50 Explains He and Floyd's Cat Fight
50 and Floyd Mayweather were the BFFs for a while, then you didn't see them together anymore and here's why. 50 said Mayweather had been going around telling everybody that 50 was going to be at his WWE fight with wrestler Big Show and 50 said Floyd promised him some money for appearing. The only thing is 50 say Floyd was talking about he was going to get him some money while he literally had a duffel bag with a million dollars in it at his feet. So 50 was like, give me some of that money out the bag, why I gotta wait to get paid? 50 said, "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'. 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."

That's Her Story And She's Sticking To It
T-Boz told Essence Magazine: "I'm not homeless. During my last marriage [to Mack 10], I had a bunch of things that were put in my name. If one of those properties is going into foreclosure then I don't know. Although I've been divorced for five years, there are still a lot of things I'm dealing with on getting straight in that regard. All I know is that the house I live in with my daughter is not [in foreclosure]. When you pull up my name, my real house doesn't show up because it's not in my real name, because I enjoy my privacy and I'm not trying to have people be able to find me that easily."
