The Game Claims King of Pop Tried to Mediate Beef With 50 Cent

The Game has been known to tell a tall tale or two, but his newest yarn takes the cake.

According to the Game, recently deceased pop legend Michael Jackson attempted to intercede during the height of the beef between 50 Cent and Game, calling the Compton rapper/fan in 2005 and offering to play "peacekeeper" between the feuding MC's.

"I was on tour in Canada, sitting in my room, cutting my hair," Game told MTV News. "I was messing my hair up. Then my road manager knocks on my door. Boom, boom, boom. He told me, I got MJ on the phone. I ran and snatched up the phone."

50 Cent Blames Record Label for 'In Da Club'

50 Cent is putting the blame on his label for making him release so many club songs. The Queens, NY, born rapper stated in a recent interview that labels don't market "hard-core hip-hop." According to 50, his label, Interscope Records, pushed him to make club friendly songs to increase his record sales.

"If you don't make a record that can actually play to a certain amount of audience, " he said. "There is no possible way you're going to get the marketing dollars necessary to promote the project to the point that you have the huge successful records that I've had. I've made enough street material prior to 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' for you to forget 'In Da Club' was 'In Da Club.'

Tru Life Turns Himself in to Authorities, Faces Murder Charge

New York rapper Tru Life turned himself in to authorities on June 23. He reportedly faces a first degree murder charge. While the early accounts are somewhat sketchy, the charge appears to be related to a stabbing that occurred in a Manhattan apartment building last week, leaving one man critically injured and an unnamed teen dead.

Police were allegedly investigating the infamous Lower East Side rapper's brother in regards to the stabbing, a retaliation for an earlier non-fatal shooting of an alleged drug dealer named Michael Slater, who was shot last week, outside of club Pacha in NYC.

Usher's Soon-to-be Ex Wife Slams Lawyer Via Twitter

R&B singer Usher's soon-to-be ex-wife Tameka Foster-Raymond has had it with her divorce lawyer Randy Kessler. The only problem is, she let her Twitter followers know before she told him.

The 38-year-old mother of five "mistakenly" posted a response to friend and attorney Star Jones asking if she knew of a good lawyer. "My lawyer = horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta," she wrote.

After recognizing her mistake, Foster-Raymond posted a comment on her page. "Please delete this...it was a mistake. Not for [people] to see. I'm sorry."

Kessler, a prominent Atlanta divorce attorney is known for his celebrity clientele. Per his firm's website, representing high profile clients is "twice as challenging as rewarding as it is challenging." In the days following news of her split, Foster-Raymond appeared to be in good spirits. She attended a movie premiere in Atlanta with her three of her five children, and was recently snapped wearing her wedding ring.

Bow Wow Calls Out His Dad on Father's Day Via Twitter

Most people see Father's Day as a time to tell their dad how much they love and appreciate him. For rapper Bow Wow, it was a chance to put his absentee father on blast. The 22-year-old took to his Twitter page to express his thoughts on his absentee father.

"As bad as I wanna' say FU -- my pops, I'm not [going to] think negatively, " he wrote. "So happy pop's day to all [the] fathers out there. Mine is [probably] drunk [some where]."

This isn't the first time Bow has addressed his father's absence, last year he released the song 'Father's Day,' in which he chronicled their non-existent relationship. "It's too late homey, don't even bother," he rapped. "You know how much stress you done caused my mama/ Because you wasn't around it was so much drama/Think picking up a 40 gonna' solve your problems/Tried talking to you but that don't change much/Gave you some money but you f---ed that all up."

Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed' Aimed at Eminem?

R&B diva Mariah Carey doesn't need Nick Cannon to fight her battles when it comes to Eminem -- she'll do it herself. The 39-year-old recently released the song 'Obsessed' about a "delusional" acquaintance who won't leave her alone. Sound familiar?

Last month Em dropped 'his comeback album 'Relapse,' which featured 'Bagpipes over Baghdad,' a track in which he clearly calls Carey out, even pondering why their fling didn't last. If the rumors are true, Carey's 'Obsessed' makes the rapper look as though he imagined the alleged "fling."

"I was like,'why are you so obsessed with me?'" Carey asks as the song begins. From there the lyrics run suspiciously close to her alleged encounter with Em. "All up in the blogs/ Say we met at the bar/When I don't even know who you are/Say we up in your house/Sayin' I'm up in your car/ But you in LA, I'm out with Jermaine."
