50 Cent recently trolled comedian Andrew Schulz over his controversial rant on Kendrick Lamar, leaving die-hard fans of the West Coast rapper with a bad taste in their mouth.

The G-Unit Films mogul didn’t hold back during a lively interview on the FLAGRANT podcast, where he weighed in on Schulz’s recent rhetoric targeting Kendrick Lamar’s track “wacced out murals” from his GNX album.

50 Cent pressed the envelope over Schulz comments about having sex with Lamar against his own will in response to his bars from the song slamming white comedians for telling jokes about Black women. In his initial remarks, the G-Unit rapper called out Schulz for crossing the line, delivering both humor and sharp criticism in his signature style.

“I’m a fan of your work, but I don’t understand what got into you that made you say you was gonna f##k Kendrick,” 50 began, before being interrupted by Schulz attempting damage control, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said make sweet love.”

50 shot back, immediately clowning Schulz for his snarky retort while also seemingly trolling Lamar and his fans, who have routinely cited the “Heart Pt. 6” rapper’s upbringing in Compton and sensitive past with sexual assault.

“Oh, sweet love. I registered for it f##k,” he said. “This is from years and years of trauma. his comes from abuse from the neighborhood that I grew up in.”

Transitioning to the public’s reaction, 50 Cent commented on the uproar by downplaying the outrage the comedian’s comments generated as a byproduct of the art of comedy.

“For people to write petitions behind it, it’s crazy,” he said, referring to the backlash Schulz faced. “Look, I follow comedic culture. I watch the comedians. I enjoy them on another level. You are comedic.”

He continued, “When I watch them [comedians], I look and I go, there’s no point that you could do something that actually damages what they’ve developed.”

Backing up his point, 50 Cent fired off a stray shot after mentioned other performers like Kat Williams, pointing out their resilience despite missteps.

“Kat Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that is his height and not do so well, right?” he said. “It does no damage to Kat Williams. He’s still that guy.”

Kendrick Lamar’s camp has yet to respond to the controversy, but fans have taken to social media to defend the rapper. Many weren’t nearly as amused by 50 Cent’s analysis of the situation and sounded off on his unpopular opinion in the comments section of a post AllHipHop shared covering the podcast clip.

“They’ll always find one of us who’s willing to Sellout,” one user wrote in the comments section of the post. Another user added, “@50cent a cornball , he just hating cuz when he cooled down @kendricklamar took the top spot at aftermath.”

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, stands to lose millions from his late grandmother’s inheritance due to a strict clause in her will.

According to reports from PEOPLE and Fox News, Mary Mangione, who passed away in 2023, left roughly $30 million to her children and grandchildren. But her last will and testament had a serious condition attached. Apparently, any of her 10 children and or 37 grandchildren “charged, indicted, convicted of or [who] pleads guilty to a felony” is disqualified from receiving their share of the fortune.

The will outlines its intent with the clause in precise and specific wording, which even eerily goes into detail on the situational application of the subsection, should an incident similar to what occurred earlier this month arise.

“It is my precatory desire that the Trustees particularly consider invoking their discretion to implement this Section if the felony is a common law felony, a statutory felony if it is the codification of a common law felony, a heinous felony, any felony involving a physically violent act against another person or property or any drug-related felony involving distribution or intent to distribute any type of drug or illegal substance,” the legal document reads.

“The decision of the Trustees is conclusive, final and binding on everyone. It is my precatory wish that the benefit of the doubt is not given to the individual.”

With Luigi Mangione now facing charges of second-degree murder, firearm possession and forgery following the December 4 shooting of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel, his eligibility for the inheritance is hanging by a thread.

Aside from the details about the lucrative family inheritance, the shocking case has garnered widespread attention and media coverage due to the nature of the fatal shooting. As of late, the Crime Stoppers bounty reward, which 50 Cent predicted on social media wasn’t large enough, has now come into question.

