50 Cent’s New Announcement

50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, is back at it, again proving that he is the TV’s King Midas. According to a recent press release, 50 Cent, in collaboration with Lion Gate Television and Paramount Pictures, is working on a new series entitled “Vice City.”

GTA Fans Get Slightly Disappointed

The announcement of the 50’s new project excited GTA fans. GTA fans know a little about “Vice City,” a Rock City game released in 2002. And given the game’s plot, it was easy to see why fans felt a certain level of exuberance and anticipation. “GTA: Vice City” synopsis describes the plot as follows:

In the aftermath of a deal gone wrong that resulted in Tommy’s bodyguards getting killed and Sonny’s money and drugs being lost, Tommy decides to get vengeance on those responsible.

And Jackson’s earlier cryptic social media post fueled the fervor.

In the end, however, those hopes were crushed when it was revealed the new series, which will be called Vice City, has no connection to the game. As Game Rant notes,

“Sorry Grand Theft Auto fans, for those hyped by rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson teasing an announcement involving “Vice City” it’s now been revealed the new project has nothing to do with Rockstar but is a TV project involving John Wick’s Chad Stahelski and Lionsgate Television.”

Jackson’s Vice City

While the announcement may have crushed some fans of “GTA,” the plot still looks extremely promising. According to several sources, “Vice City” is a series that will take viewers back in time. The series is said to be set in the ’80s, around the time of the Iran Contra Scandal. The primary characters have strong links to the scandal. As Yahoo notes,

“Vice City” will follow “three friends (former soldiers), returning to their home city of Miami in the mid-’80s after a dishonorable discharge from the military for involvement in the Iran Contra scandal.”

Surely there is no denying this reads like the opening to a killer drama.

Jackson, The Guru Of Drama

Considering what is known, there will be drama, lots of it. How could a Jackson piece be drama-free? The entire Power universe, formed under his hands, is rife with drama. In this series, the soldiers who have fallen on bad luck turn to a life of crime. They form the ultimate heist team. When ambition, money, criminal pursuits, and military skill combine, it is impossible to predict what will happen.

The Wrap Up

Currently, “Vice City” is in development, so it will be a while before its release. But until then, there is still much to look forward to from Jackson. As Yahoo notes,

“On February 14, 50 Cent announced he was partnering up with FOX entertainment on a non-exclusive broadcast deal to develop “scripted dramas, live-action comedies, and animated series.”

And in the interim, there is always “Power Ghost II,” whose season premiere is Mar 17.

Teyana Taylor to Make a Splash in New Movie “A Thousand And One”

The press has been buzzing over the recently released trailer of Teyana Taylor’s upcoming film A Thousand and One. And it is for a good reason.

The Multi-talented Teyana Taylor

The word renaissance man gets thrown around a lot. However, if there were ever a perfect caricature of a renaissance queen, it would be Teyana Taylor. When it comes to the entertainment industry, she is fierce. Her hats are numerous. Taylor has credits as a songwriter, choreographer, singer, model, director, and actress. She does it all and does it well. No matter what capacity she holds space, she commands it. And now she’s set to command the big screen in her new role.

A Thousand and One

A Thousand and One is a nail-biting drama about a mother, freshly released from prison, to find her six-year-old son is not where she thought he’d be. But when she discovers his whereabouts, she takes matters into her own hands. As Collider notes, “Together (she and her son) must keep an explosive secret while they attempt to reclaim their sense of home, identity, and stability.” And if the synopsis sounds like the intro to a high-intensity drama, it should. The film is heralded as a heartwarming feature that will take fans on an intensely emotional journey. 

Familiar Terrain For Teyana Taylor

Taylor is not new to the silver screen. Many may recognize her from such projects as the long-awaited sequel of Coming to America, Coming to America 2, and The Afterparty. Despite the credits under her belt, this will mark the first time she has nabbed a leading role. But expectations are high. Viewers of the trailer are already applauding Taylor’s brilliant and authentically moving performance. It doesn’t hurt that the film’s win at the Sundance Film Festival already indicates an impending success.

