Drama at Hot 97's Summer Jam! Again. Get the deets and rumors about the fight that went down during 50's big performance...
50 Cent had Hot 97's Summer Jam 2014 on fire at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey Sunday night (pictured above on stage and backstage) with a G-Unit reunion plus Nas, Fabolous and more. And the rapper, who's coincidentally set to drop his album Animal Ambition on Tuesday, kept it straight gutter.
Once 50 brought out Fab to debut their remix of "Cuffin' Season", ish went down on stage. You probably couldn't tell even if you were there on the scene (like us) or watching the live stream, because 100 dudes were on the stage at that time. But our own sources on the scene tell us that in the midst of mad people being on stage, a fight was going down in the background.
Now here's where details get sketchy. Unconfirmed rumors are circulating that 50's crew allegedly beat up Slowbucks (pictured above). Slowbucks is a duo, so it's unclear as to whether one, both or either were beat up. Apparently, the fight went down ON STAGE...while Fab was on the mic. 50 kept performing during the scuffle.
Here's video thanks to RealTalkNY and All Hip Hop:

You can see one half of Slowbucks (dude in the black tee and gold chain and goatee in the vid) walking up to the front and getting hugs from everyone. But then ish seems to go south when he gets surrounded and you see a scuffle go down. Smells like a setup.
One half of the duo, on the left in the above pic, who actually goes by Slowbucks on IG, says on his profile he's "co-owner of Slowbucks Viral Wear and Lifestyle Brand Curator & Strategist A&R for Epic's SBOE".
Dude's partner is rapper Bucksy Luciano (above right). And the twosome have been running pretty hard with rappers like Nas (who was also on stage during the fight), Dipset and Meek Mill.
Word also has it 50 supposedly got a hold of one of their chains and rocked it during his set (we see multiple chains on Fif with one that could very possibly be from the pic above).
Here's a (very) possible reason 50's crew may have hemmed up Slowbucks on stage. We all know the drama that popped off between 50 and rapper Trav during Meek Mill's performance at the Mixshow Live Summit in Atlanta last year. Meek had to break it up and stop the two from going at it.
Fast forward to this past April at SOB's.
Trav, Slow Bucks, Bucksy Luciano snapped a picture with Marquise, 50's son. With a middle finger up. The origin of the beef between Trav (and now Slowbucks) and 50 is unknown, but we ALL know the hoopla surrounding the relationship between Curtis Jackson and his son. 50 apparently didn't take kindly to his enemies fraternizing with his youngin'. So he commented on the picture with a not-so-subtle warning that said, "This picture was a Bad idea."
Slowbucks removed the pic. But it's still up on Trav's page.
As for why Slowbucks thought it would be a good idea to trek his ass on to the Summer Jam stage Sunday night...during 50's set...as if everything was peachy keen is beyond us.
50 said more than once while on stage, "I like this hood sh*t. I like this ghetto sh*t." And ghetto and hood it was.
Everything ended when the crews (those who WEREN'T actually rapping) were taken off stage. And eventually, 50's mic got cut off because he was going over time.
Stay tuned. Pics and more deets to follow....
