The first time I ever flew to New York was about six years ago, to interview an artist whose single "In Da Club" had just dropped.
Six years on, 50 Cent is still going hard. He's arguably the most internationally successful hip-hop artist in the game — 50 has elevated himself beyond the world of rap into movies, philanthropy, clothing and above all, business! But with all the executive swagger that 50 has, one thing he never steps away from is beef.
I doubt anyone — any artist, anyway — in music has ever had as much rivalry as 50 Cent, and that's just with other recording artists! From the LOX, Fat Joe, Nas, Irv Gotti, DJ Khaled, Ja Rule, Kanye West, T.I., Camron, Diddy, Game, Cassidy, Young Buck, R. Kelly (50 dissed him at SummerJam), Big Pun, Jay-Z ... from his early record "How to Rob," 50 has never been afraid to go at anyone, whether jokingly or seriously. Even Oprah wasn't safe!

Tokio Hotel Fans Wage Online War With Jonas Brothers Supporters

Is it possible that MTV has launched an all-out war between crazed fans of the Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel?
When our sister blog Buzzworthy published an entry seemingly comparing JB fanatics with TH devotees, the site's dear readers almost killed each other (in the blog sense, that is). The original Buzzworthy post was actually talking about the official addition of the word "fanboy" to the Merriam-Webster dictionary and hinted that JB and TH fans may be the ones to thank.
But then things got out of hand ... really out of hand. Karleigh and Katie Santry, who run JonasBrothersFan.com, even say that angry Tokio Hotel fans started posting inappropriate material on their forums, including pornography and violent photos. "Morbid stuff," as the girls described it.
The Jonas site has removed all the nasty images, and Buzzworthy even tried to reconcile the fighting fans. After much trash-talk, it looks like a peace may have been forged. Come on, gang. We're all in this together. Can't we all idolize in peace?
