T.I. vs. Chaka Zulu
We are all aware of the beef that has been circulating
between both T.I. and Ludacris as it made headlines a while
back. As the years past, the lyrical war lay dormant and at some point we
thought the feud had subsided. Ludacris mentioned lewd comments about T.I. in
some of his lyrics, as T.I. did the same. Since both reign from Atlanta, the
beef always laid close to home on both sides. Recently, both were seen communicating
on good terms without any acts or signs of animosity. Apparently, the feud, we
thought subsided, stood at a standstill.
On late Sunday afternoon (June 24) in West Hollywood,
California, T.I. and Ludacris’ manager, Chaka
Zulu, came face to face at a luncheon being hosted by Kevin Liles. The luncheon, Liles called “Make It Happen.” was set for investors and power brokers, which
included many big names of the industry, in addition to honoring long time
actress Holly Robinson Peete. Sources
say within three hours into the event, words were exchanged between both T.I.
and Chaka, causing an ill-tempered T.I. to throw the first punch. Chaka
received a direct blow across the face, which quickly erupted into a swift
clash lasting only minutes. It is still uncertain what exactly caused the brief
altercation.
Place your bets! This was something I wish I was there to
see live, I can imagine Ludacris’ reaction to something like that. I’m amazed
at the fact that, as little as T.I. is, that boy got some fight in him. As they
say, “It’s not the size of the dog, but
the size of the fight in the dog.” All jokes aside, I would’ve put my money
on T.I.
Young Buck Namedrops
DJ Khaled and others
With the beef still circulating between G-Unit and Terror Squad,
mainly 50 Cent and Fat Joe, there has been some
blacklisting of music abroad. Fat Joe’s main connection in Miami is 99Jamz infamous radio personality DJ Khaled; it is a known fact that
Miami is a major base market for music next to New York and Los Angeles, and
since Khaled’s signing to Terror Squad, his loyalty remains solely to them. Ever
since 50 Cent has made enemies with Fat Joe, there is a deep understanding of
why DJ Khaled refuses to spin G-Unit tracks.
Apparently, Young
Buck doesn’t seem to accept the fact and the reasoning of why his tracks
are beginning blacklisted from Khaled’s rotation. His anger pushes him to slash
out with an untitled track addressing the celebrated Miami DJ of his
unchangeable decision. In his track, Buck namedrops Miami artists, Rick Ross and Trick Daddy, self proclaiming his clout amongst them. He also goes
forth in mentioning his affiliation with the infamous Zoe Pound, known across Miami, with just a simple signature greeting.
This is a perfect example of happens when 50 Cent runs his
mouth, it causes bad business and puts G-Unit on blacklists in most of the
industry. I understand DJ Khaled’s reasoning on not adding Young Buck’s songs
to his rotation and I certainly don’t blame him. His loyalty to Terror Squad runs
deep and honesty I would do the same.
50 Cent is Summoned For More Child Support
Apparently, 50 Cent is having more than just business problems;
the G-Unit Leader is also having baby mama drama. The mother of his 10 year old
son, Marquise Jackson, has brought Fiffy back to court claiming that the
$25,000 in child support isn’t enough to cover all of his son’s expenses
including household bills. With all of Fiffy’s personal ventures with music and
fashion, he is reported to make $33 million a year. The lawyer for the mother
of his child is asking for more, and says that Fiffy can surely cover that and
extra in wages. Both sides are handling the matter in family court in New York.
Damn, what hell does little 25 Cent eat, lobster and filet
mignon every day? Those Jordans and Timbs better be made out of Gold. If she
can’t last on $25,000 a month, what the hell is buying all the damn time? But
then again, he makes too much damn money anyway, either pay the child support
or seek custody of the child.
