Here's How Fans Are Reacting to 50 Cent Posting Another Photo of Himself in a ‘Free Diddy' Shirt
50 Cent trolled Diddy on Tuesday night (May 27) when he posted an image of himself on Instagram rocking a 'Free Diddy' T-shirt while sitting courtside at game four between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. The photo itself appears to be Photoshopped or AI-generated with a 'Free Diddy' logo, as 50 posted a similar picture rocking a Balmain T-shirt at the game. 'Bro this game is crazy,' he captioned the 'Free Diddy' shirt photo. More from Billboard 50 Cent Jokes He Needs to 'Lay Low' After Ex-Assistant Testifies About Diddy's 'Problem' With Fif Reneé Rapp Says Her Name Was Designed for Pop Stardom John Butler Returns With New Solo Album 'PRISM' Marshawn 'Beast Mode' Lynch, Tony Yayo and Power actors Gianni Paolo and Kris Lofton had a laugh in the comments section, along with thousands of fans. 'Dis nigga too 2 too funni!!!! YesLawd,' Lynch, a former NFL star, wrote. A fan chimed in, 'I want a t shirt of 50 cent wearing a free diddy t shirt.' Another fan added, '50 already gettin started, wait till he finish that drink!' Billboard has reached out to the rapper's rep for comment. 50 has been relentless in his trolling of Diddy throughout the embattled Bad Boy mogul's sex trafficking and racketeering trial, and it doesn't appear he'll be stopping anytime soon. The G-Unit boss was actually name-dropped during Diddy's trial on Tuesday when a former assistant of Combs', Capricorn Clark, took the stand. Clark claimed that Diddy 'had an issue with 50 Cent.' In typical 50 fashion, the Queens legend made light of the court situation. 'Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I'm gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL,' he wrote to IG. This also wasn't the first time 50 has shared a photo of himself in a 'Free Diddy' shirt. On May 20, the rapper posted an AI-generated image of himself in a black tee featuring the same message and wrote in part for the caption: 'Free itty bitty Diddy! LOL 😆' Diddy's trial is heading into day 10, but is expected to last into July. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, faces a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted on all charges.

Soho's latest burger joint only has Wagyu burgers on the menu
When I think of chef Phillip Frankland Lee, his Michelin-starred tasting menus come to mind, be it sushi in a speakeasy setting at Sushi by Scratch or multi-course, scratch-made pastas at Pasta Bar. But for the past few years, chef Lee has been dipping his toes in the fast-casual realm, jumping on the smashburger trend. But for Lee, his joint has only one burger on the menu, and one burger only—and that burger is Wagyu. And as of today, New York has 'em too. Today, NADC Burger is making its debut in Soho. The eatery, which stands for 'Not a Damn Chance,' comes from a seemingly unlikely duo, as chef Lee teamed up with professional skateboarder Neen Williams. The longtime friends who bonded over skateboarding and eventually cooking, the duo first brought the concept to Austin back in 2022. Now, the mini burger chain has locations in Chicago, Denver and Fort Worth, Texas, with the latest to land right here in NYC. 'What started as two friends chasing the ideal burger has grown into something bigger, and bringing it to New York, a city with so much devotion to food, feels unreal. We can't wait for New York to taste what we've built,' said Neen Williams, co-founder of NADC Burger, in a press release. Only two burgers exist on the menu here: the NADC Burger and a kid's version. The signature smash uses two Wagyu patties with onions pressed right in, layered with American cheese, a swirl of house-made sauce, plus pickles and jalapeños on a toasted potato roll. The kid's version still gets the Wagyu treatment, featuring a singular patty topped with cheese. The only add-on here is the fries, which are fried in beef tallow. Order them plain with chipotle-peppered ketchup for dipping or get the Beast Mode option with melted cheese and special sauce, diced pickles and jalapeños. While most locations only have burgers and fries, the New Yorker location also has brown butter cookies and a chocolate shake. While eating on the go is always an option, there is plenty to see inside the Soho shop. Lee and Williams's affinity for skate culture comes to life here, with custom artwork from local NYC artist Jappy Agoncillo and skateboards previously ridden by Williams mounted on the wall. There's also a corner for merch, including NADC-branded skate decks and Williams's signature NADC Spice Rubs. However, the real treat is the outdoor 50-seat patio, ready to welcome all for burgers alfresco. As of today, the doors to the burger shop are now open. If you happen to stop by this opening weekend, from May 16 to 18, you can get a limited-time ice cream sandwich made by baker Jess Williams and pastry chef Margarita Kallas-Lee.

