Al Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center was nearly empty for Ross' concert Saturday
Rick Ross was the headliner at Florida A&M's Homecoming concert last night at the Al Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center in Tallahassee, Florida. Only problem was, hardly anyone showed up.
A fan Tweeted 50 Cent a picture of the thin crowd and the G-Unit boss had some fun at Rozay's expense by clowning on him with his 8 millionTwitter followers.
"That's not his fault bad promotions,of the show or maybe ,is it over ? DAMN!!! Hold up I think I see puffy in the crowd," 50 joked.
The concert just happened to come on the same day the Florida GD's (Gangster Disciples) put out a new video telling Ross to pay up.

Andre Dirrell
In a new interview with Chris Robinson, Floyd said he began training Dirrell at the request of 50 Cent. He believes Dirrell has what it takes to be a world champion one day.
"I think I can get him to be world champion. I definitely believe that," Floyd Sr. said. "I think that he's got the qualities."
Floyd Sr. said he just needs to refine some of Dirrell's techniques.
"There's different things that I've got to enhance him on," Floyd Sr. explained. "His jab sometimes he doesn't throw it out long enough. The jab should be all the way out there. It seems like to me he's got a good right hand. I don't know about his hook, but the overall picture I think that he's a talented fighter. And I definitely think you're looking at the next world champion."
Floyd Sr. also revealed that 50 will be opening a new boxing gym in Las Vegas. It will be located near the Top Rank gym and should be up and running within the next couple of weeks.
During the interview Floyd Sr. talks about molding his son into a championship fighter starting from when he was an amateur. Check that out below.

Waka Flocka sits down with Nessa from Bay Area radio station 94.9 to chop it up about a variety of topics. The Brick Squad Monopoly boss gave a very interesting answer when asked who he wanted to work with. He said he didn't think he deserves features with top tier artists just yet.
"If the situation approach I'mma take advantage of it. I still feel like I don't deserve a Kanye [West] feature, Jay-Z feature [or] 50 [Cent] features," Waka said. "I've been rapping since '09, I gotta work. I probably would give it like next year. I don't even know how to count bars still. It's still new to me."
The Atlanta spitter also said he thinks Lebron James is a sellout for bailing on Cleveland and named his dream team. (Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Isiah Thomas and Kevin Garnett).

Both Jon and Sal were both hilariously horrible. In the end Whoo Kid and Lux gave the nod to Sal for being the least worst of the two.
Prior to the rap battle Whoo Kid gave a really funny interview about getting "n*gga slapped" by 50 Cent, hating his wife of 15-years, sleeping with 8,000 women, banging white chicks while on tour with Eminem, his two "Bruce Leroy" kids cursing his wife out, showering with both of his parents, being fired repeatedly by 50, his dad teaching him everything he knows and more.

