Rapper and professional hypeman 50 Cent and DJ Khaled are officially on good terms, and baseball legend Reggie Jackson helped make it happen. The two were spotted earlier this week in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where they were about to hit the golf course together. As they linked up, 50 and Khaled hugged it out and dapped each other up, showing they’d squashed their beef.
Khaled reached in for a dap and said, “Nothing but love and respect.”. The two had been throwing shots at each other for years, with 50 Cent especially trolling Khaled on social media. But it looks like Reggie Jackson, who’s close with both, stepped in and got them to make peace. He’s known for being a leader, both on the field and off, and he helped bring the two together.
Now that they’ve buried the hatchet, fans are hoping this is the start of them working together. It’s a reminder that sometimes the right person can help people let go of old beefs and move forward, especially in the world of hip-hop.
50 Cent has been keeping busy with his newest endeavor, his own residency in Las Vegas. He’s been hitting one of the city’s hottest venues with a series of shows, where he’s been performing his classic hits and bringing that high-energy vibe fans love. It’s a big move for 50, showing he’s not just a rapper but a full-on entertainer. With his acting and business game already strong, this Las Vegas residency is just another flex in his legendary career. If you’re a 50 fan, you don’t want to miss this—he’s about to turn up in the Vegas spotlight.

Just when it seemed like Cam’ron might have put an end to his unforeseen drama with Jim Jones with his epic rant on It Is What It Is, 50 Cent decided to egg on the drama as he’s known to add fuel to whatever fire is burning within his vicinity.
Though Cam stated that he would no longer entertain any back-and-forth with Jim after speaking on the matter, 50 Cent made no such promises and is still looking to troll the former Dipset Capo for talking greasy about him. Taking to the Gram to continue to poke fun at Jim Jones, 50 Cent posted a clip of Cam’s now famous clapback at Jim Jones’ credibility and in the caption wrote, “Individual 1, I mean joMo, jimmy you better holla at Cam privately and chill out.”

Referring to him as “Individual 1” is a shot at Jones, as 50 has accused him of cooperating with feds in the entire Tekashi 6ix9ine investigation that led to the arrest of multiple Blood members in Tekashi’s former circle. He even included a shot of Mase eating popcorn on the sideline with a caption that read, “This is the worst part of the video LOL HARLEM !”

While Jones was noticeably silent after Cam’s video made the rounds on social media, it seems like the man was cooking up a little response in the studio. Earlier today (Jan. 14), he previewed a clip to a new song on his Instagram page that may or may not be a response to both Cam’ron and 50 Cent. Though he doesn’t say anyone’s name he does include some references to Cam’ron’s response to his interview with Justin Laboy.

We don’t know where this is going or where it’s going to end, but we just hope these grown ass men don’t take it to a violent level. Everyone here’s a millionaire and there isn’t any need for anyone to put their freedom or their health in jeopardy over ego. Just sayin’.

We are not even two weeks into 2025 and Jim Jones has already gone viral. Capo has responded to 50 Cent after the Queens rapper hinted he was an informant.
As spotted on HipHopDX the Harlem native has clapped back at 50 Cent after the G-Unit honcho took a jab at him. Earlier this week footage from Justin Laboy’s Respectfully podcast relaunch hit the internet. On this episode, Jim Jones had some choice words to say when asked about why he performed at a G-Unit show while Cam’ron and 50 Cent had Rap beef.
“Them n***as be on my d*ck,” Jim responded. “Them n***as ain’t got nothing else to think about but Capo. I did a lot for them n***as in their life, ya heard? Both of them. Pause, though. Get off my d*ck! It’s only space on there for baby girl. Come on, man. Tugging on my sh*t like that.”
Naturally, this landed on 50 Cent’s radar prompting him to respond in signature petty fashion.
On Thursday, Jan. 9 Curtis took to Instagram hinting that the “We Fly High” rapper played an informant role in the Tekashi 6ix9ne case. The post features a transcript of a conversation between Mel Matrix and Jim Jones (labeled “Individual 1”) as the two discuss how Tekashi should be reprimanded for betraying the Nine Trey Bloods set. In essence, 50 Cent is hinting that Jim Jones might have cooperated with the police since his name is in the paperwork but he was not sentenced to any jail time.
That same day Jim Jones posted a throwback photo of himself at the height of Byrd Gang era. “Why u keep on lying why u keep on lying 🤥 lol I’m goin back to sleep 😴
Free Mel matrix till it’s reversed” the caption read.
50 Cent has yet respond.

