As if Meek Mill didn’t already have his hands full enough with Drake, the Philly emcee has decided to take on yet another adversary in G-Unit head honcho 50 Cent. Perhaps an off-shoot of 50’s ongoing back and forth with MMG boss Rick Ross, Meek’s rumble with the Jamaica, Queens mogul has gotten really personal…

50 Cent clashing with a celebrity is nothing new. Over the years, the G-Unit captain has literally made a sport of verbal jousting with a long list of celebrities but he may have jumped the gun in his tiff with baseball great Derek Jeter. Earlier this week, news spread that Jeter breached a contract with…

For all of his antics and tough talk, no one can say that 50 Cent doesn’t have a heart. The G-Unit general donated $10K to the breast cancer organization Passion for Pink at their fundraiser held over the weekend. The non-profit is founded and ran by the mother of “Wild N’ Out‘s” Hitman Holla, Sevmek Fulton, a…

On a balmy night in mid-August, R&B stars Avant and Vivian Green — with some help from newcomer Rotimi — reminded an invite-only group of music fans that R&B is still definitely in the building.

50 Cent explained how G-Unit was able to get back on the same page and revealed that he would build his brand differently if he could do it all over again.

During a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, 50 was asked about any animosity he had towards former G-Unit starlet, Olivia. When Charlamagne mentioned that Olivia had recently been on the show and said that Fiddy took issue with her working with Missy Elliott, 50 denied her claims–and added that the truth was she and Missy had become more than collaborators.

Some may view Bang ‘Em Smurf as a disgruntled ex-crew member who hates on his former crew, while others believe he has detailed inside knowledge of the G-Unit family and is just telling it like it is. So when 50 Cent shocked the world and reunited his G-Unit crew for Hot 97’s Summer Jam and…

Haven’t had enough of Summer Jam 2014? Here are some more pics from this year’s biggest hip-hop concert

Nicki Minaj showed love to her YMCMB mates, Nas revisited “Illmatic” and G-Unit unexpectedly reunited at Summer Jam 2014

Summer Jam featured Nicki Minaj showing love to her Young Money, Nas and T.I. showing support to the younger generation and 50 Cent showing that he can put the past behind him.

In this month’s issue of GQ, rapper 50 Cent addresses several ongoing controversies in his life: his relationship with his son, his former friends Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, and Diddy. In the interview, 50 also explains why he thinks romantic relationships fail.

50 Cent seems to get satisfaction from putting down his former G-Unit compadres and childhood friends Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks. 50 has made it clear that he no longer is close to his old buddies, and in a recent interview with MTV, he casually mocked their recent appearances on singles by Troy Ave., one of New York City’s most promising young rappers. Yayo guested on “Show Me Love” and Banks made an appearance on “Your Style.”

Rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent opened up about his estrangement from two of his oldest friends, and how his attitude contributed to the estrangement. The deterioration of the relationship between G-Unit–specifically, the core trio of childhood friends 50, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, has made for several hip-hop headlines over the past year. Yayo has been open about the fact that 50 isn’t very close to his former co-horts, and 50 revealed recently that he mis-handled a situation with Lloyd Banks, in particular, when his friend lost his father.

Last month Tony Yayo went on a social media tangent alluding to the fact that G-Unit was over and hinted at 50 Cent being disloyal to him and Lloyd Banks. Well it took a few weeks, but 50 recently addressed those allegations. Because you knew he would, right? During a recent interview with Billboard while…

This week, after months and maybe years of speculation, the end of 50 Cent’s G-Unit crew appears to be official. The hip-hop star departed his longtime Interscope label, taking his G-Unit label independent. He signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG, and he is expected to release a new album called Animal Ambition on June 3rd. But in the wake of his announced departure from Interscope, 50’s old G-Unit cohort Tony Yayo made statements in an interview that indicated that G-Unit was long over as a hip-hop group and, most importantly, as a collective of old friends.

“It was all good just a week ago…” Just last week, Tony Yayo posted a Throwback Thursday picture on Instagram of himself, 50 Cent, and Lloyd Banks and said that the trio was “working.” Things certainly have changed within the last week as the “So Seductive” rapper is now singing a different tune. According to…

Police have made an arrest and revealed the motive in the killing of former G-Unit rapper Mazaradi Fox last month. It is believed that accused shooter Jamal Scott targeted Fox in retaliation for the 1998 murder of his younger brother. According to The Daily News, Fox, real name Jamal Green, got into an argument and instructed…