50 Cent was a busy man last week in Dubai as he performed in front of a packed crowd of 16,000 at the Atelier/Festival on Friday October 19th. The event was held at the Meydan race course and included performances from Craig David, Ciara, Nelly and Skyblu of LMFAO.
Earlier in the week 50 attended GITEX (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition) 2012 conference at the Dubai World Trade Center where he introduced his SMS Audio headphone line.
The G-Unit boss took time out to attend a forum at American University of Dubai on October 18th where he spoke about business, life and conscious capitalism.
“It’ll take the new generation of entrepreneurs to make a difference," 50 told the audience, according to UniqueAuction. “Entrepreneurs come up with ideas before they have the finances to support it, and in the process get discouraged when they don’t get funding and end up working for some other entrepreneur. It’s not only the things in books that will determine if you’ll be successful. It takes more than being taught in a classroom to help you not to fall into a 9 to 5 regime of just getting by.”
50 also launched his SMS Audio headphones at the Virgin Megastore in Dubai's Mall of the Emirates on October 18th. Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd were there to lend their boss a hand.
A couple of people in the audience wore hilarious t-shirts referring to Gunplay's missing chain.
50 took to Twitter to thank the people of Dubai for showing him a good time.
Here's a very short clip of 50 Cent and Eminem's new video being shot. Neither 50 or Em appear in the footage, but we get a look at the vacant Michigan Central Train Depot in downtown Detroit where filming took place.
A helicopter can be seen flying overhead.
Curbed is reporting that Lloyd Banks will appear in the video as well.
"A few of us walked down to the depot around 1 AM and got a glimpse of the inside, looks like they had a large screen in the back of the station and we're using a chase car mounted camera inside," said a person who got a look at the shoot.
No release date has been given for the video. The rumored title is "My Life," but that hasn't been confirmed.
We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Kidd Kidd is next up to bat for the G-Unit 2.0 roster. Fellow Rida Gang member Precious Paris dropped her From Paris with Love mixtape back in February, now Kidd Kidd will follow that up with his own mixtape, Street Fameat the beginning of November.
Queen Bobbi caught with the New Orleans native recently at the 8th annual A3C (All 3 Coasts) Festival in Atlanta.
Check out her interview with him below via Mrsoldout.com.
Atlanta hosted its 8th annual A3C (All 3 Coasts) Festival Oct. 11-13. Fans and artists from around the country congregated to the Hip Hop Mecca to witness some of their favorite artists hit the stage and also network with some of the top shakers on the underground scene.
I had a chance to catch up with former Young Money, now G-Unit, rapper Kidd Kidd to talk about his upcoming mixtape Street Fame. The New Orleans bred MC, popular for the smash "Mrs Officer" with Lil Wayne, shared laughs about MySpace and broke down why his G-Unit partnership was fate.
Queen Bobbi: What brings you out to the a3c festival? Kidd Kidd: I love the festivities, ya know what I mean, and the women too, and Atlanta. My partners Slow & Bucks shout outs to them.
You said that you were here for the women, of course. You’re from New Orleans right? Of course man, downtown. 9th Ward, all day.
What’s the difference between New Orleans women and Atlanta Women? Work! Atlanta women they get it in. New Orleans females be looking for you to pay their bills. In Atlanta a woman will pay your bills.
If I were a man, I would want somebody to pay my bills too! But I’m sure there’s nothing like a New Orleans woman, you must admit? Oh no, they have beautiful women.
Are there any projects you’re out here promoting? Yeah, I’m promoting my new singles, I’m dropping one called "New Warleans" featuring Juvenile, and I got another one called "Bend It Over" for the strip club. One for the streets, and one for the club.
How did you hook up with G-Unit and 50 Cent? Fate. You know how people say; God has a plan for everybody. It really was fate because I was just grinding and it just so happen I got a call at 3 o clock in the morning and it was from 50. I don’t know how he got in touch with me, that’s why I say its fate. I never met him before, he was filming a movie in New Orleans, he liked my music and it was on from then.
When can we expect your album? Is it going to be your debut album on G- Unit? The debut album is going to be dropping from G-Unit, but right now focusing on these mixtapes. I have the Street Fame mixtape coming out in the beginning of November, be on the lookout for that.
You mentioned that you have Juvenile on a song, what other features can we expect on Street Fame? You can expect the G-Unit roster of course, I have my own team Rida Gang, expect them to be on the mixtape as well. I don’t want to do too many name drops unless it’s official because you can do songs with a people then when it’s time to put out the song, it’s something else. I got a couple of people in the works though that’s for sure. I got a joint on there with Jim Jones, that’s official so I can say that. Shout out to Jimmy.
You have a song with Jim Jones, did Chrissy ever pop up when you were in the studio? Na, I never met Chrissy but she’s a G from what I see. [Laughs] Shout out to Chrissy.
Do you have any social media platforms, Twitter, Facebook where the fans can reach you? Got to have that. Holla at me on Twitter @ItsKiddKidd.
Any Facebook? I don’t be on Facebook anymore. Twitter and Instagram took over.
Do you have a Myspace, Kidd Kidd? I had a MySpace, I haven’t logged into MySpace in so long, I don’t even remember my password to get on there if I was to try to get back on MySpace, [Laughs]
I think you have Queen Bobbi on your top 8; you just don’t want to tell anybody. I think so too. [Laughs]
