50 Cent Claims That J. Cole’s Apology to Kendrick Lamar “Hurt” Him.

50 Cent feels J. Cole’s apology for his Kendrick Lamar diss track “hurt” him in competing to be the best emcee ever.

During an interview with Hot97, Fif was asked his opinion on the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud. 50 called the battle “good for the culture” and thought that Drake had the upper hand going into the battle. However, the energy shifted once Kendrick returned swinging, pushing momentum in his favor and ultimately securing the win.

As the conversation continued, Fif was done with the topic of Drizzy and Kenny and wanted to spotlight the man who bowed out. “So what about J. Cole?” Fif asked, to which the room bursted out in laughter. “I’m just saying, the culture, the culture, the competitive nature of [the culture]…how?”

Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg explained that they were empathetic with Cole’s stance after he apologized at Dreamville Fest but were taken aback after recently dropping his “Port Antonio” track.

In the song, Cole asserted that had he not bowed out, he would have won the battle but would’ve lost a brother in the process. Fif then chimed in, saying, “You just said that ‘Feelings were valid,’ guys, you just said ‘Feelings were valid,’ that’s why when [Cole] stopped, he said ‘He could have lost a brother, but he would have lost the battle.’ Now, I was looking for J. Cole, like, I’m like, ‘Oh let me see what he gon’ do. And then when [he apologized] I was like, ‘Why did he do that?’ I wanted to call him and tell him, ‘Nooooooooo.’”

When Rosenberg asks whether or not the apology hurt his standings in the all-time list, Fif bluntly responds, saying, “Yes.” 50 Cent then offers a potential scenario that could arise from Cole releasing “Port Antonio.” He began thinking about how Cole asserting that he would have won the battle could lead to Kendrick questioning the emcee’s motives and readying another diss aimed at the Dreamville founder. “Boy, you in trouble,” he said, responding to his own hypothetical scenario.

Sulli’s Brother BLASTS Fans In Scathing Post – Fans React!!!

Sulli’s older brother uploaded a blank post to his personal Instagram with a caption that left netizens speculating that the “Kim” he is referring to is Kim Soo Hyun. It was unclear who he was referring to, though Kim Soo Hyun’s connection to Sulli led many to believe he was the “Kim” mentioned. In 2017, Sulli and Kim Soo Hyun starred in the movie Real together, directed by Lee Sa Rang. The movie was criticized for not having a clear plot and heavily advertised Sulli’s nude scenes.

Playboi Carti’s ‘Music’ Shatters Records, Soaring to First U.K. No. 1 Album!

Playboi Carti has landed his first-ever No. 1 album in the U.K. with Music (March 21). It marks Carti’s first LP in just more than four years, following December 2020’s Whole Lotta Red, which peaked at No. 17. The Atlanta rapper, born Jordan Terrell Carter, also previously saw success on the Official U.K. Albums Chart with 2018’s Die Lit (No. 27). The sprawling 30-track effort features cameos from an all-star guestlist, including Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Jhené Aiko. The record was announced less than a week prior to its release, following years of development purgatory — from its title changing multiple times to a protracted recording process. Two songs from Music also appear in the top 10 — “Evil J0rdan” (No. 7) and “Rather Lie” with The Weeknd (No. 10), taking Carti’s all-time Top 10 tally to four. Upon release, it became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far. As the Short n’ Sweet Tour continues to roll through the U.K. and Europe, Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth LP lands at No. 2 this week. The 2025 BRITs Global Success award winner first topped the Official U.K. Albums Chart in September 2024, with Short n’ Sweet going on to become the third-biggest album of last year in the country. Songwriter and Porcupine Tree founder Steven Wilson follows at No. 3, matching his previous solo career-best with eighth studio collection The Overview. Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM slips three spots to No. 4, while Tate McRae rounds out the Top 5 with So Close To What. Following its release on Blood Records white powder filled vinyl, Charli XCX’s  Brat remix LP makes its Top 40 debut this week (No. 40). Titled Brat & It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat, the collection’s initial streaming release in November 2024 pushed its parent album to No.1 in the U.K. for the first time. After taking this week’s No. 1 single with “Ordinary,” breakout U.S. singer-songwriter Alex Warren is on the cusp of his first-ever Top 40 album with You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1). Initially released in September, the record has jumped 13 spots to a new No. 41 peak.
