50 Cent Sounds Suicidal

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 3rd, 2012

50 Cent is sounding suicidal in some recent Tweets. The rapper has been having trouble with his label, Interscope, and the release of his fifth album.

“I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on,” he tweeted. “I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.”

He went on with some very gloomy tweets.

“I’ll be honest I don’t think I’m gonna live much longer,” revealed 50. “That’s why I started my street king movement. I want to mean more in other people’s lives.”

He also sent out a philosophical tweet.

“To be conscious that life is short is not suicidal. I’m good if I die tonight. I’ve taken care of the people who took care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself.”

Could this be the end of 50 cent? Or just the end of his music career?

50 Cent Threatens(?) Madonna and Interscope Over Song Title ‘Girls Go Wild’

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 14th, 2011

50 Cent is channeling his inner 13-year-old brat by throwing yet another hissy-fit on Twitter.

This time around, he has his panties in a twist because Madonna ripped off his song title. He was all ready to release a track called “Girls Go Wild” through Interscope, until he found out Madonna’s putting a song out too, titled “Girls Gone Wild”. Guess no one cares enough to “Girls Gone Wild” t.v. show creator Joe Francis what he thinks.

“These people are gonna make kill one of them. Now Madonna’s single is called GIRLS GONE WILD. This is some bull sh*t,” he tweeted yesterday.

As posted on Oh No They Didn’t, the rapper does not want to release his single anymore. He won’t even release his album until Interscope is on the same page as him.

He also went on to write, “This is nuts to me. I try to do everything I can to keep my cool you know what? If they don’t care I don’t care I’m putting out a video now.”

Now, 50 just sounds like a spoiled brat whose mom won’t buy her a pony for her 13th birthday party. He should be thankful there are people out there that still care enough to listen to his irrelevant music.

50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson Have Too Much Free Time

Posted by @jordans_life on October 26th, 2011

If you didn’t get enough of 50 Cent’s stellar acting in Get Rich Or Die Trying, you’re in for a treat.

In today’s edition of  ”What the F*ck Were You Thinking?” 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson lower the bar on both acting and product placement. Yesterday the trio released a parody of the tremendously popular movie The Hangover to promote an energy shot called “Street King.” In the video 50 and Mayweather slip their buddy (played by Mike Tyson) a mysterious caffeinated syrup that sends them on an adventure so lame it makes Bieber-Gomez pajama parties look like an all-nighter in the red light district. The crew gets into a nasty pillow fight and Mike Tyson has what looks like a seizure.

Let’s look at both sides to this video:

The Bad: These three have once again proven that rappers and boxers aren’t naturally-gifted actors. It also looks like they hired a 2nd year college film student to direct the video. The quality of the production is on bar with a bad Bar Mitzvah video and there’s even basic continuity errors (ie: Tyson’s Martini glass magically turns into a scotch glass).

The Good: 50 may have accidentally created a very successful viral video. This could be it’s very own FAIL and has the potential to become a joke shared in email chains across the world. Unfortunately, people are going to be laughing at these three like internet memes (see: the Star Wars kid) instead of legitimately enjoying the parody.

So, let this be a lesson to all product-endorsing rappers and celebrities. The DIY approach to marketing isn’t always the best option. Sometimes it pays to hire a proper agency, but in this case, I’m glad 50 Cent chose to do it himself. It’s much funnier this way.

50 Cent Wants to Feed One Million People

Posted by Natalia Buia on October 18th, 2011

If you ignore all the nasty tweets, break ups and publicized feuds with just about every other rapper, 50 Cent is such a humanitarian!

Fiddy created a campaign where he will feed one hungry child every time an individual ‘likes’ the Street King energy drink Facebook page. I’m not exactly sure exactly how he plans on feeding said child but hey, it’s the thought that counts!

His goal is to feed one million a week. So far, over 69,000 meals have been provided and there’s just 6 days left to reach a milli.

50 is in fact an excellent business man. He’s gone some outstanding work for numerous projects ranging from beverages to clothing . His new ad for the “feed one million” campaign posted below, is pretty convincing. If I don’t buy a drink he’ll totally knock me out! Maybe this is another reason why he’s so successful not only in music but business too.

Posted by andPOP Staff on October 4th, 2011

 

50 Cent is pimping out Vanessa Hudgens…..in a movie.

The 22-year-old actress recently chatted about her upcoming film, Frozen Ground. “It’s an amazing cast. 50 Cent is going to be my pimp,” she laughed.

Vanessa added, “I feel like it’s going to be a challenge that’s unlike anything I’ve done before. I’ll be playing off of a true story and the person who went through all of this will be by my side.”

Once a pimp, always a pimp.

50 Cent Sued Over Friend Attacking Woman

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 20th, 2011

This is kind of a stretch. 50 Cent is being sued because one of his associates attacked a woman in his house, and 50 wasn’t even present when it happened.