After Mangione fled the crime scene on a bicycle, investigators lost track of him in Central Park, sparking a five-day manhunt. His capture eventually came on December 9, when a McDonald’s customer in Altoona, Pennsylvania, tipped off an employee about Mangione’s presence. Despite their pivotal role in his arrest, the tipster may not see the $60,000 reward initially advertised by law enforcement.

According to the FBI, reward claims must go through a strict approval process. A U.S. investigating agency must nominate the individual, and the final decision rests with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. The NYPD, which offered $10,000 through its Crime Stoppers program, may also withhold the reward since the tipster didn’t use the official Crime Stoppers channel.

Adding another layer of intrigue, Mangione has now retained powerhouse attorney Karen Friedman-Agnifilo to lead his defense. Friedman-Agnifilo, the wife of Marc Agnifilo—one of Diddy’s current lawyers—has been thrust into the spotlight for representing Mangione in the high-profile case. TMZ reports that the connection between these prominent legal players has fueled further public interest in what is already a sensational story.

Watch the report above to get additional details on the fatal shooting case thus far.

British rapper Slowthai has broken down in court after being cleared of raping a woman at a house party following one of his shows three years ago. 

The Grammy-nominated rapper, real name Tyron Frampton was charged with three joint counts of rape after he and his co-defendant, Alex Blake-Walker, were accused of assaulting two women at the afterparty in September 2021, per BBC News.   

The prosecution had alleged Blake-Walker raped one woman while Slowthai encouraged him. Slowthai then allegedly raped another woman twice. The women had alleged they were assaulted on an outside roof. 

On Monday (December 16), after more than 10 hours of deliberation, a jury at Oxford Crown Court found Slowthai not guilty on three joint counts of rape. Blake-Walker was also cleared on all counts following a two-week trial. 

An overjoyed Slowthai reportedly burst into tears of joy as jurors delivered their verdicts. Crying was also heard from the public gallery where the rapper’s wife, singer Anne-Marie, watched the proceedings.  

The court heard Slowthai performed a gig at The Bullingdon music venue in Oxford on September 7, 2021, where he met a group of women who invited him to a party at one of their homes. The prosecution argued the alleged assaults took place at this party.  

Slowthai admitted to engaging in sexual activity with one of the women but insisted it had been consensual.   

“I know she was consenting,” he said, giving testimony during the trial. “There wasn’t a question.” 

After being charged in 2023, Slowthai was axed from the Glastonbury Festival lineup. Cancellations also followed from Reading and Leeds Festivals amid the allegations.

Bhad Bhabie has been caught up in yet another scandal, except this time, the incident caused bodily harm to an individual rather than a stir on the internet.

According to reports from KTLA, a Lamborghini SUV owned by the media personality and rapper, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, was involved in a fiery car crash in the San Fernando Valley in the early morning hours of Saturday (December 14).

The crash reportedly occurred around 4 a.m. local time on the 5500 block of Tampa Avenue in Tarzana. Preliminary investigations suggest the Los Angeles Police Department may have been pursuing the vehicle before the incident. It’s currently unclear whether Bregoli was present at the time of the crash.

Video footage obtained by KTLA shows the luxury SUV engulfed in flames as police arrived at the scene, with stunned residents watching from their homes. Gina, a neighborhood resident, recounted the chaos, revealing that this wasn’t the only instance something of this nature had occurred on the block.

“Before I ran to the window, I grabbed my phone to call 911 since this wasn’t the first time I’ve had to call them for the same reason,” Gina told KTLA. “I stayed and watched until the fire was out, and I didn’t see anyone drag the body from the car, but I did see a body right in front of our house where the mailbox used to be… moving like they were alive.”

Gina added that the crash damaged her vehicle and destroyed her cemented mailbox. Another resident, Tristan, shared his experience of assisting the driver.

“We came out and tried getting [the driver] out through the driver’s side door; my roommate ran over to the passenger side, opened the door and took the guy out,” Tristan revealed. “We didn’t think he was alive at first.”

The driver was transported to a hospital, though their condition remains unknown. Officers reportedly recovered a gun and luxury watch at the scene.

