50 Cent asserts Jay-Z made an attempt to keep him out of the Super Bowl halftime show and made fun of Beyoncé
In a cover interview that The Hollywood Reporter published on Wednesday, 50 Cent said that Jay-Z attempted to bar him from the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. He also made fun of Beyoncé and her numerous Grammy Awards.
In an extensive interview, the 49-year-old rapper was questioned about why he was left off of the lineup when the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show artists were first announced.
They desired for me to be excluded. Regarding the star-studded event, which included performances by hip-hop icons Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-Z, he remarked, “They didn’t want me there.”
“Roc Nation.” Yes, they didn’t want me there, 50 Cent remarked, alluded to the entertainment company owned by Jay-Z.
Emiratis couldn’t succeed without me. I ended up on the show because if I hadn’t done it, he wouldn’t have come. You think to yourself, “Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50?” when that occurs. Oh no. Fine.
Then bring fifty. But they wouldn’t have me there if they had their say. The surprise is me. Not at all on the bill is me. But without me, they were unable to get Em to do it, he continued.
Also questioned about his opinions on the Grammy Awards was 50 Cent.
“I have no interest in them.” They are meaningless. Being in the same room as your colleagues is exciting and serves as a recognition of the project’s accomplishment. And what’s the acknowledgement other than that? It has no significance.
Not even one person in dire straits who would sell their Grammys has come to my attention. Then, the fact that you were given this honor would have significance. It is worthless,’ he declared.
The 2010 Grammy winner for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group, Eminem and Dr. Dre, took a jab at Beyoncé and said that he did not cast a ballot for the Grammys.
“Who’s voting in that s***? I have no idea.” It’s absurd. According to him, Beyoncé has thirty of them, so whoever they are, they’re off at her place.
Actually, Beyoncé holds a record 32 Grammy awards.
In the story, 50 Cent, who startled everyone by bringing $3.5 million of his own money to his THR cover picture shoot in cash, also discussed his dispute with “liar” Sean “Diddy” Combs.
When he withdrew mountains of cash for the THR cover, the In Da Club hitmaker—who has been publicly trolling Diddy, 54, since a number of sexual assault cases have been filed against him—said he was inspired by Muhammad Ali’s famous 1964 Sports Illustrated cover.
In the SI photo, boxer Ali, who was 22 at the time, posed with his $1 million prize. In 50’s version of the picture, he is seen sitting on a pile of cash with bags of cash all around him.
In the interview, 50—real name Curtis James Jackson—spoke about his ongoing harassment of Diddy and his numerous, escalating lawsuits, which have resulted in Homeland Security raids on Combs’ houses in Miami and Los Angeles as part of an investigation into sex trafficking.
The horrifying 2016 video of Diddy punching his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that surfaced this year, according to 50, who produced a docuseries about the musician, demonstrated that “everything [he says] is a lie.”
He declared: ‘I’ve been quite open about not attending Puffy parties and engaging in such behavior. I’ve spent years avoiding that kind of stuff. There’s just something uneasy about the energy surrounding it.
Speaking about his response to the footage of Diddy abusing Cassie at a hotel, he stated:
Initially, he refuted the existence of the incident, but after the recording surfaced, it became clear that everything n—a said was false.
“That s**t is crazy,” someone said after watching it if they have a daughter and can picture her in such situation. He was able to get away with it, almost. The person you’re with should want to be a part of your life, not be forced to, especially with all the power and influence you possess.
“The weirdest s**t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” he said, referring to Diddy’s previous request that he “take me shopping.”
With that, he continued, he ‘wasn’t comfortable with him.’
When 50 first got to know Diddy, the unsigned artist, he declared he wouldn’t consider the two buddies. He further declared that Diddy “took advantage” of people by stealing producing credits from them and that he never wanted to talk to him, “party, or hang out.”
“Some of them were involved, at the parties and enjoyed themselves, so they don’t know what the f**k is on tape or what’s not on tape, so they’re not going to say anything because they might have had too much fun,” the singer claims, explaining why many remained silent about Diddy’s alleged behavior.
