    Chris Brown Brings Out 50 Cent in Manchester After Jail Release: ‘From the Cage to the Stage’

    Breezy surprises fans with rap icon during emotional return to UK tour

    Chris Brown made a powerful statement during his first Manchester show on June 15, just two days after his release from jail — and he didn’t come alone. As a surprise for the packed crowd, Brown brought out rap legend 50 Cent, his “I’m the Man” collaborator, for a high-energy guest appearance.

    “This my brother,” Brown said mid-show. “He flew all the way out here to celebrate his birthday… he says he’s going to turn the fuck up.” Moments later, 50 Cent stormed the stage, launching into his classic Get Rich or Die Tryin’ opener, “What Up Gangsta?”

    The show marked Brown’s return to the city where he was arrested last month and held on charges of grievous bodily harm with intent stemming from a 2023 incident in a London nightclub. He was only granted bail on June 13, after posting $7 million, and is required to remain in the UK and surrender his passport — though he’s permitted to travel for tour dates.

    In a heartfelt moment, Brown thanked the prison staff for their kindness and later posted on Instagram: “FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!!”

    50 Cent, a vocal supporter throughout the ordeal, wrote: “CB out he made bond… I think he is the best overall artist out. I watched his whole run!”

    Brown is set to perform again in Manchester tonight, continuing his Breezy Bowl Tour under tight legal restrictions.

    50 Cent Defends Tyler Perry Against Sexual Assault Allegations

    Fif’ backs media mogul amid $260M lawsuit filed by former actor

    50 Cent has come to the defense of longtime friend Tyler Perry after the filmmaker was hit with a $260 million lawsuit alleging sexual assault and harassment.

    The suit was filed by actor Derek Dixon, who claims Perry subjected him to ongoing harassment and professional retaliation after rejecting the director’s alleged advances. Dixon worked on several of Perry’s TV productions and now accuses the media mogul of escalating misconduct.

    Perry has strongly denied the accusations through his legal team, calling the case a “scam” and a “shakedown attempt.” His attorney said, “This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.”

    In response, 50 Cent took to Instagram to show his unwavering support. “Did that b!tch just say what I think he said? Nah, we ain’t jacking this shit gang! No way,” he wrote.

    He later added in a joking post featuring Katt Williams: “Tyler that case bullshit don’t worry about that… he [Williams] gonna have a field day with this.”

    Despite his humor, 50 made his loyalty clear: “Hey I think anyone who talks bad about Tyler Perry should die… you should die now!”

    50 Cent Hints at Role in Upcoming Street Fighter Movie Reboot

    Rap icon teases Balrog casting as film prepares to relaunch classic video game franchise

    50 Cent may be stepping back into the ring — but this time, it’s virtual. The rap mogul and entertainment powerhouse has all but confirmed that he will appear in the upcoming Street Fighter movie reboot, potentially playing the heavy-hitting boxer Balrog.

    In a post to Instagram, 50 shared a screenshot of a Nexus Point News report claiming he’s been tapped for the role. His caption? “No Days off, Let’s work all roads lead to Shreveport,” a cryptic but confident message seemingly confirming his involvement in the film, which is reportedly set to shoot in Louisiana.

    While the studio behind the reboot has yet to make an official cast announcement, the new Street Fighter adaptation is said to feature a star-studded lineup including Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and WWE’s Roman Reigns.

    If confirmed, this would mark 50 Cent’s biggest on-screen role in years. He most recently appeared in The Expendables 4 and the crime thriller Boneyard, but is best known for earlier hits like Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Southpaw, and Escape Plan.

    In addition to acting, 50 is expanding his entertainment empire with the UK launch of his 50 Cent Action channel on Roku, which features original programming and titles from Lionsgate’s massive catalog — including his own Power series universe.

    As Street Fighter fans await more casting news, one thing’s certain: if 50 is indeed playing Balrog, expect fireworks — and fists.

  • 50 Cent Slams NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Over Tax Plan: “Whose Friend Is This?”

    50 Cent Slams NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Over Tax Plan: “Whose Friend Is This?”

    50 reignites political controversy with swipe at Mamdani and shot at Eric Adams

    50 Cent has made it clear that he’s no fan of Zohran Mamdani — the progressive Democratic candidate who’s poised to become New York City’s next mayor.

    Taking to Instagram, the Queens-born rapper reacted to a viral clip from The Breakfast Club where Mamdani detailed his ambitious tax proposal, which includes a 2% increase for New Yorkers earning over $1 million annually and a corporate tax hike to match New Jersey’s rate of 11.5%.

    In the clip, Mamdani even name-checks 50 Cent, saying:
    “I know 50 Cent is listening. He’s not going to be very happy about this… but this is about $20,000 a year.”

    50 wasted no time firing back, posting:
    “Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan, no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!”

