As a gamer putting my fingers to the keys, let me tell ya, I ain’t got nowhere near 50 Cent’s bankroll. With over 35 million albums sold and a tour raking in over $100 mill, plus some savvy investments and successful TV production under his belt, it’s clear he’s rolling in the dough. In a recent chat with Us Weekly, he straight-up admitted to being “very, very rich.” But when asked if he’s reached billionaire status yet, ol’ 50 Cent said he ain’t got no rush for that.
Over the Independence Day weekend, I found myself rubbing shoulders with A-listers at Michael Rubin’s yearly bash in The Hamptons – an event not to be missed for any gaming enthusiast like me. Among the star-studded crowd was Drake, fresh from his intense rap rivalry with Kendrick Lamar.

Alright, let’s delve back into the world of iconic musical collaborations again. I’ve been reading up on supergroups that emerged in the swinging ’70s, giving a detailed analysis of groups like Cream and their contemporaries from the groovy ’60s.

It’s fair to assume that many people didn’t know Rachael “Raygun” Gunn before the Olympics started, but that changed recently. Gunn, an Australian B-girl, professor, and breakdancer who competed in the Olympics, has been criticized for her performance. This was mostly due to her using some extremely unconventional dance moves that seemed to lack complexity, leaving many puzzled.
The latest Nine Inch Nails album resembling a typical release was “Bad Witch” in 2018. However, it’s important to note that nothing about NIN is ever conventional. In 2020, they put out two LPs, but these were special releases made during the pandemic for fans.
