50 Cent, Lala Kent, Randall Emmett | 75

A listener note, this episode includes strong language.

All right, Sydney, what would you say is the most successful feud that we've had in terms of like one person has an agenda, they kind of ruthlessly go after it, and then they get what they want. Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, that is a good one. Yeah, because they were equally caddy. Well actually Arnold was caddier and kind of got everything he wanted. Right. That was

A good case of getting under the other person's skin really, really well. I mean, any feud where you're tricking someone into doing a terrible, terrible movie is. A win. Yeah, I will never forget that. Like that's burned into my mind. I mean, this is kind of a trip question because there is no feud. Comes clear. today's just in terms of someone with persistence, shamelessness, creativity as a future.

And we're talking about 50 Cent. Again, returning Fudster, 50 Cent. He is diabolical. I also will say up top that I feel like as a white guy, I have to pronounce both F. Fully. Fifty. Oh God, that's the Chicago of you. I don't think that's just a white. I just feel like colloquially people refer to him as fitty, but I just I don't feel like I can say that. I'm just gonna say fifty and I apologize for that. Don't apologize.

So if you are a follower of 50 Cent's Instagram at all, you know he's a regular feudster. He gets into it with a lot of people. Of course, we've already talked about him before with Floyd Mayweather Jr. And in April 2019. twenty nineteen things went truly off the rails. He wasn't putting out any new music. He wasn't promoting any of his many affiliated brands. He was doing something a little bit odd for a billionaire. He was selling t-shirts.

And they were plain white t-shirts that had one brief statement on the front that said, I'm sorry, Fofty. As in fifty with an O instead of an I. Fofty. Nice. I'm imagining that this is something that you'll have to explain to me extensively. Yeah, it was confusing. Why Fty instead of fifty? Why was he apologizing to himself? Like what does this mean? Is this just a typo? It's even more confusing because people in the comments are going like crazy for it.

They are absolutely obsessed. They're selling like crazy. The comment section is blowing up. So it's very, very confusing. The good news is that we have the whole backstory on Fofty. The truth is out there, I'm going to guide us through the sea of. Text videos to learn. Who slash what fofty Thank God. And may I say Fafty kind of sounds like the third Safty brother that they like dug up from The one that they hide. It sounds like the name of like an imaginary I'm excited to get into it.

From Wondery, I'm Matt Belisai. And I'm Sidney Beth.

Today's feud is truly a wild one. It's kind of difficult to categorize. because it's three entirely different people who truly do not belong in the same Together. I'll be the judge of that. You can, but I I assure you. We've got Returning Futster 50 Cent, who is, of course, rapper-turned billionaire entrepreneur. Lala Kent, who is a reality star from the Bravo. And her fiance, Randall Emmett, who is a film producer. We have three completely different worlds.

They collide spectacularly when 50 Cent starts insulting La La Kent on Instagram. Who knew that 50 Cent watched Bravo? Wait, so he was insulting her because Because of her antics on Vanderpump? Yeah. Wow. We'll get into specifics. I don't even want to say any more at this point because I don't want to spoil it, but it is

one of the strangest feuds we covered, and something that we'll kind of ask throughout is like what made this particular feud so captivating to people? I mean, it really does have everything a good story needs. It's got conflict, it's got that concise timeline takes place over one Deadline, a ticking clock. It's very magruber. It is amazing. This is 50 Cent La La Kent and Randall.

So our drama today all revolves around maybe the messiest man we've ever encountered, and it's not 50 Cent that I'm talking about. It is Randall Emmett. Literal boogeyman. We have a picture of him here. No. I'm gonna make you look at it. I rebuke it. Oh. Have you ever watched 90 Day Fiance before the 90 days? He reminds me of Ed. The man with no neck? You remind me. Oh my god.

He is. Yeah. I feel bad for just like dunking on this completely average man. Wait, Ed or Randall? Because Randall, I think an entourage character is like partially based on him. And at least to me, both of them, but especially Randall sort of look like a walking Napoleon complex. He does look like...

