Much was made about 50 Cent's dramatic weight loss earlier this year for an acting role that required the muscle-bound rap star to lose more than 50 pounds.

But there's been little information about how the fit G-Unit head managed to put the weight back on. Fif sat down with the women of "The View" on Tuesday and revealed to the hosts what his very first meal was post-production.

"I remember specifically what the first thing was, because I was starving," he laughed. "I had a steak. It was 12 ounces, but I got about four ounces in before I started getting sleepy."

50 Cent  is known for getting involved in beef with other hip-hop artists, and at least one of the star's followers appears to have been influenced by the rapper's aggro persona.

Rapper 50 Cent had a scare when a fan stormed the stage at a show in Brazil.The fan rushed the stage and launched himself at 'Fiddy' before the rapper's sidekick Lloyd Banks stepped in to save him.Banks wrestled the man to the ground before he and security staff got him off the stage.

50 Cent – who has launched a petition against fellow rapper P Diddy because he feels his rival is exploiting the memory of Notrious B.I.G - wasted no time getting on with the show and continued performing his track ‘Ayo Technology’.

50 Cent is back on the attack — and he’s taking aim at Diddy. 50 Cent and Rick Ross had their war of words over a year ago, but the G-Unit boss’ animosity hasn’t died, it’s been redirected at Diddy.

On July 7, the rapper launched a Twitter-based petition through his affiliate site, BooBooTV, against Diddy, attacking the hip-hop mogul for what 50 called an exploitation of the late Notorious B.I.G.“

Enough is enough, Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card. Just check out his latest video ‘The Ghost of Christopher Wallace.’ Let Diddy know to let B.I.G. rest in peace.” 50 wrote in the petition, titled “R.I.P. B.I.G. –  “When was the last time Diddy really was ‘biggin up his brother,’ not biggin up his bank?”

In the words of one Rap Radar commenter, “50 must have a new album coming out…”Yes, 50’s “twitition” is either a desperate ploy for attention, or a sign that he’s been hiding under a rock for quite some time… which would again imply why he’s trying his best to get people to listen to him.

There’s no question Diddy’s nabbed a fair share of his fame using Biggie’s name. But that’s been happening since Diddy dropped his first record under the name “Puff Daddy” back in ‘97. Names have changed, but his love, infatuation and constant use of B.I.G. for his own benefit has largely stayed the same.

Rapper 50 Cent has opened another front against Diddy after dissing him last week and calling him a bitch. Last week 50 Cent told shade 45 radio station:”Puffy is a bitch. He wanted to be the hot bitch in his group… You know how an ugly bitch surrounds herself with pretty girls? Well, he is the pretty bitch with the other girls around him.

He also said “He will suck the life out of everyone he is around.”In the petition 50 Cent says: Enough is enough, Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card. Just check out his latest video “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace” http://www.bit.ly/jay-diddy Let Diddy know to let B.I.G. rest in peace. When was the last time Diddy really was “biggin up his brother,” not biggin up his bank? So far 449 people signed the petition.

50 Cent is speaking out against rumors that he has signed a new deal with Capitol Records. In response to statements made by Capitol big-wig Craig Davis, the G-Unit MC said, "He's a idiot, and there's no deal done." Last week, Davis proclaimed that Fiddy had just inked a deal with Capitol and that he was happy to be finished with Interscope.

"50 felt he needed to get out of the Interscope machine, and he wanted a change," Davis said during a radio interview. "So he got his release from there and we were in negotiations with him. The deal just got signed very recently. A Lloyd Banks cut will probably be first, and then 50 Cent is gonna come out later on."

Now, however, the rapper is claiming he would rather retire as an Interscope artist than continue on making records for Capitol saying, "Out of nowhere he comes out, and you can tell he's drunk or some s**t. All the success I've had has been with Interscope."

Been only weeks after his scandalous skeletal picture took over Twitter, but now we’re glad to see Curtis Jackson a.k.a. 50 Cent at his best.  The rapper dropped 54 pounds for his role in the upcoming movie, “Things Fall Apart” -we hope he gets the Oscar nod, and now he’s back to rapping.

This July, you can catch 50 Cent and his troops at Brazil.  Word is he’ll also play some tracks from his upcoming album “Black Magic” to test the water. In his recent phone interview with Brazil’s UOL Music, Jackson expressed his excitement on his upcoming tour and how he’d leak some of his new songs. This is the excerpt of the interview:You will come with the tour “The Invitation”, which is based on the album “Before I Self Destruct.” Will also play new stuff?
