50 Cent's Cousin Claims The Rapper Brings Drama His Way

Earlier in the week, 50 Cent made mention of his cousin and fellow rapper Continental Five during an interview and stated that Continental Five was trying to emulate his past lifestyle in his music and revealed that he’s not a fan of his cousin’s records “because he has never been through the things he’s talking about.” Continental Five recently responded to Fifty’s comments in a video interview with Forbez DVD and also explained his side of the story. According to the rapper, the lifestyle he raps about is one he lives with every day and even suffers from paranoia due to the “beef” 50 Cent involves himself in. “Whatever stories you hear about this nigga, I deal with it on an everyday basis,” Continental explained. “I deal with that shit. So, when he’s gone and doing the rap shit and he’s starting the beef and he’s igniting all that, I’m still here…I’ve been paranoid. I don’t be out like that because—I’m worried about if a nigga would try to do it. None of the beef that I’m gripped up for or be running around with is not mines. I’m not outside starting trouble. This is somebody else’s problems I inherited.”

The rapper went on to address 50 Cent directly as he shot down comments made in regards to what Fifty believes was his desire to be a gangster rapper. Continental Five also called out 50 Cent for causing issues that he’ll never be forced to deal with. “So, to a nigga listening, nobody’s trying to be a gangster. I want to get the fuck away from this. I’m trying to do my thing,” said Continental. “So, when you see me rapping it’s not me rapping about trying to portray something. No nigga, this what’s gon’ get me to get the fuck out the situation because I’m still in that situation. So, while you’re in your bulletproof and you good and you somewhere else, the reality is I still gotta deal with the shit that comes with your issues.”

50 Cent Open For G-Unit Reunion

. . , , , , , , ,

MTV Studios

In previously interviews, Curtis said a G-Unit reunion was unlikely. But during his First Take taping yesterday, he sat with ESPN and says he considers linking back with Banks and Yayo.

What about a reunion of G-Unit?

The original G-Unit, maybe. We might do something. I’ll be honest with you. Some of these new artists on the label I don’t think are working as hard as they could. I don’t know how hard they want to work or how much they want it. I could see the original coming back together though.

DMX’s Wife Criticizes 50 Cent Over Cancellation Of “Starter Wives Confidential”

DMX's Wife Criticizes 50 Cent Over Cancellation Of "Starter Wives Confidential"

DMX‘s estranged wife took 50 Cent to task after he took credit for the cancellation of her TV series.

The estranged wife of DMX recently took aim at 50 Centover the cancellation of her TV show, “Starter Wives Confidential.” Tashera Simmons addressed Fif’s recent comments that he was responsible for the cancellation of her TLC reality series, which followed on a number of celebrities’ former partners. She said that rappers like 50 Cent – whose whose ex-girlfriend appeared in the first episode of the series - enjoy the benefits of a sexist double standard, while her and her co-stars are penalized for attempting to share their stories. ”I am very disappointed by the sequence of events that has taken place in the last week. It’s disheartening that the show was cancelled after two episodes due to many inflated egos,” she said in a statement. “I am no stranger to television and what just happened was unheard of and completely unorthodox. There were millions of dollars and a lot of hard work put into this project by the producers, staff, and my co-stars. It’s hard to believe that there are still some fundamental issues in our society about women speaking up or having a voice.”

She continued, “It’s okay for rappers to get on television and tell their story about how many times they were shot or how they were heavily in the drug game, but it’s not okay for women to share their story about their life experiences. ‘Starter Wives Confidential’ was more than a show about bitter or entitled women; it was about a group of women stepping out of the shadows of their ex’s and finding their way in life personally and professionally.” As previously mentioned, Fif took credit for the show’s cancellation in a Tweet earlier this week. TLC has since issued a statement indicating that the show was cancelled due to low ratings.

50 Cent Dismisses Game’s G-Unit Reunion Petition, Says They Will Not Get Back Together

50 Cent Dismisses Game's G-Unit Reunion Petition, Says They Will Not Get Back Together
 50 Cent addresses Game‘s online petition to get G-Unit back together.