One of Hip-Hop’s longest running fueds continues. Ja Rule found it hilarious that 50 Cent’s Las Vegas residency was panned by a critic.
As spotted on HipHopDX, the G-Unit Records recently kicked off his residency at PH Live in Planet Hollywood. As expected, 50 Cent performed his medley of hits, b-sides and guest appearances to a crowd of his fans. In attendance at one of the dates was blogger Jennifer Gay, who goes by the name Vegas Starfish on social media. She recapped her evening in a video that made it clear that she was unimpressed by the set up and even 50’s performance. “The sound was balanced poorly making it impossible to hear the performance. His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing making it difficult to hear anything but their echos,” she wrote. “The only surprise was the lack of energy. This was the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended,” she added.
Her review soon went viral on social media and eventually landed on Ja Rule’s radar. The “Always On Time” rapper reposted the clip and added, “Not the worst… #ICONN,” with several laughing emojis. Jeffrey wasn’t the only one who took shots at 50 Cent over the footage, as many people online noticed that Fif only waves his right arm up and down while he raps throughout his entire set.

As expected, 50 Cent has responded to the criticism and paused for a brief moment at a subsequent show to address the poor review. “What, you thought I was going to be out here rollerblading like Usher and sh*t? I seen some sh*t, Chris Brown was flying in Africa. I don’t have records that require me to fly in Africa,” he told the crowd. The blogger Vegas Starfish continues to stand by her original review.

Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before 50 Cent got to talking about the rape allegation Jay-Z was recently hit with, and sure enough, he’s having a good ol’ time with Hova’s latest legal issue.
After teasing his thoughts by asking if the Super Bowl was still going down due to Jay-Z being accused of raping a 13-year-old at a 2000 VMA’s afterparty, 50 Cent decided to go a bit further with the jokes. According to TMZ, 50 Cent took another swipe at the Hip-Hop icon in a now-deleted post, which featured Jay, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy attending the premier of Mufasa: The Lion King with a caption that read, “Jay said they said I raped a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.”
Y’all know 50 petty as hell.
To further throw some gasoline on that burning fire, 50 decided to post an AI-generated video of Jay-Z and Diddy getting arrested by the police at a fancy soiree and being led off in handcuffs with a caption that read, “I wanna post this but I’m afraid I’m gonna get shot. LOL”
While 50 isn’t necessarily accusing Jay of being guilty of any of the allegations, he does seem content simply roasting Jay for the time being.
While we doubt Jay will publicly say anything about 50’s posts, we wouldn’t be surprised if Hova or his team is reaching out to 50 to tell him to fall back from the situation. Then again, they probably won’t as they don’t want to give someone like 50 more material to work with on social media because 50 would let the world know that he’s hit a nerve with Jay and his peoples.
Jay-Z for his part hasn’t only denied the allegation but implored to have the lawsuit changed from civil to a criminal as he wants to go to trial to clear his name.
What do y’all think of 50 Cent taking swipes at Jay-Z like this? Fair or foul? Let us know in the comments section below.

50 Cent is getting a Roku Channel.
Spotted on Deadline, Curtis Jackson and his G-Unit Film & Television imprint, in partnership with Lionsgate, are launching the 50 Cent Action Channel on the Roku Channel on Tuesday, December 10.
According to the website, the channel will be curated by the Grammy-winning and Emmy-winning multihyphenate. It will feature his favorite action films from Lionsgate’s library, which features over 20,000 titles. So expect to see films like The Expendables, Rambo, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and over a dozen movies Diddy’s favorite troll starred in.
But that’s not all. The channel will also air reruns of Power, the Starz crime drama he also starred in and served as an executive producer for the many spinoffs that followed.
There will also be programming stunts around the Queen’s rapper’s No. 1 albums and hit records.
Per Deadline:
Examples include a heist-themed stunt tied to his album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, including films like Empire State, Reservoir Dogs, and Man on a Ledge as well as a female-led action stunt based on 50’s album I Like The Way She Do It, including Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2, The Protégé and Haywire.
In a statement about the channel, 50 Cent said, “Roku’s reach and success in the free TV space make them the perfect launch partner for 50 Cent Action. My channel created in partnership with Lionsgate will deliver exactly what my audience loves to watch all in one place. We’ll be number one in no time.”
50 Cent Is Still Making Music
Outside of music, 50 Cent continues to cement his legacy in Hollywood. He recently launched G-Unit Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, and teamed up with Netflix for a forthcoming Diddy docuseries.
On the music front, in a recent interview with Cam’ron, 50 Cent revealed to his one-time rival that he has new material on the way and plans to use it in upcoming television projects.

