50 Cent Drops Bombshell: JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Tried to Block His Super Bowl Spot—Eminem Stepped Up
50 Cent has claimed that JAY-Z’s Roc Nation tried to exclude him from the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show. In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper recounted how Eminem’s insistence on his inclusion was the only reason he made it onto the iconic stage.
“They wanted to leave me out of it,” 50 Cent stated. “Roc Nation didn’t want me there. But Eminem wouldn’t perform if I wasn’t included. That’s how I ended up on the show.” 50 Cent emphasized that Eminem’s commitment to the performance was a game-changer, stating, “You just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.”
Despite the drama, 50 Cent has expressed his gratitude to Eminem, who remains a steadfast ally and collaborator. “50 is like a brother to me,” Eminem said, affirming their close bond. “50 has proven again and again that there’s really nothing he can’t do, and nobody gets in the way of him getting it done.”
Beyond the Super Bowl, 50 Cent is teaming up with Eminem on a new project—producing a series based on Eminem’s film 8 Mile. For more on 50 Cent’s latest ventures and thoughts on the ongoing Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud, stay tuned to Honk Magazine.

Alias Wayne celebrates the beauty of genuine affection on latest release “Tribute”
Alias Wayne brings the romantic message to the fore with “Tribute,” a song written to celebrate someone whose qualities deserve recognition and appreciation. The whole release is really about love and wanting the world to know how special someone is to you. It’s a simple yet significant idea, especially since the song takes an appreciation-based approach to romance rather than focusing on the thrill of attraction.
As the track progresses, the addition of shakers and hand drum adds yet another layer of rhythmic character, giving the arrangement a lively quality. What I really like is how these elements help the song move forward without detracting from its romantic message.
The lyric direction also keeps affection at the center, expressing admiration for someone’s qualities and a desire to get closer through a personal invitation to share a dance. It gives the song a warm, accessible feel. “Tribute” is a release that celebrates someone special. Alias Wayne blends a message of love with guitar, percussion, and rhythmic movement. It’s a nice treat for fans of romantic songs with a personal touch.

Séhkou unveils a beautiful connection between faith and intimacy on latest release “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know)”
Romance meets spiritual expression in Séhkou’s new single, “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know),” featuring Angélica Allen. The release provides a fresh take on attraction and intimacy. The song blends hip-hop with soul and R&B influences, celebrating a bond between two people who genuinely choose and cherish each other. Rather than the indecision of chasing after someone who keeps their distance, it’s about mutual affection, desire, and the reassurance of being wanted back.
I particularly appreciate the solemn flute that flows throughout the track. This gives the arrangement an interesting musical character and strengthens the connection between the romantic and spiritual themes. The rap rhythm is also noteworthy, bringing a different feel to the track, while keeping the lyrical focus front and center.
Allen’s spoken-scripture intro and outro provide an important framework for the record, connecting its expressions of intimacy to a sense of reverence. Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know) has something meaningful to offer listeners who appreciate music that goes beyond surface attraction to explore love. Séhkou blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, and spiritual expression thoughtfully.
