50 Cent Almost Married Vivica A. Fox!

By Rico Panacea (@RicoPanacea) (AllHipHop Rumors) Vivica A. Fox and 50 Cent had an interesting relationship in the mid-2000s. While the relationship would be featured in tabloids, nothing really was known about the romance. The relationship would go on to end and was essentially short-lived. People still wonder about the inner workings of the celebrities relationship. Recently Vivica A. Fox announced she would be releasing her “Every Day, I’m Hustling” self-help book. In the book, the 53-year-old decided to talk about the romance, because she said 50 Cent has invented stories about her. In one chapter, she claimed 50 Cent was planning to propose to her. According to The New York Daily News: “Fox later found out that the rapper had been ready to propose to her during a trip to Monaco, where the pair was taking part in the World Music Awards in 2003. Fitty had planned to rent out a theater in Monte Carlo, show a print of ‘Kill Bill, Vol. 1’ — in which she starred — and then propose at the end with a 14-carat diamond ring.” According to Vivica, 50 got petty and abandoned the idea because he felt she was hogging the spotlight after she signed on as the host of the World Music Awards. 50 wasted no time in replying to Vivica Fox.

Did Biggie Really Get Naked In The Studio?

By Ne’ Richa (@IAmNeRicha) (AllHipHop Rumors) The world’s most creative artists all have their own way of getting “in the zone.” Apparently, Biggie may have been more “free” than what many of his fans would have expected. The rapper was known to “bare it all” in the studio, both artistically…and physically. D-Roc shared a few details during an interview on Tidal where he expressed how B.I.G. would strip down to his boxers during the more heated recording sessions. Was he hot? Feeling himself? No one really knows…but it definitely seems to correlate with a tidbit of information that Diddy shared a few years back about the “Respect” interlude on Ready To Die, which featured some very convincing audio of B.I.G. receiving head. Diddy confirmed this audio to be authentic, which adds even more charisma to the classic album that introduced us to the Brooklyn phenom.

50 Cent Goes In On Vivica Fox Over New Book

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent has blasted actress Vivica Fox, over comments she made about their sex life in her upcoming book. Vivica’s self-help book “Everyday I’m Hustling,” is ironically titled after a hit made by 50 Cent’s nemesis, Rick Ross. The inspirational book combines advice with lessons Vivica has learned throughout her career. Although she claims she enjoyed having sex with 50 Cent, she said his lovemaking style was “PG-13.” “Most of the time, I would be the one initiating sex, because I really enjoyed making love with him,” Vivica writes in “Everyday I’m Hustling.” 50 was not too pleased when he woke up this morning to the stories about his intimate times with Vivica. “I’m waking up to this s##t, that was 14 years ago,” 50 Cent wrote. “Smh who does this? What the f##k!” Elsewhere in the book, Vivica details the issues she has encountered being an African-American actress in Hollywood, including run-ins with directors like Quentin Tarantino on the set of “Kill Bill.” “Everyday I’m Hustling” is due in stores on April 3rd. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bggb81nl4f9/

Lil Xan Ducks Into YMCA To Avoid Beatdown From Tupac Fans

(AllHipHop News) Newcomer Lil Xan almost caught a beatdown from a mob of angry Tupac fans last week. According to police, Xan was in town for a meet-and-greet, when he decided to stop at a Del Taco in Redlands, California to grab a bite to eat. That’s when a group of high school-aged kids surrounded him, over his recent comments about rapper Tupac Shakur. Lil Xan publically stated Tupac’s music was “boring,” sparking a backlash online, which resulted in Waka Flocka “banning” the rapper from Hip-Hop. And now, his comments have spilled over into the real world. The group of students began threatening Lil Xan, to the point that he ran out of the Del Taco and into the safety of a local YMCA. The rapper was so terrified, a cop had to escort him to his car to ensure his safety, according to an official police report. Xan tried to clean up his comments at the meet-and-greet. “The media twisted my words. I think Tupac is a legend,” the rapper said. “Tupac is definitely a legend.” https://www.google.com/sorry/index?continue=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXk5uTpS4zI&q=EgQi3HnaGNT0gvkFIhkA8aeDS6HPceC-LQO7imn3fIrwTRqMUxEBMgFy

