It’s been one heck of a week for 50 Cent. The veteran MC released his first album in almost five years, reunited his G-Unit crew and performed at Hot 97 Summer Jam, while another man got robbed for his chain just a few feet away. Now that man is launching an investigation against Fif and other unnamed parties.

Slow, one half of the clothing company and “urban brand” Slowbucks, was robbed of his jewelry while standing on the same stage that 50 Cent and Fabolous performed on at the concert in New Jersey on Sunday night.

In an interview with Hot 97, Fif claimed that he was unaware of the the robbery and didn’t see anything.

On Thursday (June 5), Slow held a press conference in New York City to speak on the incident with his civil investigator, John P. Bostany.

“If you look at the videos, every single one, whether he’s the one picking up the chain or not is irrelevant,” Bostany is quoted as saying by AllHipHop.com. “His body is facing what’s going on and the he turns around, in the middle of it all, and faces the crowd.”

According to Bostany, the robbery was a deliberate attempt to tarnish the Slowbucks brand. “They know he is the founder of Slowbucks, the #1 urban brand on the rise today. They want to hurt that brand and they are trying to hurt that brand we are going to put and end to that,” he said. “We’re here, I’m a trademark attorney, ...

For the most part, Lil Wayne ain’t got no worries.

But the YMCMB head honcho might have a problem or two with the Insane Clown Posse after he hears about the shade they threw his way about his “swag.”

“Everybody thinks it’s wack, it’s corny, the skintight pants he wears and sh–,” ICP’s Shaggy 2 Dope told HipHopDX. “Nobody gonna say sh– about it because everybody don’t want to burn no bridge with him and Cash Money. It’s like, ‘Come on, man. Everyone knows your swag is corny as f–k.’ Just nobody want to say it.”

According to the the wicked clowns from Detroit, no one in the industry wants to slam Weezy in any shape or form. Question is, though, why did the The Mighty Death Pop! MCs feel the need to?

“Because it’s corny as f–k,” Shaggy said. “Come on, man. Look how stupid he looks. How can you be rockin’ leotards, you know? It’s like, ‘Come on, man. You can’t do that.’ It’s also tongue-in-cheek, too. He probably knows he’s corny for wearing it, but he’s like, ‘I can wear whatever the f–k I want to wear and people will respect it.’ It’s just silly.”

But before Tunechi issues an expletive-filled video tirade directed at the two leaders of the Juggalos, he should know that their “shots” are all in fun.

“It’s done in a comedian fashion,” Shaggy said. “How can you be mad if a comedian is making jokes about you? With Lil Wayne, of ...

Hunter Hayes could not stop spreading his big, cheesy grin all over the 2014 CMT Music Awards. The budding country star was all-smiles, from the red carpet to his “Tattoo” solo performance and even when no one was watching backstage.

We’re still waiting for this epic selfie to hit Instagram

Cheesin’ it up backstage

From the small to the silver, Nick Cannon‘s taking over all your screens this summer. Not only can you watch the new season of “Wild ‘N Out,” premiering July 2 at 11/10c, but you can also hit up your local movie theater to see the comedic genius’ directorial debut, “School Dance,” the SAME day! Call it a two-for-one Cannon special.

Comingsoon.net just released the trailer for the film, which features a few familiar faces from Nick’s MTV2 family. “Ain’t That America” host Lil Duval and former “WNO” cast member Katt Williams are among those set to appear in the R-rated comedy about an unpopular teen (Bobb’e J. Thompson) who tries out for his school’s dance team in order to impress the hot chick (Melissa Molinaro). Comedy kings Kevin Hart and George Lopez also round out the hilarious cast.

Although Nick’s no stranger to starring in teen rom-coms, the “Drumline” actor chose to step behind the cameras and into the director’s chair this time around. Watch your back, Spielberg, because there’s clearly nothing this guy can’t do.

Check out the teaser, and catch the movie in theaters, VOD or digital HD July 2.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a Nicki Minaj show, right before she hits the stage, this video will give you a better idea. The YMCMB rapper shared a vlog chronicling her experience at Hot 97′s Summer Jam concert last weekend, where she took the stage with Drake, Lil Wayne, Young Thug and more.

