WGCI's UB Rodriguez interviewed 50 Cent yesterday. Topics included 50's new fitness book Formula 50, SMS Promotions, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Chief Keef.
UB Rodriguez: Let's talk about you and Floyd Mayweather. I know that's your boy. Now you have this boxing promoting company. Was he the influence behind this?
50 Cent: Yeah, initially it was a venture we were going to do together. Floyd changed his mind and wanted to do some different things. Before he decided that he wanted to do things differently I had already obtained my promotions license in New York, Connecticut, Miami, Atlantic City and now Nevada. So I had went pretty far into the actual category before he decided he wanted to do something different.
UB: Hey Fifty what about the rumors of this promoter trying to pay you and Mayweather to get in the ring?
50: I heard about that too. I'll take it in a heartbeat. I'll make the weight. For $5 million dollars I will impress you. He'd be like 'hold up I didn't even know you had that in you Fif.'
UB: I don't see it happening 50.
50: You know Floyd ain't gonna do that. He won't even fight Manny [Pacquiao].
UB: So we've seen you go back and forth with Chief Keef on Twitter. I want to ask you personally. How do you feel about him?
50: In the beginning I took a huge liking to Chief Keef. I think he's a representation of what hip hop was when I fell in love with it. Someone out of the environment just offering what means something to him. Like when he's saying things he don't like. Everybody in Chicago in that neighborhood or those different areas would agree with those thing he said he don't like because they don't like them either. That's why the song connected. I started to talk to him because I wanted to help him because I saw things starting to spiral out of control and he could lose an opportunity that's priceless.
UB: Like what did you see and what do you think about his future?
50: I don't think he'll have the same success in sales, but it will be something that develops a cult like following. Because he decided to not show up to his actual video. And when he does that in the stages where you haven't sold any records yet. It's bad influences. It's people around him that aren't influencing him to do the right thing. It's really not him.
UB: So what exactly do you tell Chief Keef when you call him or sit down and talk to him 50?
50: I just tell him to make the adjustments. I tried to reach out to him. He's a little upset because I said something on Twitter. I said he didn't show up to his video, he don't know these people will pull the plug on him and they will. I don't want to make him upset or nothing because he's a baby. My son does the same thing to me.

One of the most exciting players to ever hit the court in the NBA is about to lose one of his most prized possessions. Former all-star guard Allen Iverson's $4.5 million Atlanta mansion and all of its belongings will be hitting the auction block on December 4th unless A.I. can somehow come up with the cash to save it according to TMZ.
Iverson purchased the home in 2010, but defaulted on his mortgage and the bank foreclosed
The future Hall of Famer is finding things difficult at the moment. In addition to going through a divorce, Iverson has been ordered to pay $859,896.46 to Aydin & Company Jewelers. In January a judge signed off on an order which allows the store to recoup their loss directly from Iverson's Wells Fargo bank account.
**UPDATE** December 9th
A.I. is attempting to stop his mansion from being foreclosed on. It was set to be auctioned off on December 4th, but Iverson filed legal documents to put the sale on hold according to TMZ.
Iverson is going through a difficult divorce with his estranged wife and claims she signed off on the mortgage and consented to terms she knew he couldn't meet in an attempt to screw him over.
A.I.'s lawsuit has temporarily put a stop to the foreclosure proceedings, giving him extra time to try and gather up enough money to prevent the home from being sold.
Check out photos of Iverson's Atlanta crib below.

