[Jun 19, 2005] The G-Unit family is about to grow by four men: the members of Mobb Deep and M.O.P. Though their record deals haven't been inked yet, it looks like the only thing holding them up are business technicalities. 50 Cent may sign Mobb Deep, MOP to G-Unit Records. 50 says he's "very close" to signing the two hip-hop acts.

A Representative for 50 Cent has announced the platinum-selling rapper will not be attending the Live 8 Concert slated to take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, due to a scheduling conflict.

Live 8 is the follow-up to 1985’s massive concert, Live Aid and organizers have timed the event to coincide with the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland.

According to 50’s publicist Yvette Gayle, the rapper is in Toronto, Canada shooting his semi-autobiographical film "Get Rich or Die Tryin.’"

50 Cent will attempt to annihilate the competition again with the re-release his multi-platinum opus, The Massacre. The album, which doesn’t have a release date, will offer a music video for each song. Additionally, it will include a number of new songs. Rumors suggest these additions may include recently leaked songs with Mobb Deep and M.O.P., who – despite speculation - have yet to officially sign to G-Unit.

SOHH.com has learned that Jimmy Henchmen and Chris Lighty recently met to settle 50 Cent's lawsuit against Czar Entertainment Inc. and broker peace between The Game and 50.

In the suit, 50 charges that he agreed to a free interview with Czar Entertainment Inc. for a documentary about Brooklyn thug Kelvin Martin, known formerly as the "real" 50 Cent. According to the suit, Czar agreed to make a donation to the Martin family or the G-Unit foundation in exchange for the interview. The suit claims that Czar never made the donation and that the interview wasn't used in Infamous Times -Volume 1:The Original 50 Cent DVD. On the other hand, the Martin family has confirmed that Henchmen did indeed make the promised donations.

Ain’t no love in the heart of the city. At least when The Game comes to town.

The West coaster lashed out against G-Unit members yesterday (June 5) during Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert — nearly overshadowing a surprise appearance by “the god MC” Jay-Z — in Game’s first New York performance since 50 Cent booted him from his camp over allegations of disloyalty and arguments regarding songwriting credits.

“G-g-g-g-u-not!!!!” The Game sneered throughout his set, as he appeared at Giants Stadium, which is actually in New Jersey, decked out in a matching Mets fitted cap and baseball jersey.

Eminem and Showtime Networks have locked horns in court, as the pay network is suing the multi-platinum rapper. The network is suing Shady Touring and Eminem himself, claiming they negotiated with the rapper for two years to try to set up a live concert on one of Showtime’s pay channels. The network claims that Em’s inability to have a firm release date and his tour schedule prevented negotiations from taking place.

A lawsuit filed by rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson may put the brakes on an edition of The Infamous Times, a popular biographical DVD series that explores the seedier side of street life.

In a lawsuit filed yesterday (May 31), Jackson alleges that three video production companies used footage from a free interview he conducted with Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond's Czar Entertainment.

"This lawsuit has no merit," Rosemond told AllHipHop.com. "50 Cent agreed to do the interview and he knew this DVD was coming."
