50 Cent To Appear On Next Detox Single

Rap Daily: After announcing his difficulties with Interscope Records and its CEO Jimmy Iovine last week, superstar 50 Cent has been making the rounds as the topic of numerous headlines and stories.

The rapper recently dropped a new song “Outlaw,” and announced that his new album and headphones will be released this November.

50, who was said to be hard at work on his fifth studio album, said the following on Twitter last week: "I'm sorry to announce I will not be releasing a new album this year if we don't get on the same page.”

“We” meaning 50 and Interscope Records.

Later that day, he tweeted: "Ok f*ck it I'm putting the first song off my new album out tonight.” A few hours later, the song “Outlaw” was released to the world for free, to mostly positive acclaim.

Not long after, 50 and the label ended up meeting to "get on the same page."

On Friday, 50 spoke to MTV News and said "What happens is, there are a lot of people involved in my actual launch, because its three parties; it's Shady, then you got Aftermath, then you got Interscope, and then you got me on my end. So by the time we got to go sit down with Jimmy, we talked a little bit, and then I ended up having to go see Dre, because we had the little issue, the confusion about the Twitter stuff."

The recent meet-up with Dr. Dre produced more than just some common ground for the two titans.

They managed to create, write, and record what is said to be the next single off of Dre’s long-awaited, perpetually in-the-making, album, Detox.

The song, titled “The Psycho” (no relation to Before I Self Destruct’s “Psycho” with Eminem), could be hitting the airwaves any day now, or maybe not, when it comes to Detox, nothing is ever certain.

The most recent announcement regarding 50 came from the man himself when he tweeted on Sunday that his headphones and new album would both be getting released this November.

I would rather not launch my album with out a plan the whole system is executing. I don’t know why they play with me they know how I get.”

50 Cent to Launch Cell Phone App


Rap Daily: Although his music may not sell quite as much as it used to, 50 Cent has devised a wide variety of ways to make money regardless. Now, the G-Unit general is preparing to break ground on a new cell phone venture.50 Cent has inked endorsement deals with a group that makes cell phone apps and a dietary supplement company.
50's long-time manager Chris Lighty recently spoke to Billboard about the Queens rapper's new deal with UberMedia to launch Uber50, a custom theme available to users of of UberMedia's Blackberry-based Twitter app UberSocial. Lighty explained that the deal actually came about at a time when UberMedia's future in the Twitter sphere looked most dubious.
"[The deal between 50 and UberMedia] was struck during the period that Uber got locked out of Twitter and got fined," Lighty said. "50 had to use a different app. He was one of them going crazy and one of the more vocal ones. Uber saw that and contacted us."
Lighty also indicated that 50 Cent plans to expand his brand futher into the health foods market. In addition to his lucrative deal with Vitamin Water, 50 plans to lauch a vitamin supplement company that cater to stores like GNC. 
"We're working on a new supplement company," he said. "We're going to build new supplements cause it's a big opportunity like Vitamin Water was. We want to market and promote it when we put out 50's album. There are different options of penetration for supplements through music; like going to GNC for protein shakes, vitamins, etc.. No beverage. When you go to a vitamin shop, there's no one of pop culture [representing], it's mostly muscle heads. We'll cut through the clutter with 50 in the store saying, 'You want to be 10% of me so take what I'm taking.'"

50 Cent Clarifies Headphone Deal With Sleek

Rap Daily: Representatives for the company that markets 50 Cent's Sleek line of headphones have come forward to clarify reports that the rapper had pulled the plug on his new line of headphones.


Sleek Audio issued a press release on Friday, announcing that 50 Cent had terminated an agreement between Sleek, G-Unit and TV Goods.

But shortly after the termination, 50 and his affiliate company SMS Audio entered into a new agreement to produce and distribute an infomercial promoting a new, over-the-ear product that 50 Cent is backing.

While 50 may have been his deal between Sleek and TVGoods on ice, the rapper is still working with the company to bring another new product to market.

According to reps for both companies, 50 Cent's termination of Sleek's contract with TVGoods will allow the new product 50 Cent is developing to reach the market faster.

Reps for TVGoods said that 50 Cent still owns 7.5 million shares of TVGoods, which he purchased for $750,000.

