Entertainment: Fiddy-Floyd Feud Was Over Franklins

December 20th, 2008

50 Cent

Fiddy-Floyd feud was over Franklins. They don’t call him “Money” Mayweather for nothin’. Rapper 50 Cent was both a friend and a fan of the boxing champ, he says, until Floyd Mayweather refused to share a bit of his wealth. Fiddy says Floyd wanted the rapper to appear at his wrestling match versus wrestler Big Show and that he promised cash in return for the favor. “He was sitting there with a million dollars cash in a bag, and he kept telling me he was going to get me money for appearing, but I was like ‘No, give me some of that money right there,’” Fiddy recalls. “He had one million dollars in the bag, it was physically right in front of me, so why should I have to wait to get paid? Just give me that money right there. He wasn’t with it, and that’s how it all started.” A mill in a bag? So much for contracts, commissions and camaraderie.

MLK’s Kids Are Ordered to Turn Over Their Mother’s Letters

MLK’s kids are ordered to turn over their mother’s letters.

Martin Luther King III and Bernice King were ordered by a Fulton County Superior Court judge on Friday evening to turn over personal papers and letters belonging to their late mother to their younger brother, Dexter King, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville specified just how the more than 700 boxes containing Coretta Scott King’s documents should be turned over to the court in an order released late Friday evening. The children of the civil rights legend Martin Luther King, Jr., have to turn over the documents “80 boxes at a time” or else, the judge wrote. “Any party failing to adhere to any court order … may face sanctions,” he said, adding that those sanctions could include jail time, said Don Plummer, a court spokesman. The King siblings only partially followed a previous court order, Plummer said. Some boxes were produced, but many contained other belongings of Mrs. King, not just documents. Dexter King took his siblings to court get letters sent between civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife for a book he wants to publish on his mother, Coretta Scott King. He asked for the letters on behalf of King Inc., the family corporation that controls King’s intellectual property, but his brother and sister have resisted.
