‘I Like This’: 50 Cent Lusts After Nia Long, and People Are Here for It

There’s no doubt that a lot of fellas of a certain age have been crushing on Nia Long ever since she played Brandi in the film “Boyz n the Hood.”

And if they didn’t fall for the actress then, there’s a good chance they did when she played Nina Mosley in the classic “Love Jones” or in her other films.

50 Cent is currently 44 years old, which means he was 16 when “Boyz n the Hood” came out and 22 when “Love Jones” was released. So it’s possible, at least based on his age, that he had a crush on Long like many others did while coming up.

It’s a theory one could give after seeing 50 admire Long in a photo that she posted on Sunday. The sultry pic shows the 49-year-old looking down at the camera in a low-cut top as she sits inside a vehicle.

“Looking down on 2019….2020 LET’S F–ING GO!!!!” Long wrote in the caption.

Then, in the comments, 50 wrote, “I like this picture. LOL.”

The G-Unit rapper made the comment even though he’s in a relationship with a woman named Cuban Link. In fact, Link posted an Instagram video on Saturday and said she received a new Range Rover, which many believe was a gift from 50.

Long, meanwhile, has been engaged since 2015 to former NBA player Ime Udoka, who’s now an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers. And they have an 8-year-old son together named Kez Sunday Udoka.

But regardless, people seemed to be entertained by 50’s flirtatious message, and they let him know by posting laughing emojis next to it.

Others commented on the photo as well and let Long know how much they love her.

“@50cent me too‼️” someone wrote about the pic.

“Damn, you are a wonderful woman,” wrote another.

“Lady don’t age at all🔥,” a third person stated.

“My only regret is being too young for Nia Long 😍,” wrote someone else, who quoted the rapper J. Cole‘s words in his song “No Role Modelz.”

Long hasn’t responded to 50’s message yet.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