Like if you typed in Hollywood producer into chat GPT, like this is what would come up. He used to be Mark Wahlberg's assistant, apparently. That's was like his origin. That dynamic duo looking at you from across the bar. Cover your drinks. Very scary. He's a film producer. He's made a lot of different movies, mostly like bottom of the barrel movies, a lot of straight to DVD. One of his sort of trademarks is that he does manage to attract Big older. budget just on g

And that sells the movie, and the rest of it is kind of garbage. He's been accused by some people of taking advantage of Bruce Willis. Yeah, he can rot in hell for that. Randall put him in a lot of movies. and a lot of people argue, you know, that it was sort of past the point that Bruce Willis should have been in movies because of his aphasia. Yeah, his dementia. And that it was sort of

Exploitative. Yeah. When you put an earpiece in someone's ear and you're telling them something like, Okay, look right, now look left, walk forward, this is your line. Just sick. Yeah. Disgusting. So yeah, a man of questionable morals for a lot of people.

And because he is so shameless, Randall eventually kind of wheels and deals his way into the orbit of today's other messy queen, 56. Last time, you know, we followed 50 and his attempts to get into the world of boxing. Today we're talking about his much more successful forays into film and television. So 50 and Randall Emmett formed their own production company together, Cheetah Vision. Okay.

They formed that in 2009. They produced a whole bunch of really corny action movies between then and 2013. And they did actually have some success with the stars show Power that 50 Cent was also in. Mm-hmm. Meanwhile, Randall's pretty messy in his private life. So in 2015, he's still married to the actress Amber Childers. But he starts dating this woman, La La Kent, who is a waitress-turned reality star on Vanderpump Rules, The Bravo. Well, let's pause.

Because I think waitress is so generous. I don't think Lala could ever be a waitress in any world. She can't attend to anyone's needs. She was a hostess. Okay. I will tell you, I think she barely worked because at the time the big strife on the show was Lala keeps taking time off to go on yachts and private jets with her married boyfriend.

Yeah, I mean that is the more important detail about her is that she's just very messy and dramatic herself. She has a lot of feuds, lot of like below the bell insults. She does get some slack for cultural appropriation. No. She sounds more like she's trying to do like Jersey wife more than like African American. I don't know. It's weird b yeah, I understand what you mean. She flits between a bunch of different personas. But it's all just like, I'm tough. Right.

Well, when Randall and Lala get together, he is about 44. She's about 25. That's a beautiful age difference. Yeah, you know, it's about 20 years. He divorces his wife. In 2017. And then just under a year later, they get engaged. Randall pops the question to Lala. And she says yes, and Lala doesn't know it yet, but she's made a huge mistake. Two years after Lala and Randall get engaged, Lala goes into a bunch of detail about her relationship with him. On an episode of Vanderpump Rules.

Here we have a clip of her talking about meeting him after auditioning for a role he was casting. I had auditioned for it and we went out, me and him and like two of my friends, and I let him hit it the first night and we were He would just send me like really expensive gifts. The first night we banged, I got a car the next day. She is talking to Stasi from Vanderpump Rules, and as she's talking, Stasi's mouth is just like

permanently a gape. Yeah. I mean she's saying she let him hit it the first night and then the next day he got her a Range Rover. Truly. And it can't be stressed enough that she talked about him like this for So much of the show. Yeah, it is hard to imagine hearing that without knowing what he looks like and then having this picture of this guy in your head and then seeing the real him. Distressing.

Besides the fact that this is just kind of a wild thing to say out loud at all, it is extra wild considering that this is in the aftermath of Me Too. She's talking about like you audition for this man and then you sleep with him and like Just a little tone deaf.

So, little does Lala know she has drawn the attention of none other than apparent Bravo super fan, Fifty Sin. About a month after that episode airs, 50 shares this clip of Lala talking about basically trading sex for roles and money, and this is what he captions it if you'll read it. Ten seconds left in the fourth quarter, Hose are winning. Do you want a Range Rover? Star-eyed emoji. Yes.

