50 Cent takes major dig at Jay-Z and Beyonce as he makes bombshell Grammy and Super Bowl allegations
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 50 Cent has launched bombshell accusations against Jay-Z and Beyonce - the entertainment industry's ultimate power couple.
In a profile by The Hollywood Reporter, the 'In Da Club' rapper claimed that Jay-Z tried to bar him from performing at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and further alleged that Beyonce's numerous Grammy wins are the result of an "inside job."
50 Cent says Eminem's ultimatum forced Jay-Z's Roc Nation to include him in Super Bowl lineup
The rapper, born Curtis James Jackson III, also asserted that Jay-Z's Roc Nation aimed to transform the Super Bowl lineup into 'Block Nation' by excluding him from sharing the stage with icons like Dr Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.

50 Cent claimed it was Eminem who turned renegade, threatening to withdraw from the performance if he was not included.
"Eminem wouldn’t do it without me," 50 Cent revealed, describing how Em's ultimatum forced Roc Nation's hand.
"That’s how I ended up on the show because he was not coming if I didn’t do it. When that happens, you go, 'Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.' But if it was up to them, they would not have me there. I’m the surprise. I’m not on the bill at all. But they couldn’t get Em to do it without me," reported The Hollywood Reporter.
50 Cent claims Beyonce's Grammy wins are rigged
Although 50 Cent didn't explicitly mention Jay-Z by name, the implication is crystal clear, especially considering Jay-Z's influential position at Roc Nation and his significant role in Super Bowl programming.
However, the 'You Don’t Know' singer didn't stop there, 50 Cent also took a swipe at Beyonce, claiming that her numerous Grammy wins over the years have "ZERO VALUE" as they are the result of an "inside job."
He criticized the Grammy Awards, stating, "I don’t know who’s voting in that s**t. It’s crazy. Whoever they are, they’re off at Beyonce’s house because she has 30 of them."
50 Cent and Jay-Z's past feud
This controversy is the latest episode in a long-standing feud between the two rap titans, a rivalry that dates back to 50 Cent's notorious 1999 track 'How to Rob,' which took lyrical shots at Jay-Z and several other hip-hop stars.
Despite a past collaboration on 50 Cent's 'I Get Money (Remix)' — which also featured Diddy — 50 insisted that their partnership was purely business. Yet, if his current allegations hold water, it seems that the bad blood between him and Jay-Z is far from over.
