Meek Mill Talks Possibility Of Rick Ross & 50 Cent Ending Beef

Meek Mill Talks Possibility Of Rick Ross & 50 Cent Ending Beef Meek Mill says that "if I could, I would" put an end to the beef between 50 Cent and Rick Ross. 50 Cent and Rick Ross have had a storied beef that's gone on for years, most recently flaring up at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards after Fif's crew had an altercation with Maybach Music Group's Gunplay. During an interview with Shade 45's "Sway in the Morning," Meek Mill said that he would put an end to the problems between Fif and his MMG boss, stating that he's known the G-Unit general longer than he has Ross and that he doesn't want to end up in the middle of their issues. "What they got goin' on, they grown men. It's been going on for a long time. If I could, I would," he said. "I knew 50 before I ever even signed with Ross. When I signed with Ross, I couldn't just act like I don't like 50 at all. That would be fake of me. If I could, I would. I don't like seeing nobody I know go through anything. I don't want to be in the middle one day and gotta choose sides or anything like that." The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper said that if Ross and 50 encountered each other in person and he was present, he would try to mend fences between them. "I had plans on doing that. If I ever see them around each other, if I'm around, there ain't gonna be no fighting or nothing like that," he said. Most recently, 50 Cent reportedly wore Gunplay's MMG chain in the video for "Major Distribution." When HipHopDX asked Gunplay for his thoughts on the clip, he replied, "No comment."

KIM KARDASHIAN DOES LAGOS

Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos: the scene of so many expensive misdemeanours in the past, did its best not to disappoint. Kim Kardashian was billed to "co-host" an event with R'n'B crooner Darey Art-Alade in honour of "Love..Like a Movie". In other words, it was a "Vals" thing. Lagos being familiar to the metallurgy of snobbery, this involved platinum ticket holders being invited to an exclusive pre-dinner event with her K-ness. Pseudo-ogas lower down the corporate food chain only got to see the show.
I was just over 1,000 miles away from the action in Freetown, watching my Twitter timeline cascade with commentary as the evening unfolded. Tweets purred with pleasure at the acrobatics segment, and at the godly qualities of Waje's voice. There was a sense that in production values and packaging, Lagos had outblinged itself.
And then Ms Kardashian appeared, said, "Hey Naija" and vamoosed. The rumour was that she'd been paid 500,000 Benjamins for the honour of mixing with the petro-class. She arrived on Saturday evening (on Air France), and left within 24 hours (someone Instagrammed her back at MMIA). Prole class tickets were apparently N100,000 ($640), although quite a few got in gratis on the guest list.
The Lagos elite blows money at puffery, while most of Nigeria suffers. It's the same as it ever was. I recall Carlos Moore railing against the Gowon era on his trip to Nigeria a couple of years ago – how Lagosians were partying while bodies were lying unburied in the street. Gowon was famous at the time for saying that the problem in Nigeria was not money, but how to spend it.
Reflecting a little on the unfolding disappointment in Lagos, I couldn't help but think that the narrow slice of KK the audience were granted reflects a cargo cult/import economy/colo-mentality, that dresses its shame in dandified arrogance. Last year, Hugh Masekela played the Motor Boat club. I was lucky to be there (I think I paid 15,000 naira for the privilege). People chatted noisily throughout. The great jazzman could hardly hide his disgust.
There's something Dubai-esque about the children of the Islands. Pampered lives told in British public school brogues. Bubbles of air-conditioned comfort, which we might think of these days as "Lekki blindness". Fela is long since dead, but his words rework themselves in the present with ease.
As the disgruntled tweets flowed out on my timeline, I thought of Special K, comfy in her jimjams, the plane rising gradually above the Atlantic, safe from all Lagos harm, smiling to herself that she'd actually 419'd the 419ers. And I went to bed with one final thought: oil turns all who touch it completely insane

HOW GOLDIE TARGETED FAME

Big Brother Africa is huge! It can do wonders for anyone's career. Goldie realised this and used it to propel herself to her dreams. To be honest, before BBA, i had never heard of her. But after? Prezzo's friend really new what she wanted out of BBA and she took it!

Think about it, have you heard of anything from the rest of the BBA fraternity? Barbs who had that unadulterated venom for Prezzo is back to being irrelevant. The way she spoke and had alot to say about who she is and what it is that she does and will do even going as far as speaking denigratingly about Goldie's affection for Prezzo but she came out on top!
Goldie released a new track "Skibobo" just about a month ago and it already has over 700,000 hits on Youtube! Where is the worldly Barbs and Zainab? Yet the seemingly naive Goldie has gone further! Why is that? It's because Goldie was smarter. She was keener. Her acumen told her how to use the exposure she received from BBA.

And i dare say that save for her and Gaetano, no one has come close to milking BBA for all it's worth! Gaetano left with the girl and went on to build a successful career for himself whether it was behind a microphone or TV camera. Goldie was just that girl! I wish her life wasn't cut short so we could see how a real celebrity takes advantage of such opportunities!