Then just run out, running emoji, cloud of dust emoji, and suck a dick. LOL SMH Face Palm Emoji. Hashtag Le Chemin Dura. Hashtag Branson Cognac. Those are probably just Alcohol brands he has a stake in. You know, fifty he has to get in a plug for his brands whenever he tweets or says anything. Yeah. I was confused by the ten seconds left in the fourth quarter hose phrase. One guess was that he's accusing Lala of being at the end of her money or something. She has nothing. Ten seconds left and

She is gonna pull out this last play, which is suck a dick for a Range Rover. I think it's like we're down bad, hoser winning, like we're at the end of the game, hoser up. I don't know. I'm sure he knows exactly what he means. Yeah. He does also post more in the comments if you want to read those. I do. Me too roleplay. Are you a actress?

Come to my hotel and act like you really want the role. Then suck a dick. No good, Randall. No good. Hey, how is the Range Rover? There's no difference between Harvey Weinstein and Randall Emmett. This is reality, not reality TV. Bravo, bitch, at Bravo. Hold on, not Bravo, bitch. Hold on. I don't know, maybe he did mean Bravo. It's a little pun. Yeah, look at him. So yeah, he gets at it eventually by just making the direct comparison to Harvey Weinstein. Again, this is like post Me too.

Casting couch roleplay, it is strange. Yeah, it is very odd. I think this is a feud full of tone-deaf people, which makes it extra fun, but the antics are so much crazier. But if you're like an member of the public and you're just following 50 Cent on Instagram, you're like, what does he have against La La Kent? And Randall Emmett, who is supposedly this guy that he's like worked with as a producing partner. We don't have long to process that question.

Though because Lala wastes no time in clapping back. Oh, she's very reactive. Good for us. Yeah, she responds in the comments of 50's Instagram. Here's her response. Just to make it less confusing, Lala refers to 50 Cent as This is such a fun dynamic. This is vaguely transphobic. Just to say before we even start in. So Lala says she swears she's a thug from Southside Jamaica, Queens, and she's up in here watching Bra. Laughing emoji. Someone has forgotten where they

Pondering emoji. Coming for me on the gram. I smell fish coming from 50s direction. Vanderpump Rules airs Mondays at 9 only by Bravo TV. I got the strap. Cat smiling emoji. This is sad. I guess she's trying to like emasculate fifty cent for watching Bravo. I don't think it's that good of a clap back. I I think it's pretty weak. She ends up doubling down and going in even further when she posts this video to her Instagram story. We have a clip of that.

Here is Lala. 50 C took a clip of me talking about what I do behind closed doors with my fiance and used it. To diminish the validity of the Me Too movement. That I will not stand for. You took something that I did behind closed doors and then talked about on a nationally televised program and used that against me? I mean

It's like that reductress article about how the worst person you know just made a great point. Here it's like her overall message is kind of like nonsensical, but she does have a point about him trying to invalidate the Me Too movement or bringing that in. To his little beef with her and Randall. But at the same time, it's like he took a clip from a show. Right. Anyway, so pretty audacious considering that like she basically brags about this behavior repeatedly.

on the show. We have another clip of her talking about that kind of icky dynamic. The people at Sir asked me about my car and how that was paid for, but I don't owe any of these people any explanation. I'm stuck in dick for a lot more than range robots, honey. This reminds me of something else she said on the show, which was like. Look, if you're a pretty girl and you've been in Hollywood for more than a year and you haven't been on a private jet, that's your own problem.

Like you should have found your way onto one by now. But the big question with all of this is why the hell does fifty Cent care? Like what is his motive? And everybody knows he's got Some ulterior motive here. And as always, with 50 Cent, I mean it's in the name, it's about the money. Ah, okay. Lava might.

I think that she's gotten some sort of upper hand with her video calling out 50 Cent for making a mockery of the Mewtwo movement, but she and Randall are in for some dark times ahead. I'm ready for the car. Hello, I'm Matt Ford. And I'm Alice Levine. And we're the hosts of British Scandal. Now, Britain loves a royal scandal. Abdications, affairs, We've had the lot. But this series is about two brothers. by tragedy.