A.V. Rockwell: The Director

A.V. Rockwell serves as the director of the inspired piece. And she’s had no qualms about opening up about that inspiration. In speaking of her inspiration, Rockwell told IndieWire, When creating the piece, “She was thinking a lot about the people she grew up with and mourning the home they had — feeling pushed out.” And so, as she continued, “She wanted to speak to that experience and talk to New York’s relationship not only to the community she represents but also to itself.” 

Rockwell Chooses Taylor

It was Rockwell who chose Taylor. While she admitted initially she wasn’t sure about casting the multi-talent, Taylor won her over. The director told Collider that she got to see the authenticity she sought. She felt that through her performance, [Taylor] knew the character that she plays in real life or was able to convince Rockwell that she [Taylor] is the human being in a way that she [Rockwell] needed an actress to connect to the work. 

Prediction of Success

Although the feature film is due for release on March 31, it has already received some critical acclaim. According to Vibe, the jury citation after the final Jury decision at the Sundance Family read, “Never have I seen a life so similar to my own rendered with such nuance and tenderness. I walked out of the theatre weeping in front of people I barely know,” which reads as a most-high accomplishment.

Conclusion

So, whether to support Taylor, check out Rockwell’s inspirational work, or enjoy a wonderful film, take some time to plan to see One Thousand and One coming soon to theatres nationwide.

DaBaby Says He Slept With Megan Thee Stallion In Latest Track ‘Boogeyman’

North Carolina rapper DaBaby reportedly said he slept with Texas rapper Megan Thee Stallion in his new track “Boogeyman.”

According to Newsweek, DaBaby made the bold claims in a line of the new song, which dropped on Sept. 23–the same day as his new album Baby on Baby 2. In the beginning of “Boogeyman,” the rapper said he slept with Megan several times, days before Canadian singer Tory Lanez allegedly shot her.

“The day before she said that Tory Lanez shot her, I was f***in on Megan Thee Stallion,” he rapped immediately after calling her childish.

The Houston hottie accused Tory of shooting her in the foot back in 2020. She also accused him of telling her to “dance b***h” while doing so. Later that year, authorities charged Tory and he pleaded not guilty. His criminal trial was initially supposed to take place in September 2022, but officials scheduled it for later in the year.

DaBaby continued, warning that his opposition would have to “handle me” if they started “poking the bear.” 

The 30-year-old previously worked with him on her 2019 hit “Cash S**t” and her 2020 hit “Cry Baby.” DaBaby also featured Megan as a guest artist on his 2020 song “Nasty.” However, their camaraderie seems to have died down completely since then.

Baby on Baby 2 arrived just weeks after his recent New Orleans concert was reportedly canceled due to low ticket sales. He was going to perform at Smoothie King Center in September, alongside guests NoCap and Showtek. However, Ticketmaster revealed that fans only bought a small number of seats. The Smoothie King center reportedly has a capacity of 14,000 people. 

Megan has not publicly responded to DaBaby’s claims. On a lighter note, she will be performing and hosting a Saturday Night Live episode in October.

The State Of Georgia Complains To Forfeit Young Thug’s Belongings

YSL RICO Case Attorney Asks Judge To Delay Trial
Young Thug's Appearance in court following the RICO arrest. Image source: arvin.temkar@ajc.com.

Young Thug has already spent a reasonable amount of time in custody. He initially went under arrest based on the questionable RICO case, which applies to YSL artists’ song lyrics as allegedly credible evidence. 

The court also denied bond to Young Thug on multiple occasions. His inability to fulfill commitments resulted in more problems, such as A-1 Concert Entertainment suing the artist for missing out on the “Young Thug and Friends” music festival. 

All of the above was insufficient for the state of Georgia’s judicial branch to reverse to third-world standards. You know, the ones supporting the usage of a product of artistic expression as a piece of reasonable evidence. The new questionable reports now come in. 

