50 Cent doesn’t deal with small change. Especially last year, when the G-Unit boss took home over 150 million dollars. The haul landed him the number one spot on Forbes “Top 20 Hip-Hopreneurs” list. Fif ranked number two last year, behind Jay-Z with Diddy coming it at number three. The ranking of the three inspired the “I Get Money” remix. This year, however, Hov ranks behind 50 with Diddy maintaining at three and Kanye West joining them in fourth place. [SOHH]
For the mother of Yung Joc’s child, it ain’t going down. Allegedly the rapper won’t pay her child support to the tune of $2,000 a month. Says Fatimah Jester: “[Joc has] all kinds of cars,” including Bentleys and Mercedes Benzes. But hasn’t lent any money to support his young son. The pair are due in court September 11. [TMZ]

Young Jeezy and Nas haven’t always seen eye to eye. There was the N’s Hip-Hop Is Dead campaign, which rappers below the Mason-Dixon line took offense to, since they were runnin’ this rap shit. And Jeezy responded in king with words for Nas and questioned his street cred. Now, however, that’s in the past. The Def Jam stars recorded a track together for Jeezy’s upcoming album, The Recession. “[Nas] murdered it. Esco went in! Esco is a cool n—a, though. I can’t even front. He’s a thorough n—a. He went in on the record. I don’t know what you’re gonna think of it. … I can’t even begin to tell you what he said. I’m just telling you, Esco went in.” [MTV News]

Especially after what he did to all those people, including recently with the son of a bitch record phone conversation of young buck, while buck spoke from the heart, I Knew that bastard was untalented, he has destroyed this genre through and through and will go down in the record books (along with g-unit) as one of the worst in history

I’m kinda tired of hearin bout Fif bcuz his music sux, fa real fa real, but I aint mad @ him. He got the opportunity to get $, I say fuck it-get it strong. Hip hop wise, gtfoh, rhino piss, but young black man wise, I’m proud of him. And all my niggas in positions of power for that matter. But, Currrtisssss, hang up the mic, ur not JiggaMan, and get back to the streets and help those who need help. U got it juice, now give it back. Niggas buy ur music, support ur movement, feed ur son, now don’t just revel in ur wealth, show the world what real power is. Fuck yung joc, he deserves to get steam-rolld by that broad just like the rest of us no condom wearin ass niggas, and NaS>>>>>>>Jeezy!

I aint saying Jeezy can’t or should not collaborate with NAS but this comes off as a sucker move. I’m all for peace and being cool but. You gonna come out of left field (no provocation what’s so ever ) and diss the dude because he felt some kind of way about what NAS was using as a theme to promote his album. Then ask the cat to jump on your album. Judging from the recently leaked material I’m hearing from Jeezy I think this album is in trouble and he’s trying to make up for weak material with a few heavy weight features. Jeezy ACT’S like he does not care what people think about his lyrics, yet he mentions the “haters and critics” in every interview and song. I’m loosing hope on the Jezzy album hope he proves me wrong

On 50 Cent
Remember these numbers are only “loose” estimates and probably have very little resemblance to what he actually earned, when expenses, taxes and etc are taken into account. I’m only guessing but I’m sure the actual number is closed to 50 million than 150 million. (Which is still awesome)… This makes him look even worse for not forgiving Young Buck for the measly 200k he owed him. What a herb…

Jeezy is smart because he knows how dumb he sounded calling out Nas,saying Nas ain’t a street dude and he don’t be on the block with the dealers and G’s. Why would he ? a real g takes care of his fam and gets them outta situations like that.Others just get mixed up in whats keeping it real and put themselves in places where when things go down now there facing serious jail time and fines because there the star who wants to hang in the ghetto with those who are there because they have limited options not so they can say look at me This makes me hood. A real G would rather be in a business meeting talking about stackin more cheese instead of watching there back for the cops and haters.

Sounds to me like that A fella has Nas’s balls in his mouth. Relax dude. Nas doesn’t have you on his payroll to say dumb shit. There’s no such union for jobs like that. I’m sure of it. Now because Jeezy went and did something respectful he’s a cock sucker and all that mess. In all actually, if Jeezy would have still been on some “Fuck what Nas talkin bout” type shit, you’d still wine and complain. Nas would probably condemn the ignorance you spew. It’s all apart of getting grown. So either you’re a young dumb ass, or you missed that whole gettin grown thing. anyhow, Peace homie

It’s funny how 50 Cent has been earning the “same” hundreds of millions of dollars for consecutive years in a row from the vitamin water deal. How long are they gonna keep postimg thses “false” estimated numbers for all these rappers…ain’t no way…none of these cats worth more than $20-40 mill…period!

That bullshit video game? Negro Please. Im with dude that said he keeps makin the same amount of money each year? Off what and really, he needs to just go away now. His 15 min of fame Is over.

@ THAT NIGGA:
“According to Forbes, 50 Cent earned $150 million over the past 12 months with deals including his Vitamin Water Formula 50 stake being sold to Coca-Cola for $100 million last summer, as well as profits from his record label, films, video games and albums. Hoping to hold on to the number 1 position, the G-Unit Boss is currently prepping the launch of a mining partnership with South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe.”
-Not that I give a damn but I just had to prove your dumb ass wrong. Glaceua sold vitamin water to coke for 4.1 billion you dumb nigga!!! 50 cent took 10% of that which is 400mil…He then sold his Vitamin water formula 50 stakes to coke for an additional $100mil because he personally owned that. Then brought in the other 50mil from his label/video game etc…..
