50 Cent Posts Potential Pop Smoke Album Covers, Lets Fans Choose
50 Cent is on the hunt to find a new cover for Pop Smoke’s debut album and he is welcoming artwork done by fans.
On Tuesday (June 30), Fif posted countless potential covers for Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, which is set to drop this Friday (July 3). 50 asked fans to rank the redesigned images from one to 10 to help him decide which cover is the best.
The G-Unit Records founder, who announced months before the impending release that he would be executive producing that fallen rapper’s LP, has decided to take matters into his own hands after fashion designer Virgil Abloh’s original cover received backlash.
In a post uploaded to Instagram earlier this week, the “Candy Shop” rapper called for the founder of the Off-White brand to redo the album cover.
“Hey Virgil, we need new album art,” Fif wrote in an IG caption. “They ain’t going for this bullshit. Love ya work, let’s get to it. Steven, I told you this shit was eww let get it right!.”
50 Cent’s call for fans to choose a remade image for Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon comes after the Abloh-designed album cover was revealed on Monday (June 29). The image features the Brooklyn native surrounded by edited barbed wire and metal roses, which fans of Pop criticized intensely via social media. Shortly after the backlash began to overtake Twitter and Instagram, it wasn’t long before Steven Victor, the head of Pop’s label Victor Victor Worldwide, told fans the artwork would be replaced before the LP’s official release.
There has yet to be a formal announcement about an official replacement.

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?
Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.
The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.
In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.
This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.
In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.

Robert Downey Jr. Unveils Doctor Doom, and Jonathan Majors’ Fallout Sparks Viral Frenzy!
At San Diego Comic-Con on July 27, Robert Downey Jr. stunned fans with his unexpected return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, revealing himself as Doctor Doom in the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday.” The excitement didn’t stop there, as Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige also teased a follow-up film, “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
The reveal set social media ablaze, with MCU fans ecstatic to see RDJ back in action. However, the celebration was tinged with controversy as Jonathan Majors—who was slated to play Kang in the now-controversial “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty”—has been trending on X. Majors’ recent conviction for assault and subsequent departure from Marvel has led fans to reflect on his past statements about wanting to share the screen with Downey.
In a 2023 interview with Lifehacker Australia, Majors expressed his admiration for RDJ, saying, “I would love to be across from him on screen… His portrayal of Iron Man is so fascinating.” As the dust settles on Downey’s big reveal, fans can’t help but wonder about Majors’ reaction and what could have been.