According to AllHipHop, the state seized Young Thug’s belongings and now wants to forfeit them. The belongings at least include almost $150k in cash and 87 pieces of jewelry. There also was such significant evidence as “a green…sweatshirt.” 

Maybe law enforcement should also bring up extremism charges. Since the shirt has “the phrase ‘SLIME OVER S#### Make America Slime Again.'” 

Why Forfeiting Young Thug’s Property?

The reason why the authorities want to forfeit Thug’s property remains unclear. The Rafaello & Company jewelry claims to own nine chains from the artist’s apartment, which he allegedly never gave back.

However, even the law enforcement declares that “[out] of the nine jewelry pieces which Rafaello & Company Inc. asserts to own…only four pieces resemble any of the…jewelry seized. The other five pieces…do not resemble any of the pieces of jewelry seized.” The reasoning behind seizing the rest of the property, apart from 9 chains, is also unclear.

Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, also seems confused by the state’s actions. It makes sense since one can easily find them unconstitutional. 

“Forfeiture of the seized property is barred by the prohibition against excessive fines set forth in the Eighth Amendment,” Steel explained. “The property was either purchased in lawful arms length transactions…or the items were gifted to Claimant by persons who have untainted funds.”

While the situation with Young Thug’s property remains unclear, the artist himself doesn’t seem to get out of jail anytime soon. 

Thug’s incarceration is very controversial due to a multitude of reasons. Questionable lyrics-evidence, and allegedly terrible jail conditions. Multiple bond denials eventually brought more civil court cases to the artist–and now the questionable property seizure, which even the Georgian police finds troublesome to forfeit.

Hopefully, this sorrowful situation will soon end for Young Thug, and the overall problem of using lyrics as evidence will also end.

Drake Fires Back At Music Critic Anthony Fantano Over Leaking Fake DMs

Drake's Birthday Party Takes Place In Miami

Grammy Award-winning rapper Drake recently fired back at music critic Anthony Fantano. He fired back because Anthony allegedly leaked fake DMs.

Anthony Fantano Leaks Allegedly Fake DMs From Drizzy

“Anthony! It’s Drizzy,” the alleged fake message said. The YouTuber recited it in his latest video that dropped on Sept. 15. “I know we don’t really see eye-to-eye about music and that you are not the biggest fan of most of my albums (thanks for the kind words on Take Care and If You’re Reading This tho). But it is what it is, you know. Can always hope you’ll like the next one! But I’m not messaging you about your videos. I’m actually messaging you cause I found a really great vegan cookie recipe I’d love you to try.”

The following message included instructions on how to make vegan cookies, including the proper ingredients. 

“I’d really appreciate it if you could give this a spin and let me know if it’s worth trying myself! Appreciate you! Drizzy out!” the end of the message said. 

Drake Responds To Anthony

A few hours after Anthony released the video, Drake clapped back via Instagram stories. There, the Honestly Nevermind rapper shared the allegedly real DMs he sent to the music critic. The messages were reportedly in reference to Anthony’s rating system for his album reviews.

“Your existence is a light 1. And the 1 is cause your alive. And cause you somehow wifed a black girl. I’m feeling a light to decent 1 on your existence.”

Anthony Returns With Another Shady Response

After Drake’s response, Anthony took to Instagram Live to take shots at the six god. He called Drizzy “salty,” “in his feelings” and “obssessed” for knowing his rating system. The music critic even threw jabs the musician for allegedly using a ghostwriter. 

“Drake was in his feelings, as he does tend to be, because that is his nature, that is his vibe, that is his style, that’s his whole thing. Being in his feelings, that’s his brand, you could say…He was in his feelings Wednesday night, very late into the evening…It was a salty little DM, it was quite sad and unfortunate…A couple of things were running through my head…One: ‘Why is Drake messaging me? I’m not 18 years of age. That’s kinda weird.’ Second thing I was thinking: ‘This man is familiar enough with me to know my rating system. Seems a little odd, seems a little obsessed.’…The other thing that I was thinking is that, why did he say the ‘light one’ thing twice?…I don’t know why he said that weak a*s line two times. It also made me think, this is why he has ghostwriters.”

