50 Cent called into Shade 45 today during G-Unit Saturday and he was hitting all moving targets.
DJ Whoo Kid must have known what was coming because he dipped out the back of the building right before 50 called in.
But Nelson and Young Jack Thriller got jabbed lightly, as 50 told Nelson he needs to lay off the mayonnaise sandwiches, and talked about Jack doing cocaine out of his glass eye.
The only person the G-Unit General didn't mess with was Mimi. Fif keeps it cool with the ladies despite what you might have heard about a twitter incident with Ciara yesterday.
50 has so many projects he's working on, it almost seems like he never sleeps. His new Sleek By 50 headphones, his acting career, the new eye wear by Gunnar to name a few. But he did acknowledge he has a strong team around him that helps to keep things running smoothly.
The Nicki Minaj vs Lil Kim beef has some people picking sides. Fif weighed in on the situation.
"There's only two girls ... it's just about creating a sound from Kim's perspective," 50 said. "When I look at them actually competing I think it's harmless. They add interesting stories because Kim is the original and Nicki is right now."
He also confirmed his new album is almost done, although he wouldn't reveal the name of it just yet.
Much has been made of 50's dramatic weight loss for his role in the movie 'Things Fall Apart', which has helped generate a lot of interest in the project. The Cheetah Vision Films boss revealed the public will get a chance to see it soon.
"Things Fall Apart will actually premier March 5 in the Miami Film Festival," 50 said.
Peep the rest of this great interview below. 50 talks about putting his beef with Cam'ron to bed, his expectations for G-Note Records 1st artist Governor and Hot Rod and chopping it up with Hugh Hefner.

Is Nicki Minaj's larger than life ass real, or has it been surgically enhanced?
That's a question many fans want the answer to, but will probably never get. One thing is for sure, her boss, Lil Wayne doesn't know, or at least he says he doesn't.
HollywoodTV caught up with Weezy as he was leaving Philippe's restaurant in L.A. When asked if the "Moment For Life" rapper's butt was real Wayne laughed and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "I don't know."
When asked again, Wayne said, "I don't know... it's real nice I know that."

Detroit police have released incredible footage of a gun battle that took place inside a precinct Sunday (January 23), between Lamar Moore and police.
The gun battle started when the 38-year old Moore, armed with a 20-gauge shotgun walked into the Northwestern District station and started dumping shots at cops for no apparent reason.
Police officers return fire, fatally wounding Moore, but not before he managed to shoot four of them.
In the video below which is shown from two different angles, you will see Moore calmly walk in before the shooting starts. At one point during the gun battle he jumps over the police desk as he and Cmdr. Brian Davis shoot at each other at point blank range.

If you've ever seen a Tracy Morgan stand-up routine, or even a tv appearance on a late night talk show, you know almost anything is liable to come out of his mouth.
Last night on TNT's live pre-game Inside the NBA show, Tracy was asked by analysts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley to pick between former Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin and comedian/actress Tina Fey.
"Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin... She's good masturbation material," Tracy said. "With the glasses and all of that... great masturbation material."
While Chuck and Kenny laughed hysterically, their co-host Ernie Johnson quickly tried to end the conversation by saying, "wanna thank Tracy Morgan for stopping by."
TNT released a statement today regarding the incident which read:
“It's unfortunate Mr. Morgan showed a lack of judgment on our air with his inappropriate comments. We apologize for any embarrassment or offense it may have caused.”

With Nicki Minaj opening the door for us to wanna hear some more new female artists I can truly say we got a great new crop to choose from. We need to stop being so over critical with judging and support these young sisters trying to make it with their dream. I salute them and embrace the movement and wanna take time to mention the ones that have reached my radar and possible Def Jam material…shit someone gotta compete with Nikki..I hear 50 Cent got something special under wraps too but these are the ones I know of.
Nitty Scott MC
My boy D Prosper put me on to her, then I went online to check her out and seen her at a station rapping with Sky Zoo who I respect as an MC. I hit him up and he gave her a great co sign. She got it,young and pretty with a real hip-hop fee. I can see a promising future for her. Check her out…
Somaya Reece
Some know her as a sexy Latin model, some know her from Joe Budden and the world will get to know her from Vh1′s “Love & Hip Hop” reality show coming this spring. Her story is interesting. As pretty as she is, you would expect her to be stuck up but she cool and down to earth. I would consider her the female version of Pitbull. Spanish flow with the club tracks. Definitely a lane for her.
Rapsody
Now I wanna sign this girl. I had her at my Def Jam Cipher sessions and she tore it down, got that young Lauryn Hill energy and just a magnetic personality. I’m into energy and she gives off great vibes. Download her new mixtape it speaks the truth and with 9th Wonder on the tracks it’s hip-hop at it’s best.
Mae Day
Coming from Detroit, in 2009 she dropped a mixtape where she fused her lyrics with classic Sade production and named iy Cherish the Day: The Mae/Sade Experience. My peeps Sick Notes from The D did some production on her. A real spitter
Jackie O
Miami has breed some serious rap artist from Trick Daddy to Pitbull. She’s been in the cut for a minute, I feel she has what it takes to compete. Image is everything and she has a great look. She just needs to hook up with the right team and producer like Lex Luger.
Nina B
Brooklyn stand up for a BK native. Lenny S had her on his screen in his office so I took a look and she got some flavor.We need some more NY M.C’s to come hard to the plate. Let’s be on the look out for her.
Brianna
Now Miami is back on this list. She down with Flo Rida and my boy E. Class. Lenny S put me on to this as well. Got a great commercial appeal and strong stage presence. check her out.

