50 Cent and Stevie J are still taking shots at each other on social media, with the G-Unit boss now referring to his adversary as “Diddy‘s boyfriend.”
The producer joined TMZ for an interview on Tuesday (April 2), during which where he referred to Fif as an “Uncle Tom” who “wants to bring the Black community down.”
“With guys like 50 — Uncle Tom cats like that — uou can’t brush it under the rug,” he said. “I don’t see anybody reporting about what Tatted Up Holly said about him beating her up and his other baby moms saying he beat her up. I just look at it as he wants to bring the Black community down worse than anybody else. How is that so?”
Soon after the above comments began circulating online, the “Candy Shop” hitmaker shared a picture of himself from a Branson Cognac with the caption: “Diddy’s boy friend called me a sell out, He is correct I’m selling out BRANSON COGNAC LOL [clapping emojis] drink responsibly.”

Last week, Stevie J challenged 50 Cent to a fight after the mogul made fun of him for allegedly having sex with men per the latest lawsuit filed against Diddy.
Fif, who has been relentlessly mocking the embattled Bad Boys boss over his legal drama, also set his sights on the Hitmen veteran by joking: “Whoa say it ain’t so @hitmansteviej_1 WTF, this shit is a mess.”
In response, Stevie called out the “In Da Club” rapper and challenged him to a fight.
“Curtis what’s good, man?” he said in a video posted online. “You in your feelings about Daphne [Joy] because she with the gang now? Or is that you sucking Lil Rod dick? However it go, I wanna shoot the fade n-gga. Fuck all that.
“Since it’s entertainment, let me beat the shit out of you on TV or something. Don’t duck that. I’m calling you out. What you wanna do, Curtis? Curtisss!”
50 Cent has yet to directly respond to the challenge, and while it is unlikely the two will actually fight, the New York City MC did bring attention back to previous claims that Stevie is gay made by his ex-wife.
Busta Rhymes is honoring his late friend D’Angelo in a truly moving way. The rapper released a heartfelt tribute track titled “Magic,” marking one of his most emotional releases in years. The song celebrates the neo-soul legend D’Angelo, who sadly passed away earlier this month after a private battle with cancer. Over the smooth, soulful backdrop of D’Angelo’s “One Mo’ Gin” from his 2000 classic Voodoo, Busta reflects deeply, sharing raw and powerful emotions through his storytelling.
Throughout the seven-minute piece, Busta takes listeners on a journey through his 34-year friendship with D’Angelo. He recalls their early sessions with A Tribe Called Quest and describes the lasting connection they built over the decades. Instead of simply celebrating the music, Busta pays homage to the person behind it. He describes D’Angelo as a rare, once-in-a-generation artist who “never needed a co-sign” and “touched the souls of the people and everything between.”
During an interview with Okayplayer, Busta called D’Angelo “a godsend,” reflecting on his influence across R&B and hip-hop. “The Earth shifted when D came to do music,” he said, a statement that perfectly sums up D’Angelo’s impact. Anyone familiar with Brown Sugar, Voodoo, or Black Messiah knows his legacy speaks volumes.
“Magic” feels like a conversation between two lifelong friends. Busta Rhymes gives fans an intimate look at a bond that helped shape decades of soul-infused hip-hop. The tributes pouring in since D’Angelo’s passing highlight not only his extraordinary artistry but also the love and respect he inspired among peers. Lauryn Hill expressed it beautifully, writing, “Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us.”
