is suing the former NY Yankees player for $4.7 million for the monies lost when he abruptly left, TMZ reports.

Jeter agreed to serve as the president of the Swedish company for three years in 2011. In 2013, Jeter didn’t want his affiliation with the company to be made public when they were trying to launch in the U.S. So, Frigo tapped 50 as the brand ambassador to assist with the move, which didn’t sit well with Jeter. He decided to then part ways because he reportedly felt that Fif being associated with the brand would make it too “urban.”

Did Billboard Purposely Omit Tupac From Their “10 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” List For Publicity?

Yet another publication has come under fire for one of it’s “Greatest Of All Time” lists. It seems like publications and television programs such as VH1’s “Greatest” lists fall short and receive much backlash sometimes. Hip Hop fans have been letting the two authors of Billboard’s “10 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” article, Steven J. Horowitz and Alex Gale, have it. These lists are all subjective, and there are plenty of rappers that were omitted from this list. It’s debatable about which ones should’ve made the cut. The snub that has outraged rap fans the most is the omission of Tupac Shakur. To be honest, it would’ve been disrespectful to have him at No. 10, but to leave him off the list completely is absurd! This leads me to believe that Billboard may have done this on purpose to spark controversy and get those hits up. Surely they did most of this list to get people talking. Who would you add and remove from Billboard’s list?

10. Lil Wayne
9. Kendrick Lamar
8. Ghostface Killah
7. Lauryn Hill
6. Andre 3000
5. Nas
4. Rakim
3. Eminem
2. Jay Z
1. The Notorious B.I.G.

Did Ja Rule Influence Drake?

People just won’t let Ja Rule live or be great. Despite his contribution to Hip Hop, he is still on the receiving end of jokes about his beef with 50 Cent, his opinions in his interviews, and the decline in his career. Earlier this year he stated that he won the first round in his beef with 50 Cent. Many didn’t agree with that. Ja Rule said something on The Breakfast Club not too long ago that made us go hmmmmmm,

“No one said Drake is like Tupac. They kind of say Drake is like Ja Rule,” he said.

Do you see the Ja Rule influence in Drake? Ja must be referring to his “singing” and rapping sound/style. Did anyone get bodied by singing n- Ja?
