King Harris Claims He Copyrighted 50 Cent’s Mom’s Name For Weed Brand

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:50:15 +0000

The beef between 50 Cent and T.I. has died down as of late, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still a lot of bad blood between them. Most recently, Tip’s son King Harris doubled down on his disses to 50’s late mother Sabrina Jackson by claiming he got a copyright to allude to her likeness for a weed brand.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, King took to social media to respond to fans still discussing the conflict. 50 Cent dissed King Harris’ family in the theme song to a new Power series, so Harris thinks they are even now.

“People asking me why we got Ms. Jackson on a pack? N***a wanted to make a TV show,” he remarked. “I call it even. When I’m listening to the intro of the goddamn season, I’m going to be smoking Ms. Jackson. We even. Fair game. You did your s**t, I did my s**t. […] And I had got her name copyrighted since nobody wanted to do it. Other than Outkast, Ms. Jackson is mine, son. To be exact, ‘Ms. Jackson OG’ and ‘Ms. Jackson Candy Shop’ is me.”

The young rapper has been sharing this marijuana line on social media as of late, further adding fuel to this fire. Considering how the G-Unit mogul has mostly stuck to social media trolling to respond to the Harris family, we doubt he will go much harder in response here. But that’s always a possibility…

Why Are T.I. & 50 Cent Beefing?

For those unaware, the conflict between T.I. and 50 Cent this year allegedly stems from 50 backing out of a Verzuz battle with Tip that they had allegedly agreed to. That narrative persisted for years, but it didn’t go beyond simple social media trolls and off-hand comments.

Now, though, we have a lot of diss tracks to dissect, mostly from the Harris family. Fif’s only on-wax response so far has been the aforementioned Power: Origins theme song, which only contains partial clap-backs.

We will see how this alleged copyright pans out. While things are on a downturn right now, this feud could easily re-escalate with more social media shots.

Drake Is Reportedly On Pace To Achieve Hip-Hop’s Biggest Streaming Year Ever

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 15:01:43 +0000

Drake is always breaking Spotify records, whether it’s garnering the most streams as a rapper in 2026 so far or topping year-end lists. The most recent updates on his commercial performance this year reportedly keep him on pace to achieve the biggest streaming year in hip-hop history.

According to Bars on Instagram, Drizzy just became the first rapper to surpass 4 billion Spotify streams in 2026, which he reportedly achieved in 77 days. Other close names include Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Kendrick Lamar. He previously had his biggest streaming year ever on the platform (and in rap history) in 2025 with 17.6 billion streams. As such, this hypothetical achievement would be the 6ix God breaking his own record.

Not only that, but the Toronto superstar reportedly became the first artist to surpass 120 billion total streams on Spotify across his entire discography. Also, he broke the record for a rapper’s single-day streams on the platform, garnering 92.4 million streams on Valentine’s Day last year. Although folks still debate about Drake’s artistry, it’s clearly still resonating with so many people.

Is Drake A Billionaire?

With all these records and achievements in mind, many fans expect that the OVO mogul should be a billionaire by now. Of course, a lot of his revenue comes from record label contracts, brand endorsements and partnerships, and other business endeavors outside of streaming earnings. But The Boy hasn’t been confirmed as a billionaire at press time, with an estimated reported net worth of up to $400 million.

This still makes him one of the richest artists in the world, a status this commercial performance holds up. But there might be more moves in 2026 that make this possible streaming year record even more impressive.

Drake’s new album ICEMAN is on the way, although we don’t have an official release date for it yet. Many fans expect it to come out soon, or at least at some point this year. We’re still getting significant hints about the project, even if fans continue to demand a drop. As such, there’s a lot of anticipation brewing for what the tracklist could hold.

Latto Steps Out With Baby Bump For The First Time Since “Big Mama” Reveal

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:30:05 +0000

Latto has kept her foot on the gas ever since blowing up in the late 2010s, and this new era might be her most significant yet. Her new album Big Mama comes out later this year, and she also announced she’s expecting a child. It’s all but confirmed that 21 Savage is the father, based on various strong hints and the earlier confirmation of their relationship on the Atlanta femcee’s behalf.

Speaking of ATL, she popped out for the Atlanta Hawks home game against the Golden State Warriors last night (Saturday, March 21). It marks the first time the 27-year-old has been in public with her baby bump, and her sister Brooklyn Nikole accompanied her.

As shared by the Hawks on their Instagram page, the two posed up for some pictures, in which Latto’s belly slightly pops out of her white top. They also shared a moment with the Harry the Hawk mascot. Many fans expressed happiness for the mother-to-be in the comments, speculating that she’s very pleased with being able to go out in public now without much of a fuss.

When Did 21 Savage Get Married?

However, this pregnancy announcement also raised some questions around Latto and 21 Savage’s relationship. Fans remembered how 21 reportedly married Keyanna Joseph in 2020 after his visa case, positing that there may be some more contentious dynamics at play. However, Joseph reportedly liked the announcement post on Instagram, so that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Neither artist has commented on this matter at press time, and we will see if they choose to clear this up at any point. Some fans still think folks need more explicit confirmation on all these matters, but the hints continue to add up.

