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.

Let this be yet another reminder that 50 Cent does not play about his brand. The Shade Room has reached a settlement with him regarding some false penis enhancement claims.

As per Complex the Queens, New York native got the celebrity gossip outlet to put some respect on his name. Back in February 2020 the “I Get Money” MC took a photograph with plastic surgeon Angela Kogan at what seems to be her private practice. The doctor posted the picture on her personal account and Perfection Plastic Surgery MedSpa’s handle promoting their penis enhancement services.

Things got even more spicy for the G-Unit Records CEO when The Shade Room did a story with Kogan on the rise of these surgeries while using the photo of 50 Cent. “More men are getting surgery (down there) than ever before, and BBLs are fading away” the article stated. “The CEO of the leading med spa for celebrities in South Florida dishes on the latest trends surgery trends”. Curtis said Kogan knew he never got a procedure there and used the photograph under false pretenses to promote her services. In turn he filed a lawsuit against her, the MedSpa and The Shade Room.

The trial was set to start July 3 but Los Angeles Magazine journalist Meghann Cuniff has reported that the matter has been settled out of court. Cuniff shared the notice of the settlement in a post to Twitter. “Hereby gives notice that he has reached an agreement to settle with Defendant The Shade Room, LLC.  d/b/a The Shade Room (“TSR”) in the above-captioned action. Jackson and TSR are in the process of executing their prospective obligations pursuant to the agreement and will file a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice of Defendant The Shade Room, LLC shortly thereafter” the document read.

Neither 50 Cent or The Shade Room have yet commented on the matter.

50 Cent is comfortably in his mogul role as he continues to dominate as an executive producer in the entertainment world via his portfolio of street-savvy dramas. After a well-received interview with MSNBC host Ari Melber last week, 50 Cent got into a humorous war of words with a former Kremlin official over which guest had the most views on The Beat.
The artist born Curtis Jackson didn’t take the first shot as most might expect. This time, the honor went to Andrei Vladimirovich Kozyrev, a former Kremlin official, and Russian politician. Kozyrev was a guest on The Beat last year just as the Ukraine conflict erupted and became the most-watched The Beat segment with 5.4 million views.

As of now, 50 Cent holds second place in the viewership race at 4.4. million from a 2018 appearance on The Beat, prompting Kozyrev to show off a bit in a response to a tweet made by Melber on Feb. 17 highlighting the top four most-watched interviews.

Fif, not to be outdone, replied in his usual hilarious fashion.

In response, Kozyrev let Fif know that his son is a fan of his.

Along with the many feathers in his cap already, could 50 Cent be preparing to enter the high-stakes world of foreign affairs? Stay tuned.

Fans of BMF can enjoy the current second season, knowing there will be more stories to tell.
Spotted on Variety, Starz’s latest hit drama BMF, based on the actual story of Big Meech and his Detroit-based organized crime outfit, the Black Mafia Family, will get a third season.

The announcement came fresh into BMF’s second season, with the cable network noting the show was the most socially engaged drama across all networks during its premiere weekend with an astounding 4.1 million multiplatform viewers.

“BMF captures the essence of Detroit through elevated, gritty storytelling, and our fans have passionately responded to this show more than ever before,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz.
She continues, “Following such a strong debut with season two, we’re thrilled to continue to expand on the incredible story of the Flenory brothers as they change the game by writing their own rules. We can’t wait to see what our extraordinary producers and cast deliver next.”
50 Cent’s Weird Relationship With Starz Continues
With the announcement of the show’s third season, Starz’s often shaky relationship with 50 Cent and his G-Unit Film & Television will continue, despite his constant threats to pull his slate of shows from the network.
The Queen’s rapper is single-handedly bringing the heat to Starz with shows like Power Book II: Ghost (created by Courtney A. Kemp), Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Force, and now BMF.
In 2022, 50 Cent took to his Instagram account to announce that his partnership with the cabler is a dub.
“Shout out to BET, I won Hustler of the Year. No one from music culture has had success in Television production. I have 25 shows now and I’ve made some big deals away from TV. I’m out of my deal at STARZ tomorrow,” he wrote in the post’s caption.

Congrats to the cast and crew of BMF.
