We truly cannot understand 50′s motivation sometimes. For example, yesterday, he sold his Twitter followers a serious pipe dream. 50 Cent caused a mob scene at a party for “Scream 4″ Tuesday night when he tweeted that his fans should join him at the shindig. The rap icon had hit up his Twitter account that afternoon saying, “Come party with me following the premiere of Scream 4 at Mister H tonight in NY.” About 40 fans showed up at the club inside the Mondrian Soho ready to party — but they couldn’t get past the velvet rope at the swanky subterranean hideaway. Fitty himself showed up hours late to the fete. For what, 50? For what?? SMH. Source
Rumor has it that there is a sex tape with singer Ciara and ex-boy toy 50 Cent floating around the hands of some “hood dudes.” Mediatakeout.com reports that “Ciara is “s*ckin some [dude] off and [having unprotected sex]. You can’t see the [dude’s] face, but he is built and sounds like 50.” The video is said to be very graphic but there is no confirmation that it is indeed Ci Ci. The perpetrators are asking for $50,000 in exchange for the video.

Its hard out here for a P.I.M.P. Trouble selling his mansion, 50 cent has decided to cut the price in nearly half. Just like the majority of people, the declining housing market even has 50 cent struggling to sell his 50,000 square foot, 52 room mansion equiped with an elevator, night club and recording studio. After originally asking $18.5 million, Curtis is now selling the Farmington Estate, or the “Playboy Mansion of the East” as he calls it, for under $10 million. 50 bought the house in 2003 off of Mike Tyson’s ex-wife Monica Turner for $4.1 million, who originally asked $25 million. Curtis has reportedly put in improvements and additions costing as much as $6 million. F*ck it. At this point just take your “L” and move on, the real estate game is twisted right now and selling that big a** house is no easy task. Sorry Read more at HipHopWired.com

In addition to Young Buck ‘s tax problems, the rapper is now being sued by his record label, G-Unit Records for $10 million. The label filed the claim in Buck’s bankruptcy case in the event that he breaches his contract. 50 Cent: I’m Not Sure You’ll Want To Jump Over The Table & F**k Chelsea Handler An Open Letter To Chris Brown From Kevin Powell A claim was also filed for $171,000 relating to a $300,000 loan from 50 Cent in 2005. A total of 14 claims have been filed against Young Buck totalling over $11 million. Young Buck’s lawyer, Robin Mitchell Joyce, says that Buck’s largest problem was that he was unaware of many of the business deals he was involved in. “One of the biggest problems with Buck’s situation is not only that it’s so complex, but also that he didn’t understand it,” Joyce said. “The money went in and the money went out and Buck’s universe of knowledge about his financial state is a balance on an ATM receipt. … Buck never knew at one point, at several points, that he was a millionaire.” Spotted @ BallerStatus.com RELATED: Young Buck Facing 10 Years For Gun Charge RELATED: Young Buck Planning 50 Cent Lawsuit Over Record Deal
50 Cent has been known to be a trouble maker in the music industry and it may be easier to pick his top ten beefs, but it is just as easy to pick 50 Cent’s top 10 songs. After dealing with industry politics and the politics of the streets, 50 Cent found himself along side Eminem dominating the rap game. Check out my top 10 50 Cent songs below. WBW: Top 9 Music Videos Of The 2000s “In Da Club” – They say any song that’s simple and catchy and it doesn’t get any simpler than: “Go Shorty, it’s your birthday we gone party like its your birthday.” After releasing several hot mixtapes on the streets, I think this track may have certified 50 Cent as a legit maker. Dr. Dre’s beat had such a perfect bounce that folks that it was meant for Detox. “What Up Gangsta” – The follow up track after the intro on Get Rich Or Die Trying was the perfect aggressive track to start the album off. The beat dropped with such force that you knew he meant business from the jump. What makes this one of 50′s best is that he basically laid it down that he wanted problems. Hate him or love him you would not ignore him! “Many Men” (Wish Death) – The song told the story of how and why people hate on another individual working hard to get to the top. This worked so well because 50 Cent was an underdog, but ironically he is the one now looking to end careers. “I Get Money” – During the battle with Kanye West on who would sell the most records, this was the track that put life into the Curtis album. The shocker was getting Diddy and Jay-z on the remix, one of 50 Cents many great ideas, along with sampling the classic Audio Two’s “Top Billing.” There was also some controversy about the beat being extremely similar to Cassidy’s 2005 hit “I’m A Hustler.” “Candy Shop “- Featuring Olivia (who was once the first lady of G-Unit) has to be 50 Cent’s most commercial song to date. When I say commercial, I mean the sound had to be the most pop 50 Cent has ever gone. The chart topper helped 50 Cent sell over 1 million albums during its first week release of ”The Massacre.” “Window Shopper” – off the “Get Rich or Die Tryin” soundtrack is where 50 Cent got to do what he does best; stuntin on em and taunting people. “How 2 Rob” – featuring D-Dot aka The Mad Rapper was what got 50 Cent noticed in the public and industry. I think any song about how to rob actual rappers and r&b singers would get attention, but 50 Cent caused a frenzy with this one by naming names of real people. A few people even made response records. “21 Questions” is one of 50 Cent’s best ballads. As soon as that Barry White guitar lick kicks in you know where things are headed. Yes, his first album was probably his best but this was a big reason why. “Ayo Technology ” featuring Justin Timberlake also helped keep the album “Curtis” alive after releasing several singles that did not grab the attention of the people. “Wangsta”- The second single off the 8 Mile soundtrack coining the term “Wangsta” as someone who does a lot of fronting, who isn’t what they claim to be. The hood began using this term for a while and some people possibly still do. Word was this term was created to describe his rival Ja Rule.