As many of you may know, 50 Cent has been giving back to the community with his philanthropic endeavors set up through Street King energy shots and SMS Audio.
50 has aligned SMS Audio with Feeding America to donate 250 meals in the U.S. for each domestic purchase of a headphone at SMSAudio.com.
The G-Unit boss has also teamed up with the World Food Programme to provide a meal for a person in need in famine devastated parts of Africa. A single purchase of Street King energy shots provides a meal.
In a new PSA released by Feeding America we get introduced to a gentleman by the name of Scott. Scott tells the story of being an every day middle class working American who found himself in need of help after he lost his job. With a family of four to feed he turned to the food bank to get the help he needed.
"Today one in six Americans don't know where their next meal is coming from," 50 says. "Scott here could be your neighbor, your co-worker, your friend. He's just like you and you probably don't even know he's struggling. But you can make a difference in Scott's life today. So visit www.FeedingAmerica.org/hunger and find a local food bank to help."
The incredible rap duo of 50 Cent and Eminem are getting ready to deliver the goods again. 50 took to Twitter today to announce that he and Slim are shooting a big video for his upcoming Street King Immortal album.
Shortly after 50's Tweet, super producer Just BlazeTweeted that if it's the song that he thinks it is, it's a banger.
During a recent interview in Paris, France, 50 mentioned that he had played some songs from Street King Immortal for Interscope executives and they really liked what they heard.
"When I played the record it made it clear to [Interscope] that the highest probability they have of selling records is with me, because it was right," said the G-Unit boss.
He specifically mentioned a song titled "My Life."
"My Life and a few other joints I played. And they really were excited about them," explained 50 of Interscope's reaction to the new material. "My Life is a song that was originally recorded for Detox."
Could "My Life" possibly be the single he and Eminem are shooting a video for? We'll know soon enough.
During that same interview the "I Get Money" hit maker provided some insight into the concept of Street King Immortal.
"There's points on it where I'm more vulnerable than I was on my other projects," 50 said. "It's worked in the past with Hate It or Love It. That type of lyrical content. I wrote the record that I felt like was more me."
What's you favorite 50 Cent and Eminem collaboration to date? Do you expect this new song to top it?
Gucci Mane fires back at Young Jeezy for his interview with Big Boy's Neighborhood where he called Gucci "retarded." This beef seemed to have died down, but it's definitely all the way back on.
Gucci will be dropping his Trap God mixtape on October 17th.
Ricky Rozay is not happy at all about what happened at the BET Hip Hop Awards. He's changed his name to "Tactical Force Rozay" and vows to bring in every correctional facility officer, the National Rife Association, sharpshooters and lieutenants to help track down 50 Cent and Young Jeezy.
His homie Gunplay is still knocked out from his award show scrap, but "Tactical Force Rozay" knows exactly what will wake him up.
He also wants 50 Cent to leave French Montana alone.
50 Cent was recently in Paris, France promoting his SMS Audio headphone line. While there he took time out sit down for an interview to speak on his Street King Immortal album, a song titled "My Life" that impressed Interscope, features on the project and the concept of the album.
"There's points on it where I'm more vulnerable than I was on my other projects," 50 said. "It's worked in the past with 'Hate It or Love It.' That type of lyrical content. I wrote the record that I felt like was more me."
The "I Get Money" hit maker explained that although the album is finished there is a possibility he may add a song or two as he continues to write new material.
"What is the album today may change. A song or two may change between now and the actual release. Because I always do that. I'll keep working and I'll come up with something like right before it's wrapped up and say I wanna put this."
50 confirmed that the album has been pushed back, but did not reveal a new release date. He also said there is a possibility that Dr. Dre will release Detox as an EP instead of a full album and that he's looking to add new artists to the G-Unit roster.
"The roster is definitely... I'll change things around a little bit. It'll be cool because we'll be able to go out on the road and tour. It'll be artist boot camp preparing them for what they will have to do when they go off on a tour following that."
Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow, or as Chelsea Handler calls them, “Emcee Gwyneth Paltrow” and “DJ Jazzy Cameron Diaz,” helped celebrate the talk show hosts move into a new studio by making a short video showing off their rapping and beat boxing skills.

Robert Greene, best selling and internationally acclaimed author of The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War and co-author of 50 Cent'sThe 50th Law has just released a new book titled Mastery.
What did Charles Darwin, middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to become one of the earliest and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force’s last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene’s fifth book, he mines the biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Picking up where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world’s masters.
Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller—all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads. Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement and supremacy. Fans of Greene’s earlier work and Malcolm Gladwell’sOutliers will eagerly devour this canny and erudite explanation of just what it takes to be great.
