During Usher's Lovers and Friends Festival, 50 Cent brought out BIA as a special guest. Despite the drama leading up to the festival between Chris Brown and festival organizer Usher, there were many wholesome link-ups. During Fif's set at the nostalgic Hip-Hop festival, he showed love to the new school by bringing out BIA so she could play a few songs. Attendees captured the moment of the Get Rich or Die Tryin' mogul embracing the "Best On Earth" rapper. 50 Cent was hyping up the Boston native as she slapped the crowd with all her hits.
Furthermore, it's nice to see 50 show love to the up-and-coming artists now and again. However, that wasn't the only wholesome connection Fif made while at the Lovers and Friends Festival. 50 Cent, N.O.R.E., and Nelly all were scheduled to perform at the festival. N.O.R.E.'s had a quick set on the Crunk Stage. Nelly was scheduled to be on the Friends Stage in the afternoon. Meanwhile, 50 was kicking his set off on the Lovers Stage evening slot.

Moreover, while it was a more than busy day for all three rap icons, they still made time to link. The three joked about their early beginnings for a minute. However, N.O.R.E. had to let them both know jokingly that he felt he was the first one that put them on causing laughter amongst the group. Furthermore, aside from playing festivals with his contemporaries, 50 Cent has been busy with new business ventures. Recently, the POWER creator has teamed up with Shaq and Kenya Barris to buy BET. The bids for the network have been flooding in viciously. One of the highest bidders, Tyler Perry, set to buy as much of BET as he could.
However, the power trio set to purchase the entire television network in a joint venture. Reportedly the bid is being financed by investment firm CVC. Not only that, the bid has now become the frontrunner to buy BET. Sources told TMZ that it wasn't a done deal just yet, however, they're deep in the process.
