50 Cent Drops New ‘Smoke’ Video Feat. Trey Songz


Making sure he doesn’t lose the momentum he’s been building in anticipation of his new album, 50 Cent dropped another new single and visual, “Smoke” featuring Trey Songz. The New York rapper is now working independently, after parting ways with his label, Interscope. As reported by rap-up.com:

“Ring the alarm. 50 Cent goes missing in the Eif Rivera-directed video for his Dr. Dre-produced single “Smoke” featuring Trey Songz. When the rap mogul can’t be found, the lead detective sends his top agent to track him down. The voluptuous cop fights off bad guys before discovering 50 in the trunk of a car in the to-be-continued clip.”

Yesterday 50 sat down with Power 105 “The Breakfast Club” morning show for an in-depth interview. As also reported by rap-up.com:

“There was plenty to talk about when 50 Cent stopped by Power 105.1′s “The Breakfast Club” on Monday. During the 70-minute conversation, the hip-hop mogul talked business, baby mama drama, Eminem’s impact on his career, and his famous feuds with Rick Ross, The Game, and Young Buck.

“He also revealed that he has shot 13 videos for Animal Ambition, four of which feature cameos from Tony Yayo. But after those videos were shot, he and Yayo’s friendship took a turn for the worse. While he blames Yayo for souring the relationship, he does accept some responsibility for his fallout with Lloyd Banks.”

He also revealed that  his new album, “Animal Ambition,” will be released on June 3.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