In any case, Big Mama comes out on May 29 of this year, and its “Business & Personal” single is leading the rollout. In the music video, fans caught various strong allusions to Savage being the father, as well as other compelling details surrounding Latto’s recent updates.

At least now she can finally enter a public space without spoiling the reveal. Rumors have flown around for a while, and that weight has come off the lyricist’s shoulders.

50 Cent Blames Diddy For Usher & Justin Bieber’s Alleged Confrontation

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 13:54:25 +0000

TMZ recently published a report on Usher allegedly confronting Justin Bieber at an Oscars after-party earlier this month, which neither party has confirmed at press time. Still, this has led to many reactions and debates online, which 50 Cent has now contributed to. Via Instagram, he shared a photo generated by artificial intelligence that depicts the alleged confrontation, seemingly pointing to Diddy as a potential reason for the altercation.

The image in question depicts the pop superstar grabbing the R&B icon and pointing a finger at him. Per Hollywood Unlocked on IG, the image comes from an A.I.-generated video of them fighting, with Beyoncé in the background. She and Jay-Z hosted the Oscars after-party. On the other hand, it could be that the video was generated from the original A.I. picture.

“I was a baby why you let him do that to me. WHAT THAT’s what I thought when saw this picture,” Fif captioned his post. While he didn’t explicitly connect this to Sean Combs, considering 50 Cent’s attacks on Diddy in the past, the context is hard to ignore. We will see if Usher and Justin Bieber ever speak out about their present dynamic or respond to these allegations.

What Happened With Diddy & Justin Bieber?

For those unaware, 50’s post seems to allude to rumors that Diddy mistreated Justin Bieber when he mentored him as a young artist. This connection reportedly emerged via Usher, who also experienced mentorship under Combs and supported Bieber a lot early in his career. Right now, the dynamic between all of them is very unclear.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” Bieber’s team reportedly told TMZ last year. This was amid the Bad Boy mogul’s federal case. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve,” the singer’s team concluded.

Apparently, Justin Bieber unfollowed Usher on Instagram in January of last year, although it’s unclear if there’s a negative reason for this or if fans are reading too deeply into that. Nevertheless, this rumor of a confrontation only adds to speculation about a falling out. Even when a situation has nothing to do with Diddy, though, 50 Cent will always find a way.

BOAT REMIX – Song by Trim & Pooh Shiesty

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 08:30:00 +0000

Trim is one of the hottest rappers out of South Carolina right now who seeks to capitalize on her momentum with her new “BOAT” remix (the “SLIMEY” edition) with Pooh Shiesty. This late 2025 hit gained motion for its addictive clap patterns, deep and growling bass and kicks, and Trim’s own charismatic performance. It’s a very relentless cut overall on the mic, and Pooh Shiesty injects the track with some more laid-back and confident swagger. His more gruff delivery contrasts well with the South Carolina femcee’s more nasal tone, and we hope they link up for more bangers in the future. At this rate, we can likely expect even more versions of “BOAT” to come through and continue its wave.

Release Date: March 20, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from BOAT REMIX

My n***a posted outside of the block,
You know hе get to blasting when n***as act tough,
All of my shooters be ready to scope,
I see you n***as be ready to bluff

Rewind It – Song by Nino Paid

Alexander Cole — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Nino Paid is a young artist who has been shining over the past few years. He had one of the best projects of 2025, and remains someone to watch out for in 2026. This past week, the artist came through with a dope song in “Rewind It.” This is an introspective track in which we get a much somber tone from the artist. In fact, throughout the song, Nino Paid admits to writing sad songs, although his circumstances have compelled him to do so. It is an incredibly emotionally mature song, and there is no denying that Nino Paid has been through quite a bit. It’s a dope track and one that we recommend you check out.

Album: OX!

Quotable Lyrics from Rewind It

I know I said I’m done with all the sad songs

It’s hard for me to smile when my brother gone
Somebody I would live for and die with

They are gearing up for a project called UYSCUTIBOYZ, and there is no doubt that the fans are very excited to hear it.

The first half of the track is from diamond*, and it is a bit more subdued. Meanwhile, Tezzus takes over the second half of the song, where we are met with some wild energy. Overall, it is a cool track and one that will get new fans hooked.

Fetty P Franklin and DaBaby recently dropped off a project called KIRK FRANKLIN. Now, Fetty P is off on his own and just came through with a new single. This effort is called “Get Yo Money,” and it is the perfect hustle song. In this track, the message is very simple. Get some money by any means necessary.

MISMATCH – Song by Lackvill & Jace!

Alexander Cole — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Lackvill and Jace! have come through with a new song called “MISMATCH.” Thankfully, the chemistry of these two artists isn’t what the title of the song might suggest. These two have been on a run in the underground, and it just makes sense for them to join forces. Each artist has a unique approach to flows and songwriting, but when combined, it makes for a fun experiment. Fans of these artists are certainly going to be intrigued by what they are doing here. Given their recent activity, it feels as though Lackvill and Jace! will be artists to watch throughout 2026.

Release Date: March 20, 2026

Genre: Underground Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from MISMATCH

I mix Jordan with Dolce (Dolce; yeah)
Don’t cut on my block, it’s a one-way (One-way)
I got blood on my hands, need to donate (Gang)
Lil’ bro not a shooter, he pump fake (Ugh)