According to him, people can view speaking up as “dry snitching” or “snitching.”
Speaking of his close friend Mary J. Blige, 50, who is friends with Diddy, he said that the singer had not contacted him to advise him “not to f**k up Puffy” and that “she knows that he does s**t.”
Blige’s agents have been approached by DailyMail.com for comment.
In a sex trafficking case against Diddy earlier this year, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claimed that 50 Cent’s former girlfriend Daphne Joy was a prostitute who had been paid by the founder of Bad Boy Records.
She has called the lawsuit’s allegation that she was a sex worker “character assassination” and rejected it.
Joy then made a harsh accusation on Instagram against 50 Cent, saying he had raped her. She added that he had not been present for their son.
In a statement provided by DailyMail.com, 50 Cent refuted her claims and filed a defamation lawsuit against her.
In response to questions regarding the lawsuit, 50 said he was unable to comment much because of a family court issue that was still pending. He called Joy’s claims “crazy s**t” and stated that things had “worked out” since the post.
On Father’s Day, he said he had the pair’s eleven-year-old son Sire.
After the revelation of a horrific video showing the rapper brutally attacking Cassie, 50 Cent made fun of Diddy earlier this month.
In the footage, which CNN was able to get, Diddy—real name Sean Combs—is seen following Cassie down the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City while wearing no shirt and with a towel wrapped around his waist.
He grabbed her by the back of her head and threw her to the ground as she attempted to enter an elevator. After kicking her while she was immobile on the ground, he grabbed the two luxury bags she had attempted to flee with.
Diddy booted her once more while standing over her and hauled her back to their room by the hoodie. In a lawsuit that was later settled, Cassie stated that Diddy had given the same hotel $50,000 for the video that had been taken after the incident.
Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor made the following statement to DailyMail.com today: “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs.”
“There are no words to describe the bravery and tenacity that Ms.
Ventura has demonstrated by speaking up and bringing this to light.
The two showed up hand in hand on the red carpet for The Perfect Match’s premiere, only two days after the 2016 attack.
Combs was sued by Cassie last year on charges of rape and several other misdeeds. In November, they reached a settlement out-of-court for an undisclosed sum.
‘I have opted to address this problem peacefully on conditions that I have some level of control,’ Cassie stated in a statement at the time.
I express my gratitude to my family, fans, and attorneys for their steadfast support.
Diddy’s attorney claimed in a statement at the time that his client’s settlement did not constitute an admission of guilt.
Several claimants have filed lawsuits against him, claiming he has engaged in sexual misconduct and abuse.
Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs, the sons of Combs, were handcuffed at their father’s Los Angeles home during the raid.
A music producer sued Combs in February, claiming the artist forced him to approach prostitutes and forced him to have sex with them.
A woman who claims the rap producer sexually assaulted her when she was 17 years old two decades ago was one of Combs’ other accusers.
Combs and his lawyers have refuted every accusation made in the cases.
The rapper is one of the most important executives and producers in hip-hop from the last thirty years.
Previously recognized as Puff Daddy, he established one of the largest empires in hip-hop, paving the way with multiple companies using his renowned moniker.
Initiator of Bad Boy Records, he has won three Grammy awards and collaborated with numerous high-profile singers including as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and 112.
Following a raid on Combs’ estates, 50 Cent made fun of the Making The Band veteran in March.
On Instagram, the rapper posted a poster for a fictitious Diddy documentary series.
The ‘Diddy Do It?’ billboard for the’series’ featured frayed pictures of the rapper lying next to several case files.
When this song drops, it will shatter records. The post was titled “GLG,” by 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III. “@lecheminduroi @bransoncognac you know the vibes,” said GreenLightGang.
A documentary by 50 Cent regarding the claims of sexual misconduct against Diddy is now under production.
When he first revealed the project in December, he said he intended to donate the documentary’s earnings to victims of sexual assault.
