    Ja Rule Wants To Produce A 50 Cent Documentary- Reigniting Their Legendary Feud

    Just when you thought the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent was over, a new level has been unlocked.

    This past Sunday, Ja Rule had some things to say about 50 Cent and his producing the four-part Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The “Always on Time” rapper tweeted, “Let’s be real that n***a dgaf about the victims we ALL know why he did the doc.”

    He continued, “Herman’s a cancer to the culture if he cares so much, then donate the profits to charities for domestic violence.” Ja Rule continued his rant about 50 Cent on Monday, Dec. 8th, where he alluded to making his own documentary about 50.

    Rule shared screenshots of old articles displaying the “Many Men” rapper’s alleged involvement in assaulting his former partner and burning down the house belonging to the mother of his first child.

    “I think I’m gonna start doing docs there’s A LOT to unpack here ALLEGEDLY,” he tweeted. Ja Rule also tweeted that 50 Cent was a rat for producing the docuseries about Diddy.

    It’s previously been reported that Daphne Joy, the mother of 50’s youngest son, Sire Jackson, accused the rapper of sexual and physical violence against her. He reportedly trolled her after she was named as a sex worker in a lawsuit filed against Diddy. 50 went on to filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit.

    While promoting the docuseries, 50 Cent has said that he doesn’t have any negative feelings towards the disgraced media mogul. Sean Combs: The Reckoning is streaming now on Netflix.

  • Former Cop In George Floyd Murder Case Seeks New Trial

    Former Cop In George Floyd Murder Case Seeks New Trial

    Former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, wants a new trial.

    Chauvin is currently serving a 22.5-year prison sentence after being found guilty of state and federal convictions. Four years after the verdict that ended his career, Chauvin’s attorney is now seeking to reopen the case.

    According to reports, Chauvin’s attorney, Gregory Joseph, submitted a 71-page motion in Hennepin County District Court asking to have three convictions vacated, including second-degree murder.

    The motion argues that the ex-cop was “denied a fair trial due to prosecutorial misconduct and improper jury instructions.” The defense also claims that there was “false or misleading testimony from key witnesses.”

    Joseph also argued that enough time has gone by to revisit the case without public pressure. If you remember, the death of Floyd caused widespread protests, which started the “Black Lives Matter” movement. He believes the court can review the case “through a clear lens.”

    The motion also argues that the prosecution’s medical expert’s testimony was based on the video footage of Floyd’s death instead of the autopsy findings.

    It goes on to challenge the way the video evidence was presented to jurors by the prosecutors, and that Judge Peter Cahill “misinstructed the jurors on points of the law.”

    Derek Chauvin and his legal team are requesting a new trial date from the court. If it’s denied, his attorneys will seek an evidentiary hearing to further argue their claims.

  • Muni Long Leaves ‘The Boy Is Mine’ Tour Due To Health Issues

    Muni Long Leaves ‘The Boy Is Mine’ Tour Due To Health Issues

    Muni Long will no longer be a part of Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” tour. The singer announced on her social media, citing that she was dealing with some health issues.

    “As many of you know, I’ve been battling some health issues throughout The Boy Is Mine Tour,” she wrote. “Despite doing everything I can to push through, my doctors have made it clear that it’s not safe for me to continue with the remaining dates of the tour.”

    Long has recently opened up about her battle with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. In August, she wrote on her Threads account, “Lupus really be having EVERYTHING hurting.”

    She continued, “Like bro, how tf I got on tights, and they are hurting my skin on my legs. Like it’s throbbing down my leg. I didn’t even know that was possible. Sometimes it hurts to have clothes on. And this is almost every day I gotta deal with this. And people? It’s tew much.”

    This isn’t the first time the “Superpowers” singer had to cancel a show because of a lupus flare-up. “Lupus does not announce when it will flare up,” she wrote on X.

    In an interview with People, she talked about the symptoms she experiences. “People with lupus have little signs, right? Like my fingertips will start turning blue. My skin will get really pale.”

    She continued, “I’ll start looking super white. Which is hard to imagine because I’m brown-skinned. But literally my skin will turn like a light, ashy color.”

    “The Boy Is Mine” started in October, and it featured Long, Jamal Roberts, Coco Jones, and Kelly Rowland as the openers. On October 25, Long posted that she had pneumonia and canceled her appearances in Chicago and Kansas City.

    Mya filled in for Long during those stops and went on to perform in Greensboro, Baltimore, Memphis, and Atlanta. There is no word on a replacement artist. An official statement has been released confirming her departure.

    “Muni has been phenomenal throughout this tour; her voice, her presence, and her energy brought something truly unforgettable to every city we visited,” the statement read. “We are deeply grateful for all she gave, and we fully support her decision to put her health first. Please join us in sending Muni love, strength, and healing energy as she takes the time she needs to recover.”