Barely speaking. Was it jealousy, the press, the firm? Or was this royal rift always inevitable? This is the story of Harrian Wills and the scandal that split the Follow British Scamble wherever. or listen early and ad-free on Audible. All right, Sydney. So Fifty Cent is once again about to prove why he is. The feudmaster. Previously friendly with producer Randall Emmett. He starts coming after Randall's fiance, La La Kent, on Instagram, insulting her for admitting that.

She traded sex with Randall for movie roles and other stuff, compares him to Harvey Weinstein. Why is he doing all this? We're about to find out.

So, just to throw your mind for a loop, all of this drama between 50 and lala is happening on one day, April 26th, 2019. The next day, April 27th, 50 finally reveals what it's all about. We mentioned that 50 and Randall work together on a whole bunch of productions through their production company, Chi Division. Well, that partnership perhaps unsurprisingly dissolved. And now 50's claiming that Randall owes him one million dollars from the whole thing.

Is it wrong that my first thought was is that all? AAAAAAAH Yeah. I'm surprised it's not more. The other issue is that Randall is increasingly getting this reputation for borderline fraudulent dealings. Investors, producers, crew members, even his office landlord are starting to come out of the woodwork and sue him for unpaid bills, we eventually learn that Randall owes as much as twenty-five million dollars total to different creditors or whatever you call it. Jesus Christ.

I don't know how people live like that. I for one shocked that someone who bought a woman he slept with a Range Rover after one night has financial woes. Have you seen that meme where it's like, I wouldn't tell anyone if I won the lottery, but there'd be signs. This is like I wouldn't tell anyone that I'm engaging in fraud, but there would be signs. Yeah. So Randall knows exactly why Fifty is going after him and La La, even if Lala doesn't know right away.

And even if it seems completely random to the rest of the world, Randall, it turns out, has secretly been texting 50 throughout April twenty sixth, begging him And he even sends him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Fifty is like the perfect antidote to random Yeah, and what's funny about him is that he probably doesn't even need that million dollars. It's more of A principal thing?

And so he's like, No, I'm about to be insufferable. You don't understand. Oh yeah. I think I read it was like six years or something. That's how old the loan was, something like that. So he's been waiting for that one million dollars. And yeah, either he's only just now become aware of how fraudulent some of Randall's dealings can be.

Or he just saw the perfect opportunity when he watched that episode and heard La La talking about it. Maybe he was like, Oh, he's buying her a Range Rover, so he does got money that he can be sending my way. Either way He's gonna exploit this situation for all that it's worth. Can't blame him. 50 posts a text exchange and Randall pulls out all the stomps to get 50's sympathy. Here is the text chain that we can read together. Are we gonna roleplay?

Yep, let's roleplay. Okay. All right, I guess I should be Randall. First, I'll just have you read the caption that 50 Cent wrote. Okay, it says Fuck you, Randall Emmett. You think I wouldn't find out? You and your little ho girlfriend talk to us weekly. I want the rest of my money Monday. So that was the caption. And then the post is of like 10 texts in a row that Randall sent to 50. He said, I'm sorry again. I really am. I said I'm sorry, Fofty.

I'm heading to emergency room. I'm not doing well. Please don't text me anymore. I'm sorry for everything. And then a random tee. This is too much for me. I'm so hurt and not feeling well. Now my ex is fucking with me after your posts. This is very bad for me on all levels. Going to ER to make sure not having heart attack, please 50, no more. And then 50 says, You fucking loser, keep playing with me and get your fucking head cracked in front of everybody.

My God. My God. We have to give it to him. He has incredible comedic inclinations. Yeah, and just like not buying Randall's approach. Randall is like, I'm dying. My heart is exploding. But before that, give me my money. And then it keeps going. So fifty posts another text exchange. And this one involves la la. So I'll read Randall's side again. Randall texts, She is my fiance, and I asked you to be in my wedding last week. I'm sorry. And then 50 says.