50 CENT LOSES MEGA BUSINESS DEAL SLEEK BY 50 IS NO MORE

 Rap Daily:G-Unit star 50 Cent has reportedly had his Sleek By 50 headphones venture scrapped as Sleek Audio is now announcing their disassociation from the rap star.
NO explanation for their dismantled deal has yet been given.
You may remember our brief run-in with 50 Cent back at CES, where he announced a partnership with Sleek Audio for Sleek by 50, a pair of "wireless hybrid" headphones with built-in Kleer technology. Today the company revealed that it has terminated its agreement with G-Unit Brands, 50's licensing company, and that it will be "re-evaluating our Wireless Hybrid over-the-ear headphones at a later date." There's no word on why the collboration went awry, and the company only indicates that it has decided to focus on its in-ear offerings instead. Of course, we've got way more than 21 questions about what made the relationship go sour, but hate it or love it, Sleek by 50 is no more.

Capone Asks 50 Cent To Stay Out Of Prodigy Beef

Rap Daily: Rapper Capone has asked 50 Cent to steer clear of his growing beef with Mobb Deep, who are still close associates of the G-Unit frontman.

Capone has been lashing out at Prodigy on the Internet, over allegations made in P's new book, "My Infamous Life: The Story of Mobb Deep's Prodigy."

In the book, Prodigy accuses Capone of veteran rap group Capone-N-Noreaga, of going to court and testifying against Havoc's brother, Killer Black.

Prodigy's comments and his refusal to back down from the allegations, have sent Capone on a mission to clear his name.

"50, I am asking you stay of this please, my ni**a. I got love for you, you're from Queens, you're a Queens ni**a like me, but just this is not a situation which - at the end of the day, it's hammer time."

The beef seems to be growing as well, in intensity. Former associate and Bars-N-Hooks member Mike Delorean also chastised Prodigy for calling out Capone in his tell-all book.

Mike was also mad that Prodigy talked about him in a few chapters in the book, which included comments about his mother, and accusations that Bars-N-Hooks robbed Havoc.

"P you was a wankster, you talking about things you don't even know. you wildin' talking about ni**as mothers. You talkin' about ma dukes and she's resting in peace. Man, the goons are on your head," Mike Delorean said.

Capone offered an explanation as to why he ended up on the stand, testifying against Killer Black.

"I got caught in a situation, and I gave a false statement [to police]. I lied. Come to find out, the motherfu**ing statement came back, they tried to use me as a witness. But I lied. I wasn't Killer's co-defendant, I wasn't there when the crime happened, I aint speak to him after. But I didn't put nothing in there to incriminate nobody. The n***a you say I snitched on was running in the streets with me. Get your facts right."

50 Cent Takes Credit For Shutting Down Worldstarhiphop.com

 Rapper 50 Cent sent a tweet out to his 3,888,543 million followers and took credit for shutting down popular urban website, WorldstarHipHop.com.

The site went down without warning earlier today (January 24th).

Just moments ago, 50 Cent took to Twitter and took credit for the site's disruption, squashing rumors that the site was seized by Homeland Security, like several other websites in November of 2010.

"I don't know why people underestimate me. I just shut down WORLDSTAR for future advertising contact thisis50.com suckers lol," 50 Cent tweeted. "I put worldstar to bed, you don't believe try me I will shut your sh*t down. Lol."

In November of 2009, 50 Cent filed a lawsuit against the website, claiming his image and content was used on the website without permission.

“I have lawyers on retainers and I have to pay them so much money anyway, so we’ll go back and forth to court until (they) can’t afford a Subway sandwich,” 50 Cent said in 2009. “It’s already too late for (them).”

Q, the owner of Worldstarhiphop.com appeared on Angie Martinez' Hot 97's moments ago and denied that 50 Cent was behind the website going down.

According to Q, the website is down due to technical difficulties, not because of lawsuit 50 Cent has pending. Nor has agents for the FBI or Homeland Security shut down the website.

"It's a technical difficulty, not Homeland Security," Q told Angie Martinez. "It's not a hacker, it's more less like some difficulties with the site itself as far as our server. We constantly have to upgrade. We've been down before, the most was 8 months. We got hacked last year, or other times we've had problems before. It should be up shortly. I see 50 cent put my # out there. But shout out to 50 Cent, it's great promo. We missed a message, but my technical team is on it. It should be back on shortly. I don't want to put a timeline on it, but it's should be back up in about 24 hours."