Kanye West Reveals Some of his Favorite Music Via Flurry Of Instagram Posts

In a highly hectic series of recent Instagram posts, this Chicago legend has given props to his peers and criticism to Adidas.

Kanye West‘s Instagram feed has been a mix of strange and fascinating for the past couple of weeks. The 45-year-old has been using the social media app to personally call out some of the people in his life, specifically the Adidas staff.

Kanye’s Calm Before the Storm

The more positive term began with an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive tackler Aaron Donald. In the interview, West asks the athlete what exactly he’s looking for in a shoe. “Yeezy Cleats coming soon” he typed in the caption. This is yet another big fashion venture for the already accomplished mogul. While Yeezy’s have seen a massive amount of success, athletic wear would be a first for Kanye.

Kanye then proceeded to upload a clip of Celtics player Jaylen Brown and an unknown woman playing billiards with the post captioned: “pool sharks.”

Of course, this streak of peacefulness didn’t last for too long.

“Just in case Instagram never lets me post again I need everyone to know one last thing…. Black hats matter,” he typed in the following post. He continued this cryptic rant in the caption, “In case it’s not clear I’m not working with Daniel Son Everybody quit since he been here Putting weaklings in positions of artificial power demoralizes the whole team I guess everyone will just blame Kasper adidas when I leave I’m still going to take my 15% on the fake 350s you gonna run.”

The Kanye/ Adidas Conflict

The Yeezus” rapper swiftly continued to post about his fashion-related ideas including new slides and pants. He then put up a screenshot of a comment left on one of those posts from IG user Deliberatew. The comment shed some light on the need for homeless people to have a backpack with features that can help their dire situation. Apparently, he loved the idea as he co-signed the comment in his caption. “Love this thinking”

If you’re a fan of Kanye, you may have already been following his fiery feud with Adidas. The “Mixed Personalities” artist screenshot a fans story, calling for Ye to release a  list of official shoe colorways so buyers can avoid fakes.

A post shared by ye (@kanyewest)

“Ye we need the list of unapproved YEEZY’s we the REAL YEEZY ARMY & we ain’t buying colorways designed by [clown emoji]” the post reads. Clearly, Kanye isn’t interested in patching things up with the global corporation just yet.

“The fact adi felt they could color my shoes and name them without my approval is really wild” he began in the caption. “But I promise everyone adidas is not as wild as me I really really care about building something that changes the world and something I can leave to my kids They tried to buy me out for 1 billion dollars My royalties next year are 500 million dollars alone Daniel Cherry Pop makes 2 million a year Yeezy’s are 68 percent of adidas on line sales You guys thought cause DCP Daniel Cherry Pop went to Warden that he could politely give me a billion dollars to hand everything I built over.”

What’s in Rotation

Amidst all the corporate drama, Ye touched on more lighthearted matters. He revealed his favorite comedians of all time in a long list. “Me Mitch Hedberg Anthony Jeselnik Louis CK Jerrod Carmichael Deray JP Smooth Mase Elon Musk 50 Justin LaBoy GLC Eddie Murphy Sakiya Sandifer Chris Rock Larry David Kevin Hart (In Jumanji) and of course King David Dave Chapelle.”

In addition to this, Kanye posted some of his favorite drops in the music world. Namely, “Church Girl” by Beyonce and “God Did” with DJ Khaled and Rick Ross got some props. In a stunning statement, Kanye deemed “Essence” by Wizkid and Tems the “best song in the history of music to date.”

