50 Cent Drops Bombshell: JAY-Z’s Roc Nation Tried to Block His Super Bowl Spot—Eminem Stepped Up

50 Cent

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.

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

R3b3l I

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution.  “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

Mr Pigeons

While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.

“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.

The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
