As of last week, Jay Z and 50 Cent were at odds with each other… at least from 50’s perspective that is.

Throw in Beanie Sigel’s claim that his former mentor was aiming to air both him and his newfound confidant out and the battle of NYs biggest rap stars seemed destined for a pay per view battle (the night of Mayweather Pacquiao would be dope! Just let them be the undercard right?)

According to sixshot dot com, Jay Z however, has no plans on embarking in a showdown with the G Unit head honcho. In fact, he wants the Jamaica Queens native to effectively join him onstage.

Sources close to BET are reporting that Jay Z did in fact reach out to 50 Cent in an effort to have him record a verse on the “Empire State of Mind” remix with him and Nas.

If fif does choose to contribute to the track, the same source all but confirmed the session would be documented.

We’ll see… we all know dude knows how to hold a grudge.

After months of enduring a very public breakup, rapper Nas and estranged wife Kelis Rogers were seen in public canoodling and all was thought to have been forgiven… until now.

Various sources are reporting that the Rocafella rapper filed suit yesterday in an effort to block Kelis’ request for spousal payments in the amount of $72,728 per month.

The previous amount had been set at $44,000 with an additional $45,000, the latter ,a one time payment that would have covered expenses related to court fees as well as a forensic accountant for Rogers.

Additionally, Rogers is seeking $29,522 in back child support and other fees that would inevitably weigh the rapper down, as the IRS recently filed a lien against him in October.

Documents related to suggest he Queensbridge native owes the government upwards of $2,584,206.31in back taxes from 2006-2007.

The way the world works now, not only do you not have to be in the same city to cut a track, but you can conduct an award worthy video the same way. Nas enlisted video vet  Chris Robinson to do the deed, which appears to cover some tropical territory, New York and Compton, effectively bridging the dynamics to toast all hustlers, ballers, gangsters and so on.