    This isn’t the first time 50 has taken aim at New York politics. He’s previously criticized current mayor Eric Adams — now running as an independent — over a proposed initiative to distribute prepaid debit cards to migrants, writing:
    “WTF Mayor Adams call my phone. I don’t understand how this works… maybe TRUMP is the answer.”

    Though 50 once publicly backed Donald Trump for his tax policies, he later walked back the endorsement amid backlash. Still, his latest posts show he’s once again aligning himself with fiscally conservative views — and isn’t shy about voicing his opposition to policies that could hit high earners like himself.

    With Mamdani’s campaign gaining momentum and Adams marred by scandal, 50 Cent’s political outbursts are likely to stir debate as New York’s mayoral race heats up.

    50 Cent says he’ll pay for Mamdani to leave NYC as he rants over mayoral frontrunner’s proposals

    Fif has made it clear he’s not a fan of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic frontrunner in New York’s upcoming mayoral election — and he’s not holding back.

    The rapper and business mogul took to Instagram to react to a clip from The Breakfast Club in which Mamdani outlined his ambitious economic reform plan, including a 2% tax increase for New Yorkers earning over $1 million annually and a corporate tax hike to match New Jersey’s 11.5% rate.

    “Where did he come from? Whose friend is this?” 50 wrote. “I’m not feeling this plan, no. I will give him $258,750 and a first-class one-way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!”

    Mamdani, anticipating backlash, even name-checked the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ artist in the interview, saying:
    “I know 50 Cent is listening… he tends to not like this tax policy, but this is about $20,000 a year.”

    This isn’t 50’s first political outburst. He has previously criticized current Mayor Eric Adams, especially over his controversial proposal to distribute pre-paid debit cards to migrants, writing:
    “WTF mayor Adams call my phone… maybe TRUMP is the answer.”

    Although 50 once endorsed Donald Trump for economic reasons, he later walked back his support following public backlash. Still, his frustration with both local and national Democratic policies remains a recurring theme in his social media commentary.

    With New York’s mayoral race heating up, 50 Cent’s voice adds fuel to the growing debate over taxation, public spending, and the future of the city’s leadership.

    50 Cent Slams NYC Mayoral Candidate Over “Defund the Police” Stance and Wealth Tax Plan

    50 warns New York could become “Gotham City” under Zohran Mamdani’s proposals

    50 Cent is speaking out against Democratic mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, strongly criticizing the candidate’s support for police budget cuts and increased taxes on the wealthy.

    Taking to Instagram, the Queens rapper and mogul dismissed Mamdani’s “defund the police” platform as dangerous, despite having had his own run-ins with law enforcement in New York City.
    “New York turns into Gotham City if you defund the police,” he wrote. “Trust me on this one, that’s not a good idea buddy.”

    He followed up with a second post featuring an AI-generated image of a dystopian New York, captioned:
    “Escape from New York coming if you’re not careful.”

    50 Cent also took issue with Mamdani’s proposed tax hike for high-income residents, including a 2% increase for those earning over $1 million annually, as well as a plan to raise $10 billion through corporate taxes. Reacting to a clip of Mamdani explaining the policy on The Breakfast Club, 50 posted:
    “Where did he come from whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!”

    Mamdani, aware of 50’s disapproval, even name-checked the rapper during the interview, saying:
    “I know 50 Cent is listening… but this is about $20,000 a year.”

    The rapper’s latest political commentary adds fuel to the ongoing debate around public safety and wealth redistribution in New York City, especially as the 2025 mayoral race heats up.

  • Chris Brown Freed from UK Jail, Backed by Justin Bieber and 50 Cent

    Chris Brown Freed from UK Jail, Backed by Justin Bieber and 50 Cent

    Judge grants release after $7M bail as singer awaits trial

    Chris Brown has been released from jail in the UK following a week in custody, with music stars Justin Bieber and 50 Cent showing public support. Brown was arrested in Manchester and charged with grievous bodily harm with intent over a 2023 nightclub incident involving producer Abe Diaw.

    Initially denied bail, the R&B singer was remanded until June 13, just days before his Breezy Bowl tour kicks off in the same city. However, a judge reversed the decision, setting Brown free after he posted nearly $7 million in bail. His release comes with strict conditions: he must reside in the UK until trial, surrender his passport, and comply with travel restrictions — although he’s allowed to tour internationally.

    Following his release, Brown shared an Instagram photo from the airport. Justin Bieber commented, “Welcome home,” while 50 Cent posted, “CB out, he made bond… I think he is the best overall artist out.”

    Prosecutors allege Brown struck Diaw with a tequila bottle and stomped on him, leaving lasting injuries. CCTV footage of the incident is part of the case. Brown has denied the allegations, while a civil lawsuit filed by Diaw remains ongoing.