Fuck that. I told you I wasn't fucking with you. What the fuck would you want me in your wedding for? Like I ain't got shit else to do. Get the fuck out of here. You took my kindness for weakness. Now I'ma show you what I've been trying not to do to you dumb motherfuckers. Randall replies, I said I'm sorry, Fafby. Again. I apologized. He asked him to be in his wedding? I can't think of a less appropriate ask of someone than to be in your wedding when this is the dynamic that you have.

So yeah, 50 is posting all of this on Instagram for the whole world, and he's not giving Randall any wiggle room. The captain that he writes. is I want all my money Monday. Fuck that. If he ain't got it, he can put his Rolls-Royce on the truck to New York. The friendship is overrated. And he does say, you know, he sent me$250,000, but I want all of my money by Monday. So people are like, oh my God.

It's Saturday and they really want to know what's gonna happen come Monday. We have our ticking clock. You know, Randall is like in his own version of Uncut Gems, just like running around. Almost having a heart attack. But yeah, I mean people are eating it up, especially because It's so funny that Randall is like apparently so nervous that he keeps typing fofty instead of fifty. And of course.

fifty cent, never waste an opportunity. He sees the potential here. You can I can tell that it's fun for him at this point. The more that Randall panics. The more that he tries to send texts that say like, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. If I was fifty, I'd be digging my heels in even more. I'd be like, Okay, now I really wanna make you pay.

So literally the next day, Sunday, April 28th, 50 starts selling those t-shirts that say, I'm sorry, Fafty, on the front. And According to some reports, he sells 10,000 shirts. I was about to say he probably makes a million dollars just off of those shirts. Apparently he made as much as three hundred thousand, so Okay.

Not bad. People are so captivated that the phrase money by Monday starts trending. People are waiting on the edge of their seats to see if he is going to pay by Monday, this Monday deadline. It's all going better than 50 could have imagined. Randall, meanwhile, keeps trying to play for sympathy. He sends 50 this picture trying to prove that he really did go to the ER, if you can describe it. Dear My bitch pose nasty.

I feel guilty for laughing. It's the face he's making. He's like full-on smizing at the camera. He's clearly in a medical office of some kind or a hospital. He has a bunch of monitors taped to his chest. And it looks like they didn't shave any of his body hair, so you know that those are gonna be hell to pull off. Um But he has a bunch of like, are they electrodes technically strapped to him and like a little device and it looks like they're about to make him go?

on a treadmill and my thing is like they wouldn't do that if you were actively having a heart attack. So this picture wouldn't prove anything to me. It would just kind of make me laugh. He sure He's wearing What looks like board shorts? Yeah, like camo, rainbow camouflage, board shorts or pants. And we can't emphasize enough that he is like trying to smolder at the camera. Yeah, this is a like a very funny picture.

And you can imagine, like, 50 sees this, immediately shares it, and Randall becomes even more of a laughing stock than he is already. Someone edits his Wikipedia page and 50 shares that. And it's so funny. It's like, Randall Emmett is an American film and television producer. He's best known to produce the films Two Guns, Lone Survivor, and Silence.

He owes fifty cent, aka Fafty, a million by Monday, or else he's faked a heart attack to get out of it thus far. I keep laughing because you know, like I said before, that Randall is in his own version of Uncut Gems. And fifty is just like rolling with laughter with every text he gets. Like you know at this point he doesn't even care about the million, but he's like, I will have that million dollars. But he's just getting such a high off of torturing him that like I have to laugh.

I mean look, and this man's defense I can actually imagine his heart was beating so fast during all of this that he was like, I I think I am having a heart attack. Oh, he was for sure having several panic attacks. Right. And if he was a good person, I might feel bad for him. I mean this is a feud where someone is so obviously in the wrong, but it's almost like fifty is going slow.

so heavy on the offense that you're like, Oh, I feel like we're kicking a corpse while it's lying in the street. I'm like, kick away. Yeah. I mean fifty keep Kicking. He shares a bunch of memes. I'll do the first one. One of them is he is sitting on the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones. 50 is, and the caption is. Monday is coming. Classic meme. The second one, I guess he Instagrammed it. It's a cast photo of Vanderpump Rules.