Most "caught on camera" crimes are usually shot by people not actually involved in the crime themselves. In Richmond, Virginia however, there are several goons who actually videotaped themselves assaulting 2 people, then uploaded the video to youtube.
This all went down last Friday (January 21). In the video several goons are seen jumping a man, then beating him down. When a second man tries to intervene, he gets beat up as well. A wallet was also stolen.
"It's not something we think people should be doing... attack people on the street or videotaping the attack," said Gene Lepley of the Richmond Police Department.
The victims were said to have been treated at a local hospital, then released. The police are still searching for the suspects.

After watching this and laughing my ass off a couple of times, I was thinking of how I would react if somebody pulled this prank on me.
Basically these dudes go around pranking unsupecting store clerks or what have you, by randomly locking their face up as ugly as possible. The girl in the video isn't quite sure what to think. She looks like she's embarrassed.
What would you do if this happened to you?
Over the years Sean "Puffy" Combs has seen his share of beefs and crazy situations.
There was the time he popped Steve Stoute over the head with a champagne bottle for leaving a scene with Nas being crucified in their 1999 video "Hate Me Now" Then there was the 2005 Hot 97 shouting match with The Lox, where Jadakiss and Styles P were calling Puffy every name in the book, demanding their publishing. Of course last June's bizarre interview with Martin Bashir has to be mentioned, if only for the fact of how confused Diddy looked the entire interview while Bashir "mindf*cked" him.
All of that pales in comparison to the lawsuit that was just filed against the Bad Boy CEO that accuses him of rape, being a deadbeat dad and bringing down the World Trade Center.
Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks, who is obviously off her recommended dose of meds filed the lawsuit seeking $1.9 billion dollars from Combs reports Radar Online.
The lawsuit also names Diddy's girlfriend, Kim Porter and L.A. police beating victim Rodney King.
"[Diddy] went through Kim Porter and Rodney King and knocked down the WTC and then they all came and knocked my children down. Set me up to be on disability and disabled my baby. he put my baby in a wheelchair." Turks alleges in the suit.
She claims Diddy fathered her 23-year old son, Cornelius Wilson.
"He date raped me 24 years ago and knocked me down him and Kim Porter and Wallace Wright, then Sean Combs and Kim and Wallace Wright came back 18 years later and raped and sexually abused my children and knocked my children down and crushed me and my children daily.
Plus I won a lot of money at the casino in Mississippi and Sean P. Diddy Combs has my chip to my money. I heard he gave it to Gwen Allen to hold but she can not cash it in. I want my chip please help me. it's well worth over 100 zillions of dollars, and my hospital keys. They put me and my baby in the hospital and broke my baby 2 legs and sexual assaulted my children and crushed us." Turks wrote.

She wants $900 billion dollars in child support, and $100 billion dollars for “loss of income.”
This isn't the 1st time a crazy woman has bothered Combs. Last year a Florida woman, Cemilia Green was arrested after trying to break into his Hamptons crib. When caught by police Green said she was Diddy's wife.

Looks like Diddy might want to up his security detail.
In a fairly short amount of time Toronto native Drake has become a very respected rapper/singer, but is the world ready for Drizzy the Reggae artist?
The Young Money rapper might be dropping some tunes over Jamaican influenced sounds very soon.
In an interview with MuchMusic Drake revealed his plans.
"I wanna do something for Jamaica, because we are supposed to go out there and record after the European tour. I was like send me some rhythms that are poppin and I'll see what I can do. He sent me some rhythms that are poppin, so I'll see what I can do. You never know." he said.
Drake is currently touring Europe with Roc Nation artist J. Cole. He was intially scheduled to tour the UK last summer but cancelled due to his mother falling ill. Once the tour wraps he'll head to Jamaica to record.
In addition to a possible Reggae cd, Drizzy is working on a follow up to his platinum debut disc 'Thank Me Later.'
Do you think Drake can pull off a successful reggae disc?