After Game launched an online petition for a G-Unit reunion, 50 Cent has responded by stating that he has no interest in getting the group back together. During an interview with The Boombox (via HHNM), Fif echoed earlier statements that a G-Unit reunion was unlikely. “You’re not gonna get nothing back together,” he said. “I decide that. I do what I want to do. I don’t give a fuck what they talking about on a blog post.” 50 said that Game’s petition was just a publicity stunt and that every time he cools off, he brings up his former ally. “Every time there was nothing going on [Game] said ‘Fuck you, 50,’ to generate some sort of new interest,” he said. “But now that doesn’t work anymore. So you gotta figure out a new way to do it. And now it’s saying, ‘We’ll get G-Unit back together!’” Talks of a G-Unit reunion have been circling for the past few weeks. Early last month, 50 said that there was a “strong possibility” that he, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo would join forces again. Game’s manager Dontay “Taydoe” Kidd revealed that they were working on getting the group back together, though 50 later recanted his earlier statement and said that it “probably [would] not” happen.

The Game Promotes Online Petition For A G-Unit Reunion?

. . , , , , , , ,

The Game is taking his hope for a G-Unit reunion very seriously. The Compton rapper has been promoting a petition to get the old musical gang back together again. Maybe. Numerous post have been made to the “Hate It Or Love It” rapper’s official Facebook promotion the petition, including:

Is there a G Unit Reunion gonna happen in 2013??? Let’s see how many signatures we get!
Vote here www.GUnitReunion.com

However, there are no such messages on Game’s Twitter account. At the time of this post, the petition has over 5,500 signatures. It hopes all the fan support will urge the entire G-Unit collective—50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and the Game—to “make it happen.” Part of the petition’s message reads:

“They delivered some of the best hip hop songs the world has ever heard, since then the group have collapsed with both The Game & Young Buck no longer part of this once heavyweight group. It’s about time we gave the world what they want, a ‘Reunion’, there is no doubt that if the group reformed they would smash their way to the top again.”

G-Unit’s founder, 50 Cent, probably ain’t hearing it, though. After hinting at the possibility of a reunion a few weeks ago, Ferrari seems to have already changed his mind. ”Probably not,” was his response when asked about G-Unit’s return on Sirius Hip Hop Nation show, Ear Candy Mornings, earlier this week. 

“You have people that grow in different directions,” added Fif. “If you have grown men involved in business transactions who are around each other, surrounded by the same thing…I’ve offered everything that I could offer to G-Unit, I allowed them to be in front of my audience the entire time, develop their own fan base and have people recognize their attributes and their defects at that point, so what do you do?”

50 Cent Lands Deal With Fox For Animated Series

. . , , , , , , ,

50 Cent is stepping into the cartoon realm, by way of a new series loosely based on his life story. The show will be picked up by Fox. The network is currently in negotiations with 50, producer Randall Emmett, and Imagine TV.

Deadline.com reports:

The untitled project, loosely based on Jackson’s childhood, is expected to receive a pilot or presentation order. Written by Carl Jones, it follows a mischievous but well-meaning boy who often tangles with his eccentric family and neighborhood. Jackson, his producing partner Andrew Jameson, Jones, Emmett  and Imagine TV’s Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo executive produce.

His latest business venture is the second TV program he’s been cooking up. As Hip-Hop Wired previously reported, the 37-year-old is executive producing Power,  an hour-long drama for the STARZ network.  The series is based around a nightclub owner trying to turn his life around. These days 50 keeps his hands in several different money-making pots, but his music appears to be the project that continues to meet delays. His long-awaited Street Kings Immortal release has been pushed back yet again and will now come out sometime this spring. No word yet on when viewers can expect to see the animated series.

50 Cent Says G-Unit Reunion Is Unlikely

50 Cent doesn’t think he, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo are linking up again anytime soon.

Completely contrary to what he said just weeks ago, 50 Cent says a reunion with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo to form G-Unit probably won’t happen. ”Probably not,” admitted Fif in an interview with Ear Candy Mornings on Sirius Hip-Hop Nation. “I don’t know. You have people that go in different directions. ”If you have grown men involved in business transactions who are around each other… I’ve offered everything I could offer to G-Unit,” he continued. “I allowed them to be in front of an audience the entire time, to develop their own fan base, to recognize their attributes and their defects at that point. What do you do?” ”I don’t care what other people want. I give a fuck what they want,” concluded 50 bluntly. “A reunion? You can kiss my motherfucking ass as far as that’s concerned.”