TMZ says Dwayne McKenzie works for 50 cent, and McKenzie invited some women over to 50′s Connecticut mansion. A woman alleges McKenzie started to make  ”graphic and vulgar sexual requests”.

The lady, Vasti Ortiz, tried to leave but then was assaulted by other women at the party upon the request of Dwayne. Ortiz claims she was severely injured.

Ortiz is now suing 50 because McKenzie was a violent criminal and should not have been working for the rapper.

50 Cent Wants Lady Gaga, Bieber and Usher Endorsing Energy Drink

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 15th, 2011

50 Cent is trying to get Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and Usher to endorse his energy drink to help aid hunger relief in Africa.

50 is committing profits from his Street King drinks to provide food for one billion kids in the impoverished continent by 2016.

And 50 is confident he can pull it off.

He says, “It sold out, the first 4,000 shipments in stores in like, 50 states, is sold out… and I was being conservative, because of the actual pre-orders, I was actually able to feed 2.5 million today and I already have interest expressed by other a bunch of people like Usher, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Drake… so we’re looking forward to building bigger and better things.”

50 Cent Forced to Change Movie Title

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 14th, 2011

50 Cent’s new movie has been forced to back down over the title. His movie was supposed to be called Things Fall Apart, but the name belongs to a 80 year old Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe.

Things Fall Apart is the same title as Achebe most famous novel,  which was included on the list of Time magazine’s All Time Top 100 Novels. The producers of the movie offered $1 Million to buy the title, but the offer has been rejected.

According to indieWIRE, the new title for the film is All Things Fall Apart.

The Game Says 50 Cent Is Gay

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 11th, 2011

The Game just keeps making matters worse. As we reported earlier, The Game recently made some homophobic comments. Now he is saying 50 Cent is gay.

The Game tweeted the following to TMZ in response to their article about his homophobic comments. The Game said,

“@TMZ but look around, shit I be surprised when I see someone who’s not GAY. My girl hair stylist is GAY & he kool. @50cent GAY n we was kool ”

We don’t think 50 is going to like this one bit, consider he also has made some homophobic comments. It will be interesting to see how 50 responds.

Goldie Hawn and 50 Cent Buddies

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 12th, 2011

It seems like an unlikely lunch date, but we have photo evidence that Goldie Hawn had lunch with 50 Cent.

50 posted a picture of him and Goldie during their lunch yesterday. With the pic he said, “I had lunch with Goldie Hawn she is complete sweetheart.”

The Urban Daily’s theory on this lunch was 50′s desire to grow his acting career. 50 has made it clear he wants to take acting seriously, and who better to advise him then Hollywood royalty like Goldie Hawn.

50 Cents Tweets About Upcoming Film

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 1st, 2011

As we reported earlier, 50 Cent is in a feud with his label Interscope. The disagreement has gotten so bad that his new album won’t be released.

50 Tweeted on Tuesday, “Man I’m not releasing a album i can’t believe interscope is this f*cked up right now. I apologize to all my fans.” In a separate tweet, the rapper continued, “I will work with other artist on [their] projects but I will not put out another album. They dropped the ball with me one time [too] many.”

However 50 is not going to stay standing still. Instead he is going to focus on his film. He Tweeted, “I’m gonna finish writing the film I promised to release with the album. Ill shoot it in sept I’m gonna put energy into that.”

50 Cent Fighting with Interscope Records about Next Release

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 27th, 2011

50 Cent is fighting with his record label Interscope, and is threatening not to release anymore music. 50 feels the label is moving too slow and not working hard enough.

50 posted to his Twitter, “Man I’m not releasing an album… I can’t believe Interscope is this f**ked up right now. I apologize to all my fans.

“I will work with other artist on there projects but I will not put out another album. They dropped the ball with me one time to (too) many… they can’t seem to get it right when it comes to me.”

50 has so much money he doesn’t even need to release anymore music. Off Vitamin Water alone that guy has money to burn.

50 Cent To Play Blind DJ In Movie

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 20th, 2011

Rapper 50 Cent is set play a blind DJ in ‘Odd Thomas,’ a film directed by Stephen Sommers and based on the original Dean Koontz novel.

The rap-superstar will join Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe and Patton Oswalt among the cast. That’s quite the cast, will he be able to perform?

Koontz’s bestselling 2003 novel follows the exploits of a clairvoyant cook who uses his powers to track the killer of a young girl. The film starts shooting this summer in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Kind of a random role for 50 Cent – I’m sure he could pull of the DJ thing no problem, but the blind part, I don’t know. Despite roles in action/music flicks, 50 hasn’t really done some serious acting, so we’ll see how this turns out.

Do you think 50 has what it takes to pull off a role like this? What’s your opinion on music stars turned actors? (Personally, I don’t like it. Not one bit. Unless you’re Jennifer Hudson and win an Oscar.)