Lawsuit Says Lil Uzi, Rick Ross Cost Promoters $200Gs For Nothing

(AllHipHop News) Lil Uzi Has been slapped with a lawsuit for bailing on a concert last summer with Rick Ross. Promoters added Lil Uzi to an existing lawsuit against Rick Ross, claiming they shelled out almost $200,000 in deposits to secure the rap stars. Promoters claim they had secured a minor league baseball park in Pennsylvania for the concert, but Rick Ross decided to bail out with just two days notice. Lil Uzi is accused of doing the same thing and costing the promoters hundreds of thousands of dollars in booking fees alone. The promoters are suing to get their deposit money back, plus damages. It could be a sign of things to come for Lil Uzi, who also bailed out on the BUKA Festival for no apparent reason last weekend.

Two former employees of NBC filed a $2 million lawsuit against Quest and the network, alleging they were booted from “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” because they are white. Two cameramen, Kurt Decker and Michael Cimino, claimed they received an unsolicited, racist, misogynistic text sent from a stagehand on the set. The two men claim they were fired after they complained to producers of “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” According to new legal documents, Questlove is asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming Kurt Decker and Michael Cimino have not followed NBC’s arbitration process. Quest argues that if there was an issue, the parties should have attempted to resolve the matter before legal action was taken. Questlove just asking a judge to dismiss the case. The Roots co-founder blasted the lawsuit when it was first filed in January. “Racism is REAL and exists throughout the world and for these gentlemen to claim victim is not only disrespectful to Questlove and his bandmates but to all that truly endure racism on a daily basis,” a representative for Questlove said in a statement. “As NBC already stated, the decisions made regarding these employees were made by NBC, alone.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine Has Slick Talk For Game And J. Prince Jr. After Disses

(AllHipHop News) A new beef is brewing in hip-hop, and this one could get ugly. Last night (March 16) in Slovenia, Game blatantly dissed one of the most controversial rapper’s in the business – Tekashi 6ix9ine. Game took to the stage at Kino Siska in where he encouraged and led the crowd with the chant “f##k 6ix9ine…fake ass blood.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BgbDg4aBmrz/ Game, who dedicated the tour to his late father George Taylor, is a well-known member of the Bloods street gang. As for Tekashi 6ix9ine, he has angered many gang members by refusing to “check in” with local shot callers when he’s in a particular city. Most recently, J. Prince Jr. called the rapper out, for refusing to check in. J Prince Jr., who is the son of Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince, denied Tekashi 6ix9ine entry into his birthday celebration in Houston last weekend. So it looks like Tekashi 6ix9ine had one message for both men. “Y’all live off ya fathers name. I made my own,” Tekashi said. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgakN_KA02P

50 Cent Ethers Troy Ave Once Again!

By Rico Panacea (@RicoPanacea) (AllHipHop Rumors) It’s easy to say that 50 Cent is growing dislike for Troy Ave, but 50 Cent is growing dislike for Troy Ave. The tension between the two New York rappers is growing more by the day. Troy Ave is in the middle of fighting serious charges stemming from an arrest. However, 50 Cent has no sympathy for Troy Ave as he continues to deal with the situation. 50 Cent has taken a stance of not agreeing with Troy’s way of handling the situation. Troy, on the other hand, thinks he is handling things appropriately as he’s the one facing a 20-40 year prison sentence. Even with that being said 50 Cent still finds Troy’s actions to be somewhat suspect. The G-Unit huncho isn’t one to bite his tongue and once again let his feelings on the matter be known via social media. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/p/BgWGPrDFWqT/ “These ni66a’s telling s### The people didn’t even ask them. Damn what about the Gang Blood. LOL.,” said 50 Cent. While Troy Ave isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Instagram caption, people still took it as a shot at Troy. The reason being the photo that was used in the posted Instagram picture. It depicts a man from the 1980’s shooting the judge a middle finger and a child from the 1990’s pointing at someone. The suggestion of snitching is easily noticed as it accompanies the caption. Troy Ave has yet to respond, but we’re sure he will have something to say about this.
