Claressa Shields has threatened legal action against 50 Cent after he accused her online of cheating on rapper Papoose. Shields responded on Instagram by sharing an AI-generated explanation about defamation lawsuits and warning that 50 Cent could be sued for “lying” about her. The accusations came after 50 Cent posted an AI-edited image of Shields and Papoose and claimed she had been involved with rapper Maserati Bud, though no evidence was provided. Despite the online feud, Shields and Papoose appear to still be in a strong relationship.

T.I.’s ongoing feud with 50 Cent has escalated after T.I.’s 24-year-old son Domani released an Instagram diss track titled “Ms. Jackson,” which samples OutKast’s 2000 hit of the same name. In the song, Domani addresses 50 Cent’s late mother, Sabrina Jackson, who died in a fire when 50 was eight, questioning whether she would be proud of him and issuing direct threats toward the rapper. He also calls 50 a “firebug,” referencing past allegations surrounding a house fire involving 50’s ex-girlfriend and their son. The renewed tension stems from T.I.’s claim that 50 backed out of a planned VERZUZ battle meant to celebrate their catalogs, prompting 50 to respond with memes targeting T.I.’s wife Tiny Harris and their son King, along with days of online exchanges and diss tracks. Although 50 has since deleted the posts about the Harris family, Domani’s track may reignite the conflict.#TI #50cent #disstrack #domani

Join Music IV Breakfast hosts Octavia March and Relle Roulette as they break down J. Cole’s long-anticipated album The Fall Off, a project nearly a decade in the making that Cole began conceptualizing around 2016 and teasing publicly since 2018. The album is deeply personal, from its cover art—shot in the exact room and chair where he made his first beats at 15—to its double-disc structure, with “Disc 29” reflecting his hometown mindset at that age and “Disc 39” capturing his perspective at 39. The intro samples mathematician Andrew Wiles, symbolizing years of quiet dedication, while tracks like “The Fall-Off Is Inevitable” were carefully crafted over long, focused sessions. The project features uncredited appearances from artists like Future, Tems, and Erykah Badu, production from heavyweights including The Alchemist and Boi-1da, and callbacks to his earliest work, including his 2007 mixtape The Come Up. Hidden gems throughout—such as “False Prophets,” recorded for this album years ago, and references to “The Storm,” the first song he ever wrote—bring Cole’s journey full circle.