Chelsea Handler Admits to Dating 50 Cent

Posted by Samantha Lui on May 11th, 2011

After months of speculation, awkward twitpics and interviews, Chelsea Handler has finally confirmed rumours that she dated 50 Cent.

But of course, we all knew that anyways, right?

Although she admits the two were an item, she stresses the relationship was very casual.

Handler, who is usually on the one asking the questions on her show Chelsea Lately, took a turn to the other side on Tuesday when she sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan and answered questions about her personal life.

“We dated, very casually,” Handler admitted. “He’s a very sweet, nice guy… I was sampling, kind of, the atmosphere, seeing what was out there, and I was satiated.”

With this confirmation, rumours are finally put to rest.

Throughout the fall and winter, the two played with the web and press but never fully defined their relationship.  At one point, Handler posted a photo of the two in bed and tweeted,”I don’t know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper.”

When pictures of them dining closely surfaced, Handler firmly denied the rumours.

As did the rapper, in an interview with Vibe Magazine, in which he said:

“”Chelsea is confident. I think confidence is the sexiest thing about a person. She’s the kind of person that if you’re blessed with the opportunity to hang out with her, you’ll enjoy it. I’m not sure you’ll look at her and actually want to jump over the table and f**k her, but you might. You would leave after talking with her feeling that she is a cool person.”

Oh you guys.  Did you really have to do all this hiding?  Piers Morgan must be some interviewer to be able to get Handler to fess up!

50 Cent Expands Into Comedy

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 27th, 2011

The 50 Cent empire isn’t big enough, so 50 is now expanding into comedy.

50 will be starting ThisIs50Comedy.com, which officially launches on April 28. PopEater reports the site will feature the debut of 50′s comedy show — dubbed “This Is 50 Comedy Show.” The show will be taped in front of a live audience in the Times Square Arts Center in New York City, and will be streamed live online.

Access to the show will cost $2.99, the proceeds of which will go towards Japan’s relief fund.

But is 50 Cent funny. He did have the quick stint on “Entourage” where he was mildly entertaining.

50 Cent Mocks Japan Disaster

Posted by Christian Allaire on March 14th, 2011

50 Cent took to his Twitter to mock the earthquake and tsunami  that occurred in Japan on Friday, Perez Hilton reports.

His Twitter contained jokes about those suffering in Japan, and trust me, they aren’t funny. He wrote:

“Its all good Till b*tches see there christian louboutins floating down da street shit gone get crazy.”

“Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing.”

“Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoe’s from LA,Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol”

He must have realized that he was being offensive to those affected, because he later tweeted an apology over the insensitive tweets:

“sorry”

“Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let’s pray for anyone who has lost someone.”

“Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or love it. I’m cool either way 50cent”

I mean, is 50 Cent so desperate for attention that he has to mock death and tragedy in order to get his name out there? 50 has made homophobic tweets before as well, so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s stooped so low once again. Just because your music career isn’t as hot as it used to be doesn’t mean you have to take down everyone with you. An apology really isn’t enough either – made you should think about donating some money to help Japan recover. And not just 50 cents.

50 Cent Pumps His Stock Via Twitter

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 12th, 2011

Some people question if 50 Cent broke the law over the weekend, but it turns out he’s in the clear. 50 told his 3.8 Million Twitter followers to buy stock in H&H. The actual tweet was “NHI is the stock symbol … they are no joke get in now.”

50 holds a substantial number of shares in the company, and the stock surge earned him $5.2 Million. H&H imports “Sleek by 50″ headphones that 50 Cent endorses, and 50 happens to own 7.5 million shares and warrants for 22.5 million more, according to Gawker. However he did not break the law as he owned shares in the company, and continues to do so. If he had dumped the shares, then there would be potential legal issues.

Break In at 50 Cent’s Mansion – Burglar Found Drunk in Closet

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 21st, 2010

50 Cent’s 52 room Connecticut mansion was burglarized this morning by two men who were later arrested, reports TMZ.

At 6am security guards for the property called police reporting a suspicious car in the driveway. Cops later showed up to the home and found two men in the house. However one of the men was found hidden in the closet drunk with a bottle of wine which he stole from 50.

Apparently marijuana was also found in possession of the gentlemen. We wonder if that was stolen from 50 also…

50 Cent and Chelsea Handler Canoodling in Bed!

Posted by Megan MacKay on December 13th, 2010

Comedian Chelsea Handler has repeatedly denied rumors of her dating 50 Cent, but it seems like the two are closer than ever – in bed!

Handler tweeted a picture of what could only be an intense cuddlefest with the rapper, captioning it “I don’t know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper.”

Handler has poked fun at the prospect of her dating 50 Cent on her late night talk show, Chelsea Lately.  But despite the frequent denial of their romance, the two have been spotted on a lunch date, and even getting PRETTY close at a club in New Orleans last month.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Chelsea Handler is the world’s biggest attention whore!

Check out the picture in question HERE.
