50 Cent? Not Even…
FILE - In this May 17, 2015 file photo, 50 Cent arrives at the Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Someone else's sex tape is proving to be costly for 50 Cent: A jury ordered the rapper-actor Friday, July 10, 2015, to pay $5 million to a woman who said he acquired a video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission. Born Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent burst to the fore of gangsta rap with 2003ís ìGet Rich or Die Tryin,íî its lead single, ìIn Da Club,î and a tough life story that included having been shot nine times.

50 Cent? Not Even…

In Case U Missed It

 

Feud between Lil Wayne and Bird Man continues

Just in case you have missed out on this one, a few weeks ago the two masterminds in the music industry have fallen off the friendship boat. Ok, don’t be one bit confused, here is a short run down of the scoop. The 49-year-old Bryan Williams, popularly known as Bird Man is an executive producer and co-owner of the Cash Money Records label; said label in which lil Wayne was first signed before constructing his own Young Money, which is still affiliated with Cash Money.

All things were going fine until just a few weeks ago Lil Wayne threatened to leave the label with the complaint of not garnering the full profits of his work. So, you know how entertainers are always bragging that they do not mix business with their personal life…listen, let’s just throw that out the window for a minute! The two showed up at a club last night in celebration of rapper Jim Jones’ birthday, and while Lil Wayne was on stage performing CoCo, it was reported that Bird Man threw a cup of liquor at him then his entourage joined shortly after.

Hunger Games Amandla Stenberg bashes Kylie Jenner for sporting cornrows

As far as we know, Kylie Jenner’s hair is ‘icy blue’, so when the 17-year-old star posted a photo of her on Instagram sporting cornrows, it stirs a little bit of controversy, especially among the black community. The 16-year-old Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg left the comment on Jenner’s photo saying, “when you appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position and power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of Police brutality or racism”. Jenner responded with “Mad if I don’t, Mad if I do…go hang w Jaden or something”… well there you have it TEENation.

50 Cent is broke

The 40-year-old rapper Curtis Jackson, popularly known as 50 Cent has filed for BANKRUPTCY! Well, some of you might be a little too young to remember this, but 50 Cent was big news back in the day, and had us all rocking to the hits like Candy Shop. Now, this bankruptcy news is really some serious business, as it was reported that he is in up to $50 million in debt. Makes us wonder though, is this the same 50 Cent who Forbes named this year on hip hop’s top 5 wealthiest? Also, this makes us wonder if this is the same rapper who garnered over $100 million in 2007 for all those famous commercials with Coco-Cola, among others. I mean 2007 was not just yesterday, but $ 100 million among other capital that was earned by the rapper is a lot of cash to blow off in eight years…don’t you think?