Kanye is never one to dash grudges. After posting about his playlist, Ye subsequently began posting the names and faces of high-ranking Adidas employees. Jing Ulrich, Guenter Weigl, Thomas Rabe, Bodo Uebber, and Micheal Storl are only a few of the 16 staff posted by Kanye along with a mysterious caption. “Sending super positive love and good energy :)))” he typed under senior Vice President of global sports marketing Guenter Weigl. “Sooooo much positivity” he captioned with a photo of chief executive officer Sawiris. It’s unknown what exactly Ye’s motive is for posting the long string of employee photos.

50 Cent May Have Squashed Longstanding Beef With Floyd Mayweather

50 cent floyd mayweather

It appears that 50 Cent has decided to end his long feud with Floyd Mayweather. After years of beefing both on and offline, the rapper posted a picture on Instagram which seems to suggest that the two have made up.

50’s post features a photo of Floyd with the “Confirmed Tycoon” stamp over the picture. “Yeah Champ said he gonna pull on me for Tycoon so you know we gonna go crazy. Big bags coming out TMT floydmayweather BOOM,” the caption read.

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have fired shots at one another on social media and in interviews for years. The beef reached new heights in February when 50 said that he would be open to a boxing match with Floyd. The rapper’s only concern was being able to make weight.

“I’d fight Floyd if I could get down there. Or he could just let me not have to get down to 150. I could make about 180. He walking around 150, maybe 147,” 50 said. As for “Pretty Boy” Floyd, he said that he would do the fight regardless of weight class.

“If [50 Cent] wants to lace up at the end of the year we can do an exhibition then. I don’t care about weight class with any of these guys. The Paul brothers will make great money with the events, but with 50 Cent it has to be Winner Takes All,” Floyd said on social media.

The two are expected to link up next weekend at 50’s new Tycoon Comedy Music Festival in Houston. The festival will take place at the Toyota Center from August 25-28. The lineup consists of well-known comedians such as B-Simone, DC Youngfly, Karlous Miller and Michael Blackson.

The background of 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather’s beef

There isn’t a definite reason for the feud between 50 and Floyd. In 2014, the rapper went viral when he bet $750,000 that Mayweather couldn’t read a Harry Potter book. The incident led to shots between the entertainers, who were once close friends.

The two appeared to bury the hatchet in 2015. However, by 2018 they were beefing once again. Mayweather has even stated that even he doesn’t know how the feud started.

“We could have stayed friends,” the boxer said on Drink Champs in 2020. “I never asked him to be a part of G-Unit. I just thought we had a genuine friendship. That’s what I thought. It is what it is.”

Beyonce’s New Album ‘Renaissance’ Tops Charts

beyonce

Beyonce’s long-anticipated album Renaissance made its debut on July 29. After one week, the numbers are in and they speak to the consistency of Queen Bey.

The Numbers For Beyonce’s Renaissance

The project debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the biggest week for a female artist in 2022. As a result, the album earned 332,000 equivalent units. Of that number, 190,000 were traditional album sales while 138,000 came from SEA units. In total, the album was streamed nearly 180 million times on-demand.

Beyonce’s Renaissance is her seventh solo No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, and is the first project by a female artist this year to take the spot. Only Harry Styles’ Harry’s House had a bigger sales week when it gathered 521,500 equivalent album units in May.

Renaissance actually exceeded projections, which had predicted the album earning between 275,000 and 315,000 units. Those numbers were driven by the largest streaming week of Queen Bey’s career, which would have been enough to earn her the top spot.

Beyonce also had the third biggest traditional sales week for an artist this year, trailing only Harry’s House and BTS’s Proof. Ahead of the album’s release, Beyonce sold out four boxed set editions through her webstore. This accounted for 136,000 units, 0r 72 percent of the album sales for the debut week.

How Renaissance differs from Bey’s other projects

Unlike Bey’s last two solo albums, Renaissance wasn’t a surprise release. The project was announced in June, with its first single “Break My Soul” dropping on June 20. In comparison, her two previous albums were both digital exclusives, with physical releases following later.

Also, unlike her last two albums, Renaissance was not introduced with any official music videos. Lemonade debuted with its eponymous film, while Beyonce was accompanied by 18 music videos. As of August 7, only lyric videos have been released for Renaissance.