As we previously reported, Ryan Leslie was ordered to pay a $1 million reward to a man who returned his laptop that was stolen in Germany in 2010. Ryan had offered the reward hoping to get back songs he had been working on for his Les Is More album as well as collaborations he had been working on for Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne album.
When the laptop was returned Ryan says all the music he had been working was lost because he couldn't access the hard drive.
Last night the singer/producer/rapper got emotional while talking about the incident to the crowd at the Long Island University homecoming concert. Check out what he had to say below.
"As you may or may not know - in 2010, somebody stole all my music from me out the back of a black Mercedes-Benz when I was in Cologne, Germany. Initially I put a reward of $20,000 if they'd just give my backpack back - and when it never returned, I upped the reward to $1MM because that music was absolutely everything to me, it was everything, it was my life, it was everything, I upped it to $1MM.
Eventually, somebody did actually return my backpack to me - and when I plugged in that hard drive to access everything that I had lost, the music just wasn't there. The hard drive wouldn't mount. I couldn't access anything - and a year later, that same gentleman (I don't know if it's because he misunderstood what the million dollars was for) ... he filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in New York City, demanding that I pay $1MM for music that I never got back.
And yesterday (and the reason why I'm on the front page of the news today) everyone thought I was just a cheapskate or something like that - a jury of my peers, 8 people, they looked me in my face and told me I had to pay this man $1MM for music I never got back.
And so I woke up today to get me some orange juice, man, and the lady who works at the deli was like 'aw man - you're the guy on the front page of the paper today!' and I looked at the headline. It said 'Rap Weasel...'
Yo - hahahaa, that's like my twin brother - somebody said 'Swizzy!'
So listen, man - music always comes from a place of inspiration and I gotta tell ya'll - never have I been more inspired than when I lost everything then to try to make the most incredible album I could possibly make and for the last two years I invested every single penny, every dollar I had, to make the most incredible artistic offering I possibly could and on October 22nd it came out. It's my album. It's called 'Les Is More.'
And despite what the jury said, that million dollar reward is still out there for anybody who can return all my compositions to me. That's why I never took the video off of YouTube. I never got anything back, but luckily God blessed me with talent and I could make some of the music over again, you know what I'm saying?
So I appreciate each and everyone of y'all for your support tonight and for the future 'cause we gonna keep making this music and we gonna try to work something out with my man over in Germany - maybe he misunderstood - but this is a record off that album."

At the beginning of 50 Cent's new single "My Life" he sends a couple of jabs at The Game and Young Buck.
"I tried to help niggas get on, they turned around and spit/Right in my face, so Game and Buck, both can suck a d*ck. Now when you hear 'em it may sound like it's some other sh*t/Cause I'm not writing anymore, they not making hits," 50 raps.
In a recent sit down with Big Boy's Neighborhood, the G-Unit mogul explains why he threw shots in their direction.
"Things that are notable they begin that record that was recorded two years ago," 50 said. "These things are monumental moments within the culture. Of course it was Game first that decided to go left. He had help. You know me and Jimmy Henchman never got along. He was managing him at the time so it helped him go left. In Game's case there's absolutely no malice on my heart towards him. I'd like to see him do whatever he can do. And Buck, I think that's over. His career is finished. It's because [of] his temperament. Right now he's in jail, but knowing who he is from the entire time that he's been around I don't think he has what it takes to recover."
Although he wishes The Game no ill will, 50 doubts they could ever work together again.
As with most of his guests Big Boy got Fif to play "The Raft" game. He was asked who he would save if he were in a raft and could only pick one person, The Game or Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"I'd pull Floyd up still," 50 said without hesitation. "Big he's still my brother, he just went crazy. I don't even know how to explain it sometimes. He does things [and] for me he wouldn't get away with it if the relationship wasn't the way it was. He flip flops and you don't see it until it's your turn. And you're like 'What? Boy you must be a punch away from retarded.' It's one of those things where you get in a place like 'nah is you serious b?'"
Floyd may anger 50 sometimes, but he says if anyone tried to harm him he would have his back.
The "I Get Money" rapper also speaks on how he picks his singles and explains how he and Alicia Keys both ended up with the song "New Day."

Chris Brown and Rihanna appear to be a couple again if recent photos are any indication. This news really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has been keeping up with the two in recent months. The only surprise is that haven't publicly admitted that they have rekindled the romance that came to a screeching halt in 2009 after Brown assaulted Riri.
In the latest public display of affection Rihanna tweeted a pic of her straddling Brown last night in Frankfurt, Germany after his concert there.
The two also celebrated Thanksgiving in Berlin together. Rihanna later tweeted a shirtless photo of Brown in bed, followed by her own topless photo.
“As far as our personal life, I think people just got to give it a chance — or not even give it a chance, but shut the hell up. It’s me. At the end of the day, whatever opinion they have ain’t going to change nothing I’m doing," Brown told Big Boy's Neighborhood earlier this month.
“To the world, I feel like there’s no closure,” Rihanna told Vogue recently. “There’s some obsession that’s continued even throughout when we weren’t friends or couldn’t be friends at all. Hated each other. The world hasn’t let go. They haven’t seen any progress in our friendship, because they don’t see anything, really, besides the song.”

Nicki Minaj isn't having her best week. First Steven Tyler criticized her skills as a judge on American Idol, which caused a big uproar. Then the sales figures for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up came in at less than 35,000 for the first week.
Then yesterday, Hot 97 program director Ebro said Peter Rosenberg ended her career when he criticized her earlier this year for going pop with records like "Starships."
Ebro says he got a call from the Young Money star yesterday regarding his comments. Among other things she called him a fake cornball and told him to never play her music again.
Should Nicki be trying to patch things up with with program directors instead of chewing them out?
