50 Cent Talks With Jimmy Iovine, Ends Beef

50 Cent’s tweets about dissension between him, Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine, and Aftermath’s Dr. Dre have had a positive effect on at least one of those relationships. The G-Unit leader recently returned to Twitter to reveal that he and Jimmy had a conversation and have squashed their beef.

“Jimmy’s not mad at me any more we kicked it,” tweeted Fif on Tuesday (February 15). “I just have to talk to Dre now.”

Just the day before, the G-Unit leader had taken to the social media website and said that his new headphone line had caused tension between him, Iovine and Dre and even hinted at releasing a verse dissing the two, shocking information for fans because of his one-time close friendship with the West Coast producer.

“Jimmy Iovine and Dre mad at me cause I’m doing sleek by 50,” wrote Fif on Monday.

“I’m a little hurt Jimmy and Dre feel like that but f*ck it. I’m focused I got a surprise for everybody this go round. Would you faint if I told you I just wrote a verse about Jimmy and Dre. Oh my god this is hard. This sh*t gonna kill.”

Rumors of problems between Dre and Fif have been popping up online for several months and seemed to have some credence after the New York MC took his label over to EMI

Baby Responds to Jay Z's "Baby Money" Line From H.A.M

It seems like the Jay-Z vs. Cash Money/Young Money beef may be gaining some actual traction as Bryan “Birdman” Williams publicly responded via Twitter to Jay-Z’s supposed jab at the New Orleans label and crew.

"We gonna keep spending 'baby money' ...billionaire minds stay tuned," tweeted Birdman on February 8 on his @BIRDMAN5STAR Twitter page. The tweet is thought to be in direct response to Jay-Z’s line from him and collaborator Kanye West’s newest single “H.A.M.” where the Brooklyn rapper spits the line, “Really, you got baby money.” Jay-Z never confirmed nor denied that the line was intended to be a barb towards Lil Wayne and his compatriots.

Given the past history of Jay-Z and Lil Wayne and their past music collaborations, the allegations that a war between Roc Nation and the Young Money/Cash Money stable don’t immediately add up. Jay actually attempted to sign Weezy in the past and the pair has worked on a few notable tracks over the years.

If which of the artists made the most money is the true center of the discussion, Jay-Z clearly earned more than Birdman and Wayne in 2010 while making the Forbes list and earning $63 million while his semi-retired superstar wife Beyonce raked in a whopping $87 million. Lil Wayne made the list as well with reported earnings of $20 million – no small potatoes but not nearly enough to back up Birdman’s former claim that his protégé has more cash than Jigga.