The Lamborghini that was registered to Bregoli has drawn further attention due to her recent health disclosure. Bregoli, who gained fame in 2016 following her viral “cash me ousside” moment on Dr. Phil, recently addressed speculation about her noticeable weight loss on Instagram. According to a report AllHipHop shared last month, the 21-year-old rapper revealed she’s taking “cancer” medication, though she didn’t confirm a diagnosis.

“I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me [lose] weight,” she wrote in an Instagram Story post on November 7. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running w the worst narratives.”

Her statement appeared to be a response to body-shaming comments on recent posts where she looked visibly slimmer. The news has left fans concerned about her health, though she hasn’t provided additional details.

Tia Mowry is back on top with a new Christmas movie that’s the most viewed holiday movie on Lifetime. She employed the talents of a Hip-Hop video creator-turned-director Bobby Yan, a native New Yorker. who has worked with Master P, interviewed The Notorious B.I.G. and is an 8x-Emmy Award winner.

Yan has been making waves with his festive feature, A Very Merry Beauty Salon, which stars Mowry. The movie skyrocketed to the top as the network’s No. 1 film. Yan says the movie focuses on sisterhood, unity and Black culture.

Yan shared the excitement of seeing A Very Merry Beauty Salon resonate so deeply with viewers to Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur at WonWorld Studios.

“It’s a celebration of community,” he explained, “the kind of story that uplifts while entertaining. That’s always been my goal.”

The director also sang the praises of Tia Mowry, who’s renowned for her role in the sitcom Sister, Sister with twin Tamara. She has since starred in numerous television shows and movies.

“Tia is a consummate professional,” Yan said. “She’s a queen. She’s a professional top to bottom. She’s amazing. She knows her stuff. She is a professional actress. She’s a philanthropist, she’s an entrepreneur. And I think the film shows that because she’s the executive producer. This is her third film in a three picture deal with Lifetime.”

The conversation didn’t stop there.

Yan revealed his next big project, Sugar Mama, a thriller set to premiere January 3, 2025 on Tubi.

“With Sugar Mama, I wanted to step into a different genre and challenge myself,” he noted. “It’s gripping, it’s intense, and I think audiences are going to love it.

“I direct from Spirit. I think that’s the best way to describe it. I’ve been doing this for a really long time. I started in the music industry with music videos many, many years ago. So I directed over a hundred music videos, and I think from that, directing is like music to me.”

Yan’s style, heavily influenced by Hip-Hop culture and visionary directors like Spike Lee, has always been rooted in authenticity and innovation. He grew up in Hollis, Queens as Run-DMC exploded on the scene, and then worked under the legend “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels at the famed Video Music Box. In the interview with Creekmur, he wore a VMB hoodie to pay homage.

“Hip-Hop taught me to think outside the box,” he reflected. “It’s about finding your voice and staying true to it.”

Yan’s groundbreaking New Orleans show, Hip Hop Half Hour, played a crucial role in connecting him with McDaniels and introduced him to a wider audience. The show highlighted local talent, further cementing his ties to the Hip-Hop community.

Reflecting on his early career, Yan revealed that the first music video he ever worked on was for Master P’s “No More Tears.”

Working with director Quinn Armstrong while living in New Orleans, Bobby Yan witnessed the Southern Hip-Hop scene that was blossoming at the time.

“The beauty of it was being part of the local community and seeing artists like Juvenile, Cash Money and Mystikal grow from their beginnings,” he said. Yan even recalled lunchtime encounters with Mystikal, then known as Michael, during his college days. “His cousin worked on my show, so he’d sneak into the lunchroom. Back then, he had the hair, the braids—even before he became Mystikal.”

A graduate of the ABC Disney Directing Program, Bobby Yan is also known as both a cool person and creative genius. He’s solidified his reputation as one of the most respected directors in the industry today.

“We need more voices telling stories that matter,” he said. “For me, it’s not just about making movies; it’s about making an impact.”
