Taylor Swift Shouts Out 50 Cent. Timothée Chalamet a Secret Rapper. November’s Pop & Hip-Hop Mayhem Explained

50 Cent heard Starz lost $53 million without him and he already had the clapback ready.

50 Cent clowns Starz, Taylor Swift name-drops him, and Timothée Chalamet might be a UK rapper?! November's pop & hip-hop news is pure chaos — and we’re loving every unpredictable second of it.

Pop Meets Hip-Hop: November's Hot Mess of Hits, Beef, and Unexpected Love Letters

November isn’t over yet, but the pop and hip-hop world already feels like a group chat on fire. Between 50 Cent trolling TV execs, Taylor Swift name-dropping gangsters, and TikTok sleuths claiming Timothée Chalamet is secretly spitting bars under a pseudonym, it's clear: music news is wilder than the actual music.

50 Cent vs Starz: Petty Level 9000

The man, the myth, the petty legend—50 Cent—just reminded the entertainment industry that he's not only a rap icon, but also the CEO of “I Told You So, Inc.” After exiting Starz, the cable network reportedly lost $53 million. Fiddy, never one to let a good loss go to waste, posted a savage (and slightly hilarious) Instagram reaction that screamed: "Y'all should’ve listened to me."

Why it matters: This is more than a celebrity feud—this is hip-hop entrepreneurship flexing on a failing traditional media model. 50's move proves once again: in 2025, hip-hop artists aren’t just in the game—they're owning the arena.

Taylor Swift in pearls, a bathtub, and casually name-dropping 50 Cent — ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ really said glamour with a side of gangster references.

Taylor Swift + 50 Cent = 2025’s UnexpectedShip?

You know you’ve made it when Taylor Swift writes about you. And no, not in a “we broke up and now I’m healing with folk guitars” kind of way. On her new album “The Life of a Showgirl,” Swift name-drops 50 Cent in a line that had fans double-taking.

Curtis Jackson (that’s 50 to you), ever the showman, responded with a classy nod and a touch of surprise: "Didn’t see that coming, but thanks, Taylor.”

Genre fusion alert: This is like an academic conference where a punk rock professor suddenly praises Shakespeare. Pop and hip-hop are no longer just collaborating—they’re co-authoring the cultural script.

MGK Launches Album via Snapchat — Because Why Not?

Machine Gun Kelly, never one for subtlety or predictability, dropped his new album “Lost Americana” through Snapchat. That’s right. Not Spotify. Not YouTube. Snapchat.

It’s kind of brilliant. Or completely absurd. Probably both.

Why this matters: MGK is leaning into what we call "platform-native music launches." Artists today aren’t just musicians—they're content strategists, meme dealers, and viral marketers all rolled into one messy, tattooed package.

Is Timothée Chalamet Secretly a UK Rapper?

This is the kind of story that could only exist in 2025: a Reddit conspiracy is gaining traction that Timothée Chalamet, Oscar-nominated heartthrob and cardigan model, is actually EsDeeKid, a masked British rapper with a cult following.

There’s zero solid proof, which, of course, makes it even more believable in our current reality.

Why it's delightful: This rumor lives at the crossroads of pop culture fantasy and hip-hop’s love of alter-egos. Think Slim Shady x Mr. Darcy.

Kehlani pulled up to the charts like a tattooed boss in lace, heels, and heartbreak — ‘Folded’ is the luxury pain anthem we didn’t know we needed.

Chart-Toppers Who Deserve the Spotlight

While the A-listers do their dance, Kehlani and Daniel Caesar are quietly (and tastefully) slaying the charts. Kehlani’s “Folded” climbed into the top 10, while Caesar’s new album hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

Why it matters: These are the artists that blend R&B, pop, and hip-hop into silky little masterpieces. They're not just background noise—they’re redefining what chart success looks like outside the mega-star bubble.
