Nick Cannon has always been capable of slick commentary, and recently 50 Cent found himself in the host’s sights. The serial impregnator slandered the Queens rapper over his alleged weight gain.
The comment was sparked after actress Vivica A. Fox recently revealed that she would be open to revisiting her relationship with the G-Unit rapper from over a decade ago. During an episode of his The Daily Cannon podcast, Mariah Carey’s baby daddy went in. “You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago,” said Cannon. “…he look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck.”
However, Cannon’s co-host said they did still find Ferarri attractive. But, Cannon only doubled down.
You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.” Bruh…
50 Cent has to respond, but you just know the get back is going to be nuclear. Well actually…
For now, peep some of the reactions, and it ain’t looking sweet for Nick Cannon on these e-streets.

If kick a person while they are down was a person it would be 50 Cent. He recently teased Irv Gotti after Nelly and Ashanti were spotted together looking real cozy.
As spotted on TMZ the Queens, New York native did not waste any time when the former couple were spotted looking friendly at their joint performance at Tao Beach in Las Vegas. 50 Cent took to social media with the clip of their set and added a very unflattering photo of the Murder Inc. Records founder to the Instagram post. “Man Somebody Check On Irv Gotti ASAP! Know He Going Through Right Now” the header on the visual read. He upped the petty by quoting Irv from his infamous appearance on Drink Champs on the caption “I was in love wit her, and she just popped up with Nelly”.
In addition to their performance at the popular pool party, the two talents also attended the Gervonta Davis versus Ryan Garcia boxing match over the weekend. There Nelly held her hand as they walked to their seats prompting speculation that the singer and rapper are once again an item. Shani and Mo had a solid run as couple during the mid 2000’s but abruptly went their separate ways. The two saw each other at the Ja Rule and Fat Joe Verzuz back in 2021 and it seemed Nelly definitely wanted to rekindle their former flame. Irv has yet to respond to the slander.

50 Cent was sitting courtside during an NBA playoff game on Monday night (April 17), during which the Golden State Warriors lost 114-106 to the Sacramento Kings. Besides watching an intense basketball game, the rapper also had a front row seat to a scuffle between players Draymond Green and Domantas Sabonis, which led to Green stomping on Sabonis’ chest.

“Said @money23green, what the fvck you do that for?” the “In Da Club” rapper wrote on Instagram following the event, alongside a photo set of the altercation. “He said 50 im a big stepper, I’m out here steppin on s— it’s the playoffs. i was sitting there looking like [wide-eyed emoji] oh s—!”
The whole situation went down when Sabonis attempted to rebound during the fourth quarter of the game, which led to him falling on the ground and grabbing Green’s leg. Green then shook off Sabonis’ grip, before he appeared to step on Sabonis’ chest. Green was then given a “flagrant two” foul and ejected from the game, while Sabonis got a technical foul.
In a post-game press conference, Green explained what happened, clarifying that the stomp was an accident. “My leg got grabbed,” the NBA star explained. “The second time in two nights — and the referee is just watching. I got to land my foot somewhere, and I’m not the most flexible person, so it’s not stretching that far. I can only step so far with someone pulling my leg away.”

The world was just served another reminder that you never want to owe 50 Cent. He is about to seize a former employee’s home after being found guilty of embezzling millions.
As spotted on Complex the G-Unit Records boss is back to his petty ways. Back in 2022 his former Le Chemin du Roi champagne employee Mitchell Green was apparently cooking the financial records at Sire Spirits. The disgraced executive is charged with falsifying pricing from wholesalers to a higher cost and then pocketing the profit. He hid the additional costs, which totaled to roughly about two million dollars, as “agency fees” but was eventually caught red handed. A judge has since ordered him to pay the stolen monies back to 50 Cent plus interest and cover off on the attorney fees, arbitrator compensation and more.
Green is now left with a balance of six million dollars; but he does not have six million in cash to settle his debt. Thus his assets are being taken including his home. As expected 50 quickly took to social media to demand that he be paid his money ASAP in true Fofty fashion. “I think I’m gonna put Epoxy floors in this place,” he wrote in the caption alongside a screenshot of an article about the seizure, and an apparent photo of Green. “I’m gonna keep it and his family pictures around, you know as a theme for the place. LOL.”
50 Cent launched Le Chemin du Roi champagne back in 2018. The brand currently offers four varietals with pricing starting at about $165 for their Brut selection.

50 Cent is expanding his Hollywood hustle. Paramount+ has announced they are developing new show by him titled Vice City.
Deadline is exclusively reporting that the streaming platform has signed on to bring 50’s newest project to life in conjunction with G-Unit Film & Television. The series is billed as an original story from writers and executive producers Darnell Metayer and Josh Peters (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts). Additionally, Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise) will serve as executive producer/director.
According to the media outlet, Vice City will follow “three friends and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid ’80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal.”
Apparently when they get back home they turn to a life of crime. “Disgraced, displaced, and forgotten by the country they served and with no good job prospects, the three friends partner with a mysterious Colombian immigrant, uniting their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew. Fueled by the need for American green, they traverse a violent and dangerous path in pursuit of the American Dream,” the overview read.
Earlier this month, 50 Cent teased a new project of the same name leading his fans to believe he was working with Rockstar Games on a new installment of the hit video game series Grand Theft Auto. At this time, Vice City has no project premiere date.

We all know that 50 Cent is all about his coin regardless if you have it or not, and now he’s applying pressure on a former Sire Spirits employee who owes the Guerrilla Unit general a King Kong sized grip.
According to Complex, Mitchell Green was found guilty of embezzling over $2 million at Le Chemin du Roi champagne as the company’s brand management director which was created by 50 Cent’s brand Sire Spirits. In 2019, Green apparently decided to take advantage of his position and allegedly up-charged wholesalers on merchandise and had them pay agency fees only to walk away with the extra cash.
From Complex:
The court ordered Green to pay the company over $6 million, including pre-judgment interest, attorney’s fees, arbitrator compensation, and more.
Green petitioned to appeal the lawsuit, which landed him in a deeper hole. The court denied his request and added nearly $90,000 to his outstanding debt for attorney fees.
The filings reads that if Green refuses to pay, the Power producer can seize his personal property and other assets until it’s paid off. In addition, 50 Cent is also suing Michael Caruso and his wife for their involvement with the champagne scheme. The two ordered to help pay off the balance with Green.
Naturally, that was all Fiddy needed to take to his Instagram page to rub some salt in the wound and troll Green at the same time writing, “👀Look i’m a need that by Monday! 🤨#bransoncognac#lecheminduroi.”
Whether or not Green has the money to pay up or not, best believe 50 Cent will seize whatever property he wants as he is indeed from South Side Jamaica, Queens. That man may be filthy rich, but he’s still taking anything that isn’t nailed to the floor if he can. Just sayin.
That being said, did Teairra Marí ever pay off the $30,000 she owed 50?? Looks like chicken feed compared to $6 million.
What do y’all think about this situation? Fiddy being petty or Fiddy being Fiddy? Let us know in the comments section below.