For a man known to have taken nine shots to his body back in 2000, 50 Cent really dodged a bullet this past Sunday (Oct. 27).
With Donald Trump’s now-infamous Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden having made headlines for all the wrong (but expected) reasons, 50 Cent has revealed that the Trump campaign contacted him in an effort to have him perform at the controversial event. After the “attempted assassination” of Donald Trump back in July, the Trump campaign began to introduce Trump at events with 50 Cent’s “Many Men” playing in the background. Hoping to get 50 Cent to actually perform the song at the rally in New York City, Trump’s team offered 50 Cent a cool $3 million to sway him to partake in the hate rally.
Luckily for him, 50 Cent turned the offer down.
Talking to The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent said, “I didn’t even go far… I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics. You understand? I do not like no part about them.” Furthering expanding on his decision to stay away from the political spectrum of society, 50 said, “It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, some one passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan… He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.”
Wise choice.
But this isn’t the first time the Trump campaign has tried to get 50 Cent to join their team.
Back in 2017, when Donald Trump was about to be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, his team offered 50 a bag to perform at the inauguration ceremony. He turned it down but Chrisette Michele accepted the gig, and we all saw how well that went for her on social media. Then they tried to book the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ for this year’s Republican National Convention, and he once again said no.
Say what you want about 50 Cent, but at least he has the foresight to steer clear of controversial appearances in the political arena.

50 Cent has been in his share of Hip-Hop battles, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he had some advice for Drake, but many are giving the Queen’s rapper the side eye for what he said.
In a recent interview with Billboard, 50 Cent touched on many topics, including his Las Vegas residency and his 07 sales battle with Ye, aka Kanye West, but his comments regarding Drake’s dustup with Kendrick Lamar were quite interesting.
Speaking with Billboard’s Michael Saponara, the Queens rapper uttered Drake’s name numerous times, likening the Canadian rapper’s current stance with Hip-Hop fans to when he dropped his album, Curtis.
“Drake is in that position right now,” 50 Cent said, noting that he is a fan of Kendrick Lamar but also doesn’t feel that any music put out by Drake during the beef “was wack at any point.”
Saponara asked 50 Cent if he had any advice for the 6 God, and he pretty much coddled Drake, telling him he didn’t lose anything in his lyrical battle with K.Dot.
“On some real shit, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well, what did you lose?’” 50 said. “What exactly did he lose, if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherfucking thing, man. If that’s the moment, you keep your creative energy in the right place, and keep creating.”
Social Media Does Not Agree With 50 Cent
50 Cent might feel that way, but many others don’t.
“If you fight somebody, and afterwards your dawg tells you “it don’t matter cuz you got more bitches than him” or “you got more money than that nigga”………he is confirming that you indeed lost that fight,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
True.

Throughout his career 50 Cent has remained one of Diddy’s most vocal critics. In a recent interview, Fif explains why he would poke fun at the mogul.
The G-Unit CEO recently interviewed with People magazine. While he discussed several topics during his sit-down, the entertainment publication got him to explain why he would tease Combs throughout his career.
“Look, it seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t. It’s really me just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years,” 50 Cent said. The “I Get Money” rapper went on to add, “Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that, I’m like, ‘Yo, it’s just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style.’”
While the two have been spotted hanging out from time to time, Fif maintained they only had a working relationship.
“I wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other,” he says. In 2006, things seemed to sour between them when 50 Cent, who was trying to sign Mase at the time, expressed his frustrations with Diddy on a diss track called “The Bomb.”
Not only did 50 say Combs was stalling the deal but also alluded that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder had something to do with The Notorious B.I.G.’s murder.
Diddy’s federal trafficking trial is set to commence in May. His previous attempts to secure bail have been denied.

Just when it seemed like 50 Cent was done with the music aspect of his career, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper will once again be taking to the stage to perform many of his classic hits as he’s just landed a new gig in Las Vegas.
According to TMZ, Fiddy has just inked a deal to get himself his first-ever Las Vegas Residency as he’ll be performing for six nights at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. To help sweeten the deal, the “I Get Money” rapper will be pocketing a cool $15 million for six days of work. That’s the kind of payday many men dream of but might never come across. Then again, there’s only one 50 Cent, right?
TMZ reports:
We’re told the residency is set to kick off in December 2025, with one of the performances being an exclusive New Year’s Eve celebration presented by 50 Cent’s own Sire Spirits brand.
The residency, dubbed “50 Cent: In Da Club,” will be unlike anything he’s ever done before and we’re told fans can expect a fresh experience while still hearing all their favorite hits from Fifty, including classics “In Da Club,” “Candy Shop,” and “21 Questions.”
Wait, it isn’t happening till next year?! And we thought Lauryn Hill was notorious for keeping her fans waiting a long time.
Y’all already know 50 Cent’s going to start every show with “Go shorty, it’s your birthday!” And it’ll be worth it.
Will y’all be checking out 50 Cent’s residency in Sin City come December of next year? Let us know in the comments section below.
