50 Cent Relentlessly Roasts Rick Ross for Opening for Bow Wow on Millennium Tour
50 Cent is at it again, poking fun at his longtime rival Rick Ross in his usual humorous way. This week, he took to Instagram to mock Ross for being a “special guest” on Bow Wow’s Millennium Tour, and he didn’t hold back. 50 Cent made it clear he finds Ross opening for Bow Wow pretty funny, saying, “People get quiet when they have to open for Bow Wow. He’s not a surprise guest; he can’t sell a ticket. LOL.” The Millennium Tour features popular artists from the early 2000s, like Plies, Boosie Badazz, the Ying Yang Twins, and Ross.
However, 50 Cent sees this gig as a step down for someone like Ross, who often portrays himself as a big player in the industry. He even shared a screenshot from an article discussing his remarks about Ross, continuing to tease him in his caption: “So, nobody noticed this guy is opening for Bow Wow for $30,000 a show, trying to sell wings and car show tickets. I didn’t notice either.” Fans loved it, with one commenter pointing out, “50 forgets he’s talking to regular people, $30,000 a night sounds like a dream.” Another fan added, “This beef is way too rich for us right now!”
While Ross hasn’t responded publicly yet, their back-and-forth has been going on for years, with their feud starting in the late 2000s. They’ve exchanged insults through music and on social media, and neither seems ready to back down. Whether you view 50 Cent as a funny guy or a troublemaker, he knows how to keep people amused online. And as long as Ross continues to find work in unexpected places, you can be sure 50 will be there to remind everyone about it. Stay tuned because this rivalry between 50 Cent and Rick Ross is far from finished.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood
Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.
“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.
Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.
“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.

Girlhood finds summer warmth and quiet freedom on “Lemon Aid”
“Lemon Aid“ is a warm indie-pop ballad from Girlhood that finds comfort in the ordinary and weaves in a sense of release. This song is about surrendering to the moment, finding space to breathe, and letting a little lightness back in. This reflective core is surprising, given the warm summer-night feel of the track, hinting at a moment of emotional rebalancing.
Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes has a tender personality and fronts the slow-burning “Lemon Aid.” The production supports that softness, keeping the song’s gentle mood and intimate direction front and center. Beneath the comfort is a thoughtful examination of pressure, transition, and the need to pause.
The song’s link to the streets of Stroud offers yet another layer of art to the work. Familiar places can mean something when life feels uncertain, and the emotional scene involves storefronts, parks, cafes, and leafy, winding streets. “Lemon Aid“ searches for beauty in everyday places and rituals, finding still moments that mean something without getting carried away.
The track is the first release of Girlhood’s forthcoming album, “This Will Make Sense In The End,” a more reflective chapter with hope at its heart. “Lemon Aid” is about softness, conjuring a space where dancing, wandering, and just existing can feel like a cure. It’s an unleashing of small observations and soft emotional movement and a clear indication of the thoughtful direction that Girlhood is heading next.