In addition to schmoozing with the boys and running down her setlist before showtime, Nicki also got in a lil twerking — until choreographer Laurieann Gibson stepped in and demanded that she get focused. But that’s all a part of the show isn’t it?

We also get to see Nicki practice a few of her lines and share some hugs with Lil Wayne, Birdman and even Rihanna, who all kicked it backstage.

A native of Grenada, a product of Brooklyn, a student of hip-hop. Hi, I'm @neweryork.

Way back in 2012, when he was still new to the pop-music scene, Austin Mahone told MTV News he was “flattered” to be compared to Justin Bieber. After all, not that many people knew who the fresh-faced singer from San Antonio, Texas, was — so he admitted that being compared to the superstar was “not that bad of a thing.”

But now — with a fanbase that has grown by the millions and a handful of ubiquitous tracks under his belt — it’s all starting to get on his nerves. (Surely, Bieber’s bout of legal troubles and racist video leaks don’t have him welcoming the comparisons, either.)

“I can kind of see where they’re coming from, but at the same time, it’s kind of obnoxious,” he told the Associated Press on Thursday (June 5).

Granted, there are some striking similarities between the two: Both rose to fame all on social media and YouTube, both seem to be constantly surrounded by a throng of screaming female fans. And then there’s the hair, of course. But according to Mahone, the similarities end there.

“They see a young kid who sings and dances and…they’re like, `Oh, another Justin Bieber.’ Like, you don’t even know,” he said. “You don’t know me. You don’t know my music. You’re just making assumptions.”

Tyler, the Creator kicked his feet up on “Larry King Now” on Wednesday, and he had plenty to say. The Odd Future member discussed music, aspirations outside of rap, fame, criticism, influences, “Loiter Squad” and plenty more with the veteran host during their interview.

Oh, and he confessed his love for Jennifer Lawrence. Obviously.

There were a number of memorable moments, but here are some of the most standout quotes from the half hour sit-down:

On his love life:
“I love Jennifer Lawrence. If you’re watching this, leave the n—a you with!”

On music:
“I hate rapping.”
“I really wanna sing.”
“I’m pretty bored with it.”

On social medial like Twitter and Snapchat:
“It’s making kids so stupid.”

On the n-word:
“You could call me a n—a and I would not give a f–k.”

On Barack Obama:
“I could give a f–k less about his skin color.”

And, finally…Larry, to Tyler, at the end of the interview:
“Love ya, man.”

And there you have it.

We must admit that when Girl Talk and Freeway first announced plans to get together for a collaborative project, we didn’t really know what to expect.

Not only is the Broken Ankles EP a great top to bottom listen, but the Pennsylvania duo gave us some eye-popping visuals as well. Watch as the newly-formed duo break down their blood-soaked video for “Tolerated.”

While most pregnant women are over the moon to soon be welcoming a mini-me into the world, any one of them will tell you that constantly getting kicked in the ribs or peeing every time they sneeze is the pits. Jenni Farley has been pretty vocal about feeling crummy during her daughter-to-be’s incubation period, and her BFF, Nicole Polizzi, definitely didn’t enjoy waddling around Seaside Heights — in 90-degree weather, no less — during her third trimester with son Lorenzo. But both guidettes are incredibly excited to give birth (JWOWW’s due with her first in July, Snooki’s set to pop out her second — a girl — in the fall), and to celebrate, we created an animated web series of their baby bumps gossiping like old friends while waiting (impatiently) to be delivered. It was a labor of love (heh), we must say, and we hope you dig it as much as we do.

In our latest episode of “Wombmates,” SNOOKBaby and JWOWWBaby get taken on involuntary elliptical machine rides, and commiserate over the fact that their moms have become so health-conscious. What ever happened to late-night pizza runs and sleeping ’til 4pm?

Okay, look: if this new featurette that highlights the main conflict of “If I Stay,” whether Chloe Grace Moretz should stay in a coma/let herself die, or if she wants to live is any indication of how the movie will play out, I AM GOING TO BE A PUDDLE OF TEARS BEFORE THE OPENING CREDITS ROLL.

That is all.

The movie is based on the hit YA novel by Gayle Forman, and hits theaters on August 22 and oh god the crying.
