Everyone’s been wondering about the brewing 50 Cent vs
Kanye West feud after 50 accepted a challenge on BET’s “106
& Park” to debate with West on who’s new album will sell
better — the two will go head to head in stores when they both drop on
September 11. When Challenged, 50 replied, “Kanye,
he’s not going to want to show up.” During the MTV VMA nomination
announcements Tuesday (Aug 7), West made 50‘s prediction
come true, declining the challenge and calling it “the stupidest
thing” … “What am I going to debate about?” he said. “I’m
going to go in the studio and make music.” Kanye then took
the higher road by adding, “With 50‘s album dropping and my album
dropping on the same day, everybody wins because you get a lot of good music at
the same time.”
Louisiana native Terrance Stewart, also known as DJ Bay Bay, was
arrested Monday (Aug 6) and charged with rape and witness intimidation, according
to a report in Louisiana newspaper The Shreveport Times. Stewart was the
inspiration behind southern rapper Hurricane Chris‘ hit A
Bay Bay, which is a nod to the DJ’s influence on Chris. According
to Shreveport police, an unidentified woman was found drunk and unconscious on
Thursday night at the club where Stewart was spinning; police believe the woman
was raped by Stewart during the party.
Stewart is currently in jail on a $150,000 bond; his lawyer, Eric Johnson,
issued a statement saying: “Mr. Stewart is innocent of these charges and
intends to vigorously defend himself against them…We are very confident that
after the case is tried by a judge or jury that Mr. Stewart will be
exonerated.” Police are also searching for another DJ, Ron Johnson,
who they believe was also involved in the incident.