Q, who said he's been an associate of 50 Cent's close affiliate DJ Whoo Kid since 1999, has blamed the entire ordeal and lawsuit on a personal miscommunication between himself and 50 Cent.

According to 50 Cent,  more websites will shut down this week.

"I predict 2 more web sites will shut down this week. Take a guess who they are. I'm sick of the hate I'm to strong," 50 Cent tweeted.

50 Cent May Face SEC Investigation for Stock Tweets

50 Cent may see himself in front of the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) over some stock advice he gave out to his 3.8 million twitter followers.
As previously reported, the hip-hop mogul earned close to $8.7 million in his latest investment, H&H Imports, which owns TV Goods—the company that owns the marketing rights to the Queens rapper’s Sleek by 50 Cent headphones. Many believe the interest was generated by Fif’s tweets. ““You can double your money right now. Just get what you can afford” and “They are no joke get in now.”
According to the New York Post, 50′s involvement helped the HNHI stock jump from $0.10 per share at the market’s opening yesterday to $0.39 per share when it closed; the spike translated to an $8.7 million earning for Fif, who owns 30 million shares.
“There are very strict guidelines as to what a person can do in terms of possibly manipulating the value of a stock,” financial expert and 60-Minute Money Workout author Ellie Kay told FOX411. “I don’t think it would be a huge surprise to anyone if 50 Cent were investigated for what he did.”
“We can neither confirm nor deny” an investigation is taking place, a SEC rep told Fox News. 50 Cent has yet to comment on the situation, but his tweets in question have been removed. They have been replaced with this: “HNHI is the right investment for me it may or may not be right for u! Do ur homework,” as well as, “I own HNHI stock thoughts on it are my opinion. Talk to financial advisor about it.” —Elan Mancini

Rap stars Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre are reportedly set to debut a new super collaboration entitled "Syllables" heading into 2011

Big Mike says Eminem featuring Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Jay-Z's "Syllables" will be leaking soon! He tweeted the following message on his Twitter page. "eminem feat dr dre 50 cent and jay z-syllables(prod by dr dre) guess we gotta start the new year off rite huh?," Mike tweeted Tuesday (December 27). DJ Big Mike is allegedly responsible for leaking Eminem's Crack A Bottle track. Instead of 3-Headed Monster... can you imagine the 4-Headed Monster!? (Hip Hop Stan)
Earlier this year, 50 publicly taunted Jay and accused him of subliminal dissing practices.
"It's the competitive nature of the art form," Fif explained about his relationship with Jay. "It's still there, he still competes too. He just does it so subliminal that people don't read it. To me, it's a softer way to do it. A safer way to do it because no one directly feels offended by it...Why not just say it? I don't feel the [disses]. You gotta at least let the [diss be noticeable.] A guy that's that subtle, how do you really take offense to those activities? You know, I get really disrespectful, I don't mind. And then it's like, we can go to the other space and it can really go down." (Power 105.1)
The two rap stars later patched things up at Jay-Z and Eminem's New York City Yankee Stadium concert in September.
"We got a chance to kick it for a minute," 50 said referencing Jay. "I know people were interested in what that conversation was like. But they can ask Jay-Z. I take people's actions as if it's genuinely how they feel. I can only use what I saw you do as if that's what you meant. I can't understand what your motivation was prior to that." (MTV)
While Dr. Dre is currently working on his Detox album, Em's Recovery has remained on the sales chart since last summer.
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem's Recovery dropped three slots to No. 22 with 68,500. Headed into his 27th week, Slim Shady's latest release stands at 3,214,300 sold copies. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

50 Cent sued for alleged copyright infringement

Rap superstar 50 Cent has been sued for copy right infringement by a little-known rapper called Caliber.
The Atlanta rapper has sued 50 Cent for an unspecified amount, claiming that he has the exclusive rights to a instrumental track used by 50 Cent in his 2007 hit 'I Get Money'
Caliber has filed a lawsuit in New York Federal Court against the rapper, along with the producer of the hit song, 'I Get Money' and a host of music industry companies.
The 28-year-old states that he bought the exclusive license from producer William 'Apex' Stanberry, giving him sole ownership over the track and 50 Cent knowingly took the instrumental and used it in the song which appeared on his third album 'The Massacre'.
'I Get Money' was released in June 2007, peaking at number 4 on Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. The single, which was named as one of the best tracks of the year by Rolling Stone and Time, later spawned a high voltage remix featuring Diddy and Jay-Z.
