50 Cent and Ja Rule have had their fair share of words both on wax and online. When news of Ja Rule’s forthcoming two year sentence for attempted weapons possession found its way onto the Internet, Fif was quick to mock his misfortune, and now that it was recently revealed that the former Murder Inc. emcee could be looking at an additional three years from skipping out on his taxes, the G-Unit leader was again on the attack.

"Damn you don’t want to pay taxes fool. Take 3 more years hahaha. Oh sh*t I’m crying,” wrote 50 on his official Twitter page, before re-tweeting a fan’s tweet that read, “Ja Rule pleads guilty to tax evasion aww this is the biggest headline for Ja since @50cent destroyed his career."

Ja Rule came with some jokes of his own, writing, “I remember when we was beating @50cent ass he was curled up under the track board like a [b*tch]. I can talk sh*t on Twitter to that hoe ass n*gga I already f*cked him up twice lol…Talk what [you] know ppl better yet ask him!!!”

“@50cent talked about me singing but that n*gga sure be hitting that high note lol my student!!”

Lloyd Banks revealed that he is worried about Young Buck and wouldn't wish his current situation on nobody. Buck has suffered both financial and legal issues.

“It’s unfortunate. I don’t wish indictment or anything worse than that on anybody,” said Banks to MTV News. “Yeah, I have nothing negative to say about the situation and hopefully he makes it out that.”

In other business, Banks plans to turn loose his musi video for the next single "So Greatful (feat. Ryan Leslie)" off his latest album "Hunger For More 2"

Buck has hired a former prosecutor (Robin Mitchel Joyce) overseeing his financial ruin and has help him submit a $500,000 budget to G-Unit for his third album which would either force the label to release him or approve the budget. The label recently filed a $10 million claim against Buck in the event that he breaches the terms of his contract.

Jay-Z and Beyonce' to Appear on Dr. Dre's "Detox" Album

Jay-Z and wife Beyonce are back to making beautiful music together again.

No, the pair didn’t have a n@sty fallout or any other marital differences nor are the tabloid rumors of them splitting hold true. An unknown source told British newspaper The Sun that Jay-Z and Dr. Dre recorded verses for an unnamed track for Dre’s upcoming final album Detox, and that there was space left in the track for Beyonce to deliver a chorus. This comes as big news as the megastar power couple has not recorded jointly since 2007 on Jay’s American Gangster album on the song “Pray.”

The full quote from the source read: “Jay and Dre have recorded their verses with the chorus left open for Beyoncé to sing. The producer has worked on Detox for over a decade. He wanted the couple together.” Jay and Beyonce have paired up on hits songs many times such as the Grammy winning “Crazy In Love” and the sweeping “Bonnie & Clyde” tracks.

If the news of the collaboration holds true, the list of confirmed features for Dre’s last opus include Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Akon, Skylar Grey and buzzing young Cali rapper Kendrick Lamar. Rappers The Game and Slim Da Mobster also have been listed to appear on the record along with English electro pop duo La Roux. Dre has already released two singles from Detox, “Kush” and “I Need A Doctor” –with the latter receiving video treatment and serving as a launching pad for Skylar Grey’s heavy buzz and skyrocketing career.