But he's made it so every cast member has his face. And he's changed the title of the show to Fofty cent rules. And the caption says, Tonight catch the show. Laughing emoji, clapping emoji. Bravo, bitch, bravo. LOL. And then he once again hashtags his alcohol. So yeah, he's having a lot of fun. He's definitely winning the internet heart.

side of things. But is it enough to get the rest of his money back? He doesn't have that money. Maybe not liquid, but I'm sure he's got some things to sell. Hmm, that Range Rover he can start there. Yeah.

Alright, Sydney, we are in more suspense than we've ever been. 50 Cent has absolutely destroyed movie producer Randall Emmett and his fiance Lala Kent, demanding that Randall pay 50 the money that he owes him by Monday, April 29th, 2019, or else. Or else what? Like w what is he gonna do? I mean, he did say you'll get your fucking head cracked in in front of everybody. So I shouldn't laugh. I'm so sorry. Well, hashtag Money Monday arrives. and drum roll I think we need. Fifty cent reveals

That Randall has paid him in full. I'm shook. But 50 doesn't let Randall totally off the hook. It's not just, okay, it's over. He posts once again. And shares another round of texts from Randall. I'll read Randall. Randall says, have an idea. Can you call me? And then fifth, I agree to all the terms. Can you please stop posting? Money will be there in the AM. Fifty cents back. The skeptical emoji, and then he says, You made this fucking mess when the money hits the accounts.

Everything comes down. And then like a few hours later, he says, Okay, I just got the wire asshole. Back to my regular scheduled program. And then the same skeptical emoji. Yeah, so Once again, just really kicking him while he's down. Mm-hmm. Fifty captions the post. I got my money, so I have no problem with Randall Emmett. In fact, I'm wishing him and his family a very blessed day. Positive vibes now, guys.

Which keep in mind is the caption of the post of those texts where he says, I got the wire asshole. This psychopath. I have to admire it. I love when crazy fights crazy. It is kind of remarkable that like it works. It does feel like mobster-esque in that you beat the shit out of someone and then you're like.

Hey, I'm sorry that that had to happen. Yeah, let's be buddies. It turns out that Randall didn't just wire 50 the money, there was actually like a settlement. The LA Times got hold of it and is pretty juicy. So 50 had to agree to delete all of his posts, which He does, except for that last one that shows Randall begging him to stop. Also, it had already been like memorialized around the internet.

Randall also had to post an apology. And then the juiciest bit is that the settlement shows that they had a project that they had worked on together that was still coming out called BMF Black Mafia Family. Oh. Sounds like an Emmy. Emmy's contender. Yeah. As part of that agreement, Randall has to remain a hundred feet away from 50 Cent at the premiere of that show and isn't allowed to be in any group photos.

You know 50 Cent hired a man with a giant ruler to follow him around the whole night. I mean, I would be shocked if that premiere happened and if Randall went to it. Yeah. But yeah, if you thought that was the end of it.

Four months later, fifty goes on. Where else? I said it was coming. Watch what happens live. Oh my God. He is a true Bravo girl. I mean, yeah, Andy Cohen did like a whole segment on it, but this is four months later, and Andy gives 50 Cent his own segment called

Spill the fough tea. Oh, I see what he did there. And he asked Fifty about the whole drama and 50's like, I don't regret anything. I got what I wanted. What did you expect him to say? Do you have any regrets about this public feud that you Really won?

And the fact that you humiliated a man who had wronged you. Do you have any regrets about that? Like, no. Yeah, I mean, I would say the only thing that we didn't really talk about is like There were a lot of comments on fifty's post that were like, Wow, I'm unfollowing this is Very childish This are Randall on his ul right. Who's saying that? Who Cares that much about Randall Emmett that they were like, you know what? I've stood by you, but I really can't abide this.

