Don’t date no damn rappers,” she said, drawing laughter from the audience.Fox, 60, reflected on how her brief romance with the rapper — which began back in 2003 and lasted less than a year — still lingers in public memory.“Just so you know, it took me years to be able to laugh about it,” she admitted. “I had to learn to laugh not to cry no more. But I did it.” View this post on Instagram Her candid moment quickly went viral, reigniting curiosity about one of hip-hop’s most talked-about celebrity pairings of the early 2000s. Never one to miss a social-media moment, 50 Cent responded in trademark fashion.

They met at the 2003 BET Awards, where Fox presented him with the Best New Artist award — and the two became an instant tabloid sensation.Even years later, both have occasionally referenced their romance in interviews or social-media posts, keeping the story alive in pop culture.

Mike Epps kept it all the way direct during his November 8 stop at Big Boy’s Neighborhood, offering the most definitive update fans have heard about Last Friday. When Big Boy asked if Ice Cube had reached out and whether the long-rumored green light was real, Epps leaned entirely on the receipts — his own recent conversations and the writing session that sparked them. “Have you been in contact with Cube about another movie like ‘Last Friday’?” Big Boy asked Epps. “I just was with Ice Cube, DJ Pooh, and Aaron McGruder, sitting in the room writing this movie,” Epps said, making clear the script is officially in motion. He stressed that the meeting happened “just two days ago,” and that the group wasn’t outlining ideas or tossing concepts around. Epps elaborated: “So we’re writing it right now, and it’s gonna be crazy.” Epps emphasized the moment’s significance by highlighting the lineup in the room. “This is the first time we all got together,” he said. Mike Epps On Ice Cube’s “Last Friday” Film To drive it home, he listed the crew again: “DJ Pooh and Ice Cube, me, DJ Pooh, and Aaron McGruder. All of us in one room, writing in this movie, man.” It was the kind of creative gathering fans have imagined for years, but one that had never actually happened — until now. “This is the first time we all got together,” said Epps. “DJ Pooh and Ice Cube, me, DJ Pooh, and Aaron McGruder. All of us in one room, writing in this movie, man.” He also used the moment to salute Ice Cube directly, crediting him not only for shaping the franchise but for shaping his career. Ice Cube and Epps have worked on several films together, with Friday After Next being one of Epps’ first films. “Shouts out to Ice Cube, the Don Mega,” Epps said, breaking from the update to give Cube his due. “I always give Ice Cube his props, man, because not only did he walk me in the business, but he walked a lot of young brothers and sisters in the business.” By relying solely on his own words, Epps made the message unmistakable: the Last Friday team is finally in the same room, the writing has begun, and Ice Cube remains the cornerstone guiding the franchise’s long-awaited return.

Blueface is back on livestreams and already explaining the new ink he picked up during his two-year prison stretch. The Los Angeles rapper appeared on a recent stream with creator N3on, where a simple question about whether the facility had tattoo artists sparked a deeper breakdown of how prison life shaped the artwork now covering his face. Logos on Blueface’s face include Chase, Wallgreens, and MLB. Blueface said the most striking tattoo came straight from the environment he woke up to each day. Inside the unit, a message painted on a wall read, “Warning, no warning shots fired in this building.” Blueface explains his face tattoos to Neon and why he got them in prison “I’m waking up looking at that every day, put that sh*t on my face” pic.twitter.com/kvAglJBMiq — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) November 11, 2025 According to him, staring at that phrase every morning eventually pushed him to turn it into permanent ink. Laughing as he retold it, he said he told the artist, “Put that shit on my face,” explaining that the prison’s energy seeped into him over time. From there, he pivoted to the markings tied to the School Yard Crips, the set he’s repped since his rise. He pointed out a large “Y” and other symbols tied to School Yard, saying they weren’t fashion statements or trendy graphics. Blueface’s New Face Tattoos To Blueface, they’re neighborhood markers—signals of where he’s from and who he stands with. He added that people outside his world often misread the tattoos as logos instead of identity pieces. Mentioning “YSL” in the same context, he framed all of it as part of a larger hood language that outsiders don’t always understand. Blueface also highlighted one tattoo he connected to the streetwear brand Undefeated. He said the symbol reflects how he sees himself after surviving prison, calling himself “undefeated” with his usual mix of bravado and deadpan confidence. “I’m fuckin’ undefeated—no cap, dead homies,” he said, insisting the ink represents more than aesthetics. Across the livestream, Blueface presented the tattoos as a direct extension of his time inside—shaped by the violence, politics, and survival mindset that define prison culture. His breakdown made clear that each piece carries a story tied to neighborhood pride, personal resilience, or the atmosphere he lived in for two years. And for Blueface, the markings aren’t about reinvention—they’re about returning home with the symbols of what he endured and who he remains.