On September 16, Renaissance will be released on vinyl to all retailers, with expanded packaging and the standard album cover.

Mystikal Arrested On Rape, Domestic Violence Charges

mystikal

Rapper Mystikal was arrested Sunday on charges of rape and domestic abuse. The New Orleans native also faces charges of false imprisonment and property damage. According to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, no bond has been set for Mystikal. He also hasn’t appeared before a judge.

Police responded to a hospital call regarding a sexual assault late Saturday night. After interviewing the victim, Mystikal was identified as a suspect and arrested on Sunday. The victim also reportedly sustained minor injuries from the assault. A spokesperson from the Sheriff’s Office gave a statement regarding the investigation.

“He was arrested and booked into the Ascension Parish jail,” Donovan Jackson said. “This is an ongoing investigation. Further details may be limited at this time.”

Mystikal’s reps declined to comment. However, this isn’t the first time the Grammy-nominated artist has faced charges of sexual misconduct.

Mystikal’s History With The Law

In 2017, the rapper was indicted on rape and kidnapping charges. He spent 18 months behind bars before being released on a $3 million bond. According to the Associated Press, the charges were dropped by the Caddo Parish District Attorney after a second grand jury declined to bring an indictment.

Mystikal served a six-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to sexual battery in 2003. The rapper allegedly forced his then-hairstylist to perform sexual acts on him and two bodyguards. The hairstylist also allegedly cashed thousands of dollars worth of unauthorized checks from Mystikal’s account. As a result of his conviction, the rapper is a registered sex offender.

He emerged on the music scene in the ’90s with his hit track “Here I Go” before joining Master P’s No Limit Records in 1996. He then went on to produce hit songs such as “Shake Ya A**” and “Danger (Been So Long),” earning a 2001 Grammy nomination.

Mystikal would go on to earn two more Grammy nods in 2003, one for Best Rap Album and another for Best Male Rap Solo Performance.

Atlanta rapper Quavo will be headlining Trioscope and Quality Control‘s action-thriller franchise, Takeover.

Takeover will reportedly be built within an NFT community platform titled Takeover World. Quavo fans will also get to partake in the building of the platform. Takeover World recently became Trioscope’s first-ever Web3-enabled community.

Takeover Will Highlight Atlanta’s Love For Street Culture

The Takeover film is a feature-length thriller which will go into production this August. The film will highlight Atlanta’s fascination with street takeover culture. Trioscope will achieve this via its patented technology that combines live-action performances with groundbreaking CGI. 

“This project is the future of movie making,” Quavo said. “It gets fans involved at the onset of Takeover World, the opportunity to own a piece of a new franchise and the ability to influence and be part of how an action feature gets made.”

Co-founder and CEO of Trioscope, L.C. Crowley added that Takeover World is the company’s “initial foray into the Web3 space.”

“Takeover World is just our initial foray into the Web3 space, where entertainment intersects with crypto, and we plan to expand our capabilities exponentially,” Crowley said. “We’re encouraging fans to get in the driver seat with us from the jump to help build the world and shape the story with us.”

Trioscope And Quality Films, Among Others, Will Begin Filming Takeover In August

Trioscope will produce it in partnership with Quality Films, the film unit of Quality Control, and Georgia Production Finance. It was also written by world-renowned action screenwriter Jeb Stuart. Stuart has written popular action movies, including the blockbuster hits Die Hard (1988) and The Fugitive (1993). Stuart also wrote the 2022 Netflix series, Vikings: Valhalla.

In addition, Trioscope Chief Creative Officer Greg Jonkajtys will direct Takeover. Jonkatys directed the 2020 Netflix drama, The Liberator. 

This project isn’t the first acting gig that Quavo landed since he rose to stardom in the ’10s. He also appeared in the hit FX series Atlanta (2016 – present), the ABC series Black-ish (2014-2022), and the Netflix film, Wash Me in the River (2022).