I mean, maybe it was people who just genuinely had no idea who Randall was and was just like, Ew, I don't like this behavior from 50, but now they need to listen to this episode and have the full context for why Fifty did everything. Exactly right. And came out three hundred grand richer because he made t-shirts. Right. I wonder if that's where Lala got the idea because she famously sold T shirts and bought a house off of Scandaval. Yeah. See? One of the biggest A T shirt manufacturer on

So we may be wondering, like, where did Lala land in all of this? Because she was sort of a bystander. I mean, after her initial little bit. But she just can't help herself. She tries to get the final word in, and what she does next, threats. Threatens to bring it all back into the open. Oh god. So Lala, perhaps she was a little bit bitter about getting dragged into this.

This thing that was really just between Randall and 50 Cent. She can't help but go on, watch what happens live, literally a month after 50 Cent went on, and she says this. But the whole thing, you know, I think I really dinged Fofty's ego. In fact I know that because I have a receipt to prove that which I would never post. Right. Because I ain't that girl. I ain't beefing unless I'm getting paid on Vanderpump, yo. Right. I ain't thiefin' unless I'm getting paid on Vanderpump, yo.

Shut up. I'm like, post the receipts. I want to know what the hell you're talking about because no you didn't. Yeah, like I'm sorry, huge if true. And if true being the imperative part of that sentence. Like, I don't know about that girl. He roughed up your man. Pretty good. Right. The closest she got to scoring a point on him was like accusing him of undermining or trivializing me too. But it was like, I don't know, you kind of were doing that first.

This is just further proof of her delusions of grandeur. What are you talking about? You lost horrifically. And not only is like what she's saying petty, but it also potentially violates the agreement that they came to, which Said that they are forbidden from making any public statements about fifty. Oh. But if they do, then he is free to say whatever he wants. He's so litigious. Obviously, he's taking advantage of that. So he reposts this post from Us Weekly. It's a picture of Lala and

It's about how she spoke to Us Weekly, opening up about her struggles with alcoholism. The caption of that Us Weekly post is. Well I'll okay. Annant hit rock bottom during a Disney World vacation with her fiance Randall Emmett. And his two young people.

Quote, I was drunk four days straight, she admitted. So 50 Cent takes a screenshot of that Us Weekly post and he posted to his Instagram with this caption, if you want to read it. So the caption starts with the Eyes emoji and then he says, Oh, this bitch be drunk four days straight. She must just be on some drunk ho, I don't remember type shit.

Skeptical emoji and then hashtag his two liquor brands. Right. And then he leaves a comment on that. It says, Have a drink, hit the powder. Have a drink, hit the powder. Have a drink, hit a powder, four days straight. And I wanna be clear. Spelled P O W D A Lot to unpack here. I don't wanna trivialize people who have alcohol addiction issues. Just if you're an adult at Disney World, you're probably gonna be drunk for four days. Great, I'm sorry.

Or am I an alcoholic? I have never been drunk at Disney World, but Never say never. What's interesting is that this was one of her most vulnerable moments on Vanderpump, talking about like her journey to sobriety. And how she felt really horrible about herself after going there. And so it's so interesting that he's just like reposting it and not really even adding anything to it, just being like, This hoe drunk four days.

Not only is he making fun of her, but he's promoting his alcohol brands on a Yeah. So Lala immediately gets on Instagram, posts her response, if you'll read part Yes I will. I feel it's important for me to say this and I'm only going to adjust. My sobriety is something I'm proud of and work on every day. Cocaine, nor were any other substances other than alcohol involved in my decision to be.

One of her better clapbacks because it shows something that she's not known for, which is restraint. Yeah, I mean he was clearly in the wrong here and like just open to Up to you. Like this. But he still got the money he wanted. Randall was like terrified that this was all getting brought up again. And so he writes on Instagram, At fifty Cent, time for us to bury the hatchet. I apologize. We never wanted to upset you and won't happen again, wishing you nothing but happiness and

He lives in like a fantasy world in which 50 Cent is his best friend and also he's a reply guy. Like It's insane that he's using the same cadence that men use when they're begging under the post of like a thirst trap where they're like, Hello, never wanted to upset you, please acknowledge me, I love you, oh my god, I wish you nothing but the best. I mean he's terrified. He is like convinced that this man is going to destroy him even further. He's so whipped.