A Texas Jane Doe has filed a civil complaint in California federal court, against rap star B.o.B., legally known as Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., best known for his hit songs “Airplanes” and “Nothin’ On You.” CBS8 broke the news on Monday morning, Nov. 10. Jane accuses the Atlanta native of imprisoning and sexually assaulting her in a downtown San Diego hotel suite after a 2025 festival performance. The lawsuit, referenced publicly as identifying the plaintiff only as “Jane,” cites her status as an alleged sexual-assault victim. Cancer Survivor Accuses B.o.B. Of Sexual Assault In San Diego Hotel Suitehttps://t.co/FkebICMpU5 pic.twitter.com/hu9rPXSz28 — AllHipHopcom (@allhiphopcom) November 11, 2025 According to the filing, Jane traveled to San Diego in April 2025 to visit family and attend Simmons’ concert at the California Beer Festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The complaint states that the plaintiff, a cancer survivor, developed a strong emotional connection to Simmons’ music during her treatment and credited his lyrics with helping her endure chemotherapy. The suit asserts that Simmons’ set included songs from his 2010 album The Adventures of Bobby Ray, which the plaintiff said held personal significance. She was also aware, according to the filing, that Simmons frequently invited women onstage during performances. B.O.B Sued By Cancer Survivor For Alleged Sexual Assault Jane alleges that on April 26, during the Tequila and Taco Festival, Simmons pulled her onstage without warning and encouraged her to dance. After the show, the rapper’s manager allegedly approached her with an invitation to an after-party at Simmons’ hotel suite. The plaintiff states she accepted because she believed the gathering would include her cousin and the rapper’s wife. The complaint says Jane and her cousin arrived at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter around 3 a.m., where Simmons’ manager escorted them to the penthouse. Jane claims she declined an offer of drugs. The situation allegedly changed after her cousin left the suite to retrieve a jacket from their vehicle. The lawsuit contends that Simmons then approached the plaintiff, groped her, attempted to force her legs apart, grabbed her neck, and kissed her. Jane asserts she was unable to respond due to shock. The filing further states that Simmons’ wife briefly entered the room before being instructed by the rapper to leave. According to the complaint, Simmons resumed the assault until his manager knocked on the door, enabling the plaintiff to exit the room. Jane later reunited with her cousin in the lobby. The suit alleges that members of Simmons’ team were aware of his conduct and failed to intervene, facilitating the assault.

Big Boi is revisiting one of the more revealing chapters in Outkast’s early grind. In a new episode of Conversate With Killer Mike, the Atlanta legend broke down a moment from the mid-’90s that still lingers in his memory — a night when Outkast and Wu-Tang Clan shared a bill in Chicago, and a sudden sound outage left the Southern duo questioning whether the love in the room was real. The story surfaced after Cutmaster Swiff, Outkast’s longtime DJ, spoke on the uneasy energy the group often felt as the lone Southern act on national lineups. Swiff said they were always placed in the same hotels as the East Coast crews, surrounded by support that didn’t always feel authentic. That “fake love,” as he described it, set the stage for Big Boi’s recollection. “I remember when we used to do a lot of shows with Wu-Tang,” Big Boi said. “We was closing. And when we got to perform, them n***as pulled the plugs on the speaker or something like that… We thought they did. Fucked our sound up.” Big Boi admitted the proof wasn’t concrete, but the timing felt intentional. “I’m pretty sure it was them,” he added. Outkast’s Big Boi Remembers Wu-Tang Clan Pulled The Plug On Their Shows Big Boi addressed that this happened long before Outkast and Wu-Tang built their later chemistry, years before their 1998 collaboration “Skew It On The Bar-B.” At the time, the South was still fighting for space on national stages, often met with skepticism from East Coast gatekeepers. Even with the audio issues, Outkast refused to fold. Big Boi said the duo kept the show alive, but backstage, the team wrestled with what went down. “We thought that was neutral ground,” he said of the Chicago stop. “Like, na please, clink. Pull the plug on them nas, ain’t no more show.” Still, Big Boi pushed back against framing the moment as a full-on beef. He explained that things were never openly hostile between the two groups. “It was always love,” he said, though he admitted certain moments felt “subliminal” and made them question how deep that love really went. Big Boi’s story reflects the environment in which Outkast came up. A period when the South was still fighting to be taken seriously. While sharing stages with groups they would eventually call brothers. It’s a reminder of how much work Outkast put in to earn respect, city by city, co-headline by co-headline.

