50 cent

Today (July 6) is the birthday of one of hip-hop's most dominant forces and a major example of a self-made man.

Check out the Best and Worst Moments at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards that made us smile, laugh, tear up or even cause a side-eye or two.

The 2015 Billboard Music Awards brought out the brightest superstars in hip-hop and R&B, and, of course, the most fashionable outfits on the red carpet. And since the awards ceremony was right in the heart of Las Vegas, we expected to see an abundance of hot ensembles.

50 Cent and Joe Budden almost found themselves involved in a heated Twitter spat over Power's marketing tactics.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! 50 Cent is taking over the newspaper industry. Well, not quite. The hip-hop toughie has been tapped to be a guest editor for New York Daily News’ Confidenti@l section next week.

Even though he’s notorious for sparking beefs and barking on foes, 50 Cent has a huge philanthropic side when it comes to helping families during the holiday season.

50 Cent is good at a lot of things: rapping, entrepreneurship, marketing and much more. The rapper made us painfully aware that throwing out the first pitch at baseball game isn't one of them.

Just released federal court papers show 50 Cent has been ordered to pay more than $16 million in damages and attorney fees in connection with a dispute between the rapper and a Florida audio company involving a line of headphones, the Bradenton Herald reports.

Last week, 50 Cent unveiled the official artwork for his highly-anticipated album, Animal Ambition. Now, the rapper is giving fans the chance to hear new material lifted from the upcoming set, which arrives later this summer.