Seahawks' NFL draft final round: A self-proclaimed ‘Beast Mode 2.0' RB, WR, guard (again)
Damien Martinez breaks tackles. And tackles legacies. It wasn't 30 seconds into his comments to reporters on a speaker call just after the Seahawks drafted him in the seventh round Saturday. Yet the rugged former lead rusher for Oregon State and University of Miami described himself in the legacy of Seattle immortal Marshawn Lynch. 'Physical another 'Beast Mode 2.0' coming up here,' Martinez said. 'Get ready to see it.' 'I was definitely a big fan of 'Beast Mode' growing up, just being always being a bigger back,' he said. 'I'm ready.' With the first of their three picks in the final round, the Seahawks selected the 6-foot, 217-pound back that was fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision last season in yards after contact. He was first-team All-Pac-12 with Oregon State in 2023. He rushed for 1,185 yards, 6.1 yards per carry and nine touchdowns rushing. He romped through the Washington Huskies with 100-yard games in consecutive seasons. 'I know I definitely that I did them bad a couple times,' Martinez said. 'They did end up beating us, though.' At Miami in 2024 he rushed for 1,002 yards with an even-better average of 6.3 yards per rush and 10 TDs. Seattle's lead running back Kenneth Walker is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Walker has yet to play a full season in the NFL because of multiple injuries at the sport's most banged-up position in each of the last three Seahawks years. Backup Zach Charbonnet, the team's second-round pick in 2023, has yet to prove he can be the Seahawks' lead back. Martinez got picked in the same round Seattle drafted running back Kenny McIntosh two years ago. McIntosh is third on the Seahawks' depth chart. New Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak runs an outside, wide-zone running game that Martinez likened to the system he romped in at Oregon State. 'It just means a lot, really, to be drafted in general by the Seahawks. 'Just grateful to have this opportunity.' With their second pick in the seventh round, at 234th overall, Seattle selected another college tackle they are moving to guard: Mason Richman, 6-5, 307 pounds, from Iowa. He is the third college tackle to the Seahawks are making a guard in this draft. Yes, they attacked their biggest need this weekend. Richman said on the phone from his family home in Leawood, Kansas, Saturday afternoon he was a left guard entire freshman season at Iowa. He was a defensive end and tight end in high school. He said he had 'thousands' of snaps at tackle his final years at Iowa. The Seahawks had first-round pick Grey Zabel call Richman to tell him he was in the NFL, a handful of picks before the draft ended. Zabel was in the Seahawks' facility for the first time Saturday, with his parents. He's another college tackle who is going to be Seattle's new starting left guard. Richman said he thought it was a crank call. 'I'm not going to lie, it was getting down to end,' Richman said. 'I just had to believe it was true.' Seattle's third and final pick of the seventh round was their second wide receiver the team drafted Saturday: All-Mountain West wide receiver Ricky White III from UNLV. He's 6-1, 181 pounds. A slower-than-NFL-norm 40-yard dash time of 4.61 seconds dropped him to the final round, at 238th overall. White then went through intense training and improved technique with a speed coach. In a few weeks, at his pro day, he ran a 4.44 40. In his freshman season at Michigan State back in 2020, White set an MSU freshman record with 196 yards on eight catches and a touchdown in a win over Michigan. He redshirted in 2021 at Michigan State, then transferred to UNLV for the 2022 through '24 seasons. He had 79 receptions, 1,041 receiving yards,and 13.2 yards per catch last season for the Rebels. He led the Football Bowl Subdivision with four blocked punts. 'Want-to,' White said Saturday. He said Seahawks wide receiver coach Frisman Jackson told him he loves his game. But White also said he knows he will need to play well on special teams to contribute as a rookie in Seattle.