Diddy’s official intake photo has emerged online.  CBS News reported that the photograph was taken while the disgraced mogul is serving his 50-month jail sentence. He will serve out his time at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey. Currently, there are over 4,100 inmates at FCI Fort Dix. According to prison documents, Diddy works in the chapel as an assistant. The job is considered one of the best assignments at Fort Dix. Diddy is responsible for the chaplain’s religious library, cleaning offices, and assisting with record-keeping.  View this post on Instagram “He works in the chapel library, where he describes the environment as warm, respectful, and rewarding,” said Diddy’s publicist, Juda Engelmayer. Diddy receives perks from his gig, such as working in a private office with air conditioning. He is also enrolled in an intensive drug treatment program.  Since he’s been at Fort Dix, Diddy was also the subject of disciplinary action for an unauthorized phone call. The incident occurred a few days after he was transferred to the facility in New Jersey. Diddy told officials it “was a conversation with his legal team about issuing a statement to The New York Times.” Per the Bureau of Prisons, inmates are prohibited from adding multiple people to a call. Also, they can only speak to people on prison phones from “previously approved call lists.” In October, Diddy was sentenced to serve four years and two months behind bars after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy was also ordered to pay the court a fine of $500,000. He must also participate in programs for his mental health and substance abuse issues. The 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder was convicted under the Mann Act. While jurors acquitted Diddy of more serious charges, the guilty verdict on two counts of transportation secured the prison sentence.

Air travel across the United States is facing mounting disruptions as the government shutdown stretches into its second month. 50 Cent took to social media on Sunday to vent frustration over the growing chaos. Even traveling by private jet, 50 Cent encountered significant delays at an airport overwhelmed by cancellations and staffing shortages. In an Instagram video, he said, “They just said that they’re not even letting the jets go.” On X (formerly Twitter), 50 Cent warned followers, “Man the airport is f*cked up. Forget about traveling right now! Unless you’re driving, all roads lead to Shreveport.” His posts included footage of the chaotic terminal, closing with a blunt advisory: “You can’t try to fly regular.” Man the airport is fvcked up, forget about traveling right now! Unless you driving all roads lead to Shreveport. https://t.co/WtNREs32V0 pic.twitter.com/Wn5XZpraeT — 50cent (@50cent) November 10, 2025 What’s Driving the Delays Airports nationwide are struggling to maintain operations as the shutdown compounds staffing challenges. NBC News reported that more than 7,200 flights were delayed and roughly 2,200 canceled as of Sunday. 50 Cent was part of the turmoil stemming largely from a shortage of air traffic controllers, many of whom have gone unpaid for two months. To ease the strain, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented a 10% reduction in flights at several high-traffic airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said last week, “This is about identifying where the pressure points are and how we can relieve them.” Speaking with Fox News on Thursday, he cautioned that disruptions could intensify as the holiday season approaches. Even celebrities like 50 Cent are not immune to these delays. “If we remain in this shutdown posture as we approach Thanksgiving, I anticipate it could be especially challenging,” Duffy said. “While we will work to mitigate safety concerns, the likelihood of flights departing on schedule remains uncertain, and continued disruptions are imminent.”