Like what else does he have over your head that is making you grovel like this? They end up going on entertainment tonight together, la la and Randall, and it is like even further proof that their tails are between their legs. Here's a part of that. He's an incredible businessman and honestly we wish each other the best. So you guys are good, you still talk? We're just ever no, I mean honestly everybody.

No, we are all good and you know what? Life has its curveballs and honestly at the end of the day he's been incredible to me in in life and things happen and now we wish him the best. We have to be all good because I love his music too much. She does. She does. You still she plays it all the time. She does. She does. There's a gun out of frame aimed at his

Her statement on that makes me think that they're in a detente of some kind, you know? Like she knows that they're in a peaceful time, they've had this treaty, and meanwhile Randall is like Well he's the best guy I've ever known and he's done so much for me and I I owe my life to him. Yeah. It is very ridiculous.

So things sort of settle down between Randall, Lala, and 50 Cent. But the feud between Randall and Lala is just beginning. Because a few years later, in October 2021, reports start swirling that. La La has left Randall after footage surfaced of him hanging out with younger. Shocking. Yes, of course. And they end up entering this really messy custody battle over their daughter, Ocean. So a little less than a year after that comes out, July 2022, the Los Angeles Times runs.

James runs this bombshell piece that alleges that Randall offered multiple women roles in his films and experiences. For sex, that he has this long history of ripping people off. So we've sort of presented all of this in chronological order, but this is when people really find out, oh. This man doesn't just look like a creep. Turns out he walks and talks exactly like one too. Yeah, he's a true monster. Not only is he allegedly abusing

Someone with a diminished capacity. Not only is he stealing money from people, but he's also this like horrible gremlin boogeyman who's coercing young women into sleeping with him and assaulting them. Right. Allegedly. I mean, we have to say it legally here. Randall denies all of it. He says that these claims are part of a smear campaign orchestrated by Lala. Oh, definitely, for sure. Yeah. But she and 50 end up having the last laugh.

Because it's revealed that she has visited 50 multiple times on the set of a movie. I mean even have this picture together that we have here that T M Z shares of them like hugging and kissing one another. He's kissing her on the side of the head. And they're hugging. Oh, this is really beautiful. I wish everyone had a version of this that they could post to torment their horrible ex.

Yeah, could not imagine a more devastating photo for Randall. Truly. Wow. Lala even says on a red carpet that 50 Cent was right. Here is a clip. That was such a happy moment for me because I have been such a huge fan of his for so long since in the club came out and I was really young. So when I got the call to link up with him on the set of his movie, I walk in the door and he goes, You should have listened to me.

I was like, I should have. I never want to live in a world where fifty Cent can competently and with one hundred percent accuracy tell me I told you so. Yeah. Also it's not like he warned her and Calm off screen way. He literally posted a clip and was like, Oh, you're role playing me too? Like that was his warning. For all we know, he was in her DMs being like, I'm reaching out as a friend. I wanna see their text, actually.

So yeah, some people were feeling a lot of sympathy for her, others were like, hmm, you kinda brought this on yourself. Whatever you feel about La La, we can all agree with Chrissy Teagan when she wrote on Twitter I never ever want fifty cent to be mad at me. Oh, I I agree with that. He fights dirty and he keeps All of the receipts. Yeah, and he will keep going until he wins. It's just so funny to compare this to.

feud with Floyd Mayweather, you know, at least Floyd was like fighting back. This was arguably almost not even a feud. This is just Randall like begging for his life. And like just taking L after L. I think the real difference here, and it's so funny given what Lala said, but it's the difference between 50 fighting with someone who he respects and who can actually bruise his ego versus versus someone who he does not respect at all and sees as a joke.

And uses as a plaything. So yeah, always keep the receipts. That's why I never understand when people have their iPhones set to automatically delete iMessages after thirty days. You gotta keep those until eternity. I didn't even know people I mean it does take up a lot of space. High price, but you know, high value as well.