R&B star Omarion has spoken out after fellow singer Mario made headlines for critiquing his vocals as “hit or miss.” The comment came during Mario’s recent appearance on the Funky Friday Podcast, where the “Let Me Love You” singer was asked about Omarion’s artistry. “Omarion, it be hit or miss for me sometimes,” Mario said, sparking conversation among fans about the two singers’ long-running professional tension. During an interview with Sway Calloway, Omarion responded to the remarks, calling the conversation “wild” and stressing the importance of respect among artists. “It’s not by chance,” Omarion said. “It’s by hard work. I’ve been doing this a long time. For me, it’s all about respect — especially from someone who came after me.” When asked if he would ever collaborate with Mario following the comments, Omarion made it clear he’s not interested. “I’d rather step back,” he admitted. “I don’t think there’s respect there.” View this post on Instagram This isn’t the first time the two have been compared. Omarion and Mario infamously battled in 2022’s VERZUZ, where their vocal performances became a major talking point online. “I’ve worked hard for my name and my career,” Omarion emphasized. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but there’s a way to do it with respect.”

In a scene where sports, music, and redemption intertwined, Harlem rapper Max B shared a heartfelt reunion with Method Man during the New York Jets’ recent victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Wu-Tang Clan legend captured the energy of the moment as fans cheered, marking a vibrant snapshot of joy and renewal. In a playful exchange caught on camera, Max B greeted Method Man with humor and warmth. “Get me a job!” he called out, jokingly asking for photography work as the two embraced amid the roar of the crowd. Joined by longtime collaborator French Montana, Max appeared fully immersed in the celebration—a moment that felt both lighthearted and deeply symbolic. Later, in a short interview with The People Gallery, Max B spoke candidly about his gratitude and sense of peace. “I’m feeling righteous,” he said. “Feeling good. I’m grateful. I’m thankful. God is good.” Offering style advice to fans, he added, “Listen, man, just be yourself… Buy what you can afford, wear what you like. If it looks good on you, own it!” Max B returns, free and wavy When asked about his favorite film, Max B named New Jack City without hesitation, before joking that his favorite song was “my favorite.” He encouraged aspiring artists to connect with him, saying, “Listen, anybody that can keep up with the boss don or anyone who’s an A-lister—look me up! I’ll help you get right; I’ll get you wavy.” This public outing carried extra weight given Max B’s recent return home after spending more than 15 years behind bars. Initially sentenced to 75 years in 2009, he accepted a reduced 20-year plea deal for aggravated manslaughter in 2016 and was officially released earlier this year. French Montana marked the milestone with a heartfelt message: “CANT MAKE THIS UP! MY BROTHER REALLY CAME HOME ON MY B DAY! HAMDULILLAH WALKED IT DOWN! NO MORE FREE YOU.” The Jets secured a 27-20 win that day, pushing their record to 2-7 as the team continues to navigate midseason roster changes involving standouts Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. For Max B, the day represented far more than a football victory—it was a celebration of freedom, friendship, and the resilience that continues to define both his story and his sound.

Billboard is unveiling its much-anticipated list of the top 25 songwriters of the 21st century, releasing names gradually throughout the week. Jay-Z claims the 25th spot, cementing his legacy as one of music’s most influential figures. The countdown began Monday with the first five names, with additional announcements expected in the coming days. Following Jay-Z, the list features notable talents, including Kanye West, Sean Garrett, Fergie, and Jermaine Dupri. Billboard’s methodology focuses on chart performance, highlighting songwriters who have led the Hot 100 with the most number-one hits since 2000.

Among his most notable contributions is Beyoncé’s 2003 hit “Baby Boy,” featuring Sean Paul, which stayed atop the chart for nine consecutive weeks. Social media reactions to the rankings have been mixed. One X user (formerly Twitter) argued, “He gave Rihanna a career and hits, so he actually deserves a higher spot.” Another fan praised his enduring influence: “Consistent impact for two decades, that’s legendary.” A Star-Studded Celebration The Billboard announcement coincided with Jay-Z and Beyoncé attending Kris Jenner’s extravagant 70th birthday over the weekend. TMZ reports indicate that the couple arrived discreetly, avoiding paparazzi attention and using a high-priority parking spot. The celebration took place at the Beverly Hills home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, drawing an A-list crowd including Chris Rock, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Mariah Carey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Paris Hilton. Jenner’s six children—Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Rob, Kylie, and Kendall—were also in attendance to honor their mother’s milestone.
