In 2007, 50 Cent made a shocking statement when he revealed he had dropped Olivia from G-Unit Records. At the peak of his feud with Ja Rule, 50 Cent signed Olivia to serve as his "Ashanti." Despite being brutally dissed by 50 Cent and his associates, Ja Rule made a strong comeback in 2004 and 50 Cent countered with Olivia.

50 Cent had a strong year, in 2005, when he released his album and the hit single, "Candy Shop." The song featured Olivia on the hook and was embedded in the brain of many fans. At the time, it seemed as if the future was very bright for Olivia. She had a previous record deal with J Records, but things did not work out for her.

Two years into her time at G-Unit, Olivia was dropped from the label, but 50 Cent said there was no beef. However, before the end of 2007, 50 Cent dissed Olivia, saying she likely had a sexual relationship with Missy Elliott. While Olivia denied having a sexual relationship with Missy Elliott, there were rumors that she and 50 Cent had something going on.

When asked about her relationship with 50 Cent, Olivia said they kept it professional at all times. However, when she was asked about her departure from G-Unit Records, Olivia said she has not been completely paid for her time with the label. Olivia said she and 50 Cent have talked several times about the money he owes her and she said he will be paying her back.

Ever since she made the jump from "American Idol" contestant to superstar status, there have been rumors about Jennifer Hudson. Her big break came in 2006, when she outshined Beyonce in the film, Dreamgirls. Hudson quickly became a personality.

In 2008, Jennifer Hudson's life came together after she signed with J Records. After signing with the label, Hudson released her debut album. Around the same time, she began dating reality TV star, "Punk." Right when she had everything she wanted, her world fell apart.

Hudson was preparing to move her family out of Chicago when they were brutally murdered. Her mother and her nephew were murdered by her sister's ex-boyfriend. It was then when rumors of why this happened began. For years, there have been rumors of all of the celebrities being a part of the Illuminati cult and many people speculated that Jennifer Hudson had joined.

Following the birth of her son, these rumors intensified. Jennifer Hudson has kept quiet about the rumors until recently. She said she is not a part of Illuminati and she is insulted that people would think so. Hudson feels it is the people's way of saying she does not belong where she is at, as if she did not work hard for it. If anyone is a part of the cult, Hudson feels it is the people who do not make it and they sit back and create rumors about the talented people like her.

Jennifer Hudson said it is their way of finding new followers and she warned the people not to entertain stories about Illuminati. She is preparing for the release of her second album, I Remember Me, which will be released on March 22. Her R. Kelly-written single, "Where You At," was released this week and is gaining radio play.

Outside of her career with Floetry, Marsha Ambrosius has been very popular in the rap community. She has provided hooks for many of the top rappers in the game. Despite all of her work for other people, she has yet to release her own solo music. Last year, she began working on her debut album, Late Nights, Early Mornings.

Last year, she released her single, "Hope She Cheats on You." The single has become quite an anthem for the scorned females. Still, it has not been enough to land a secure release date. Initially, the album was set for a November release date. Despite the promotion being there and fans waiting the album was delayed.

When she first began her solo career, Marsha signed with Dr. Dre and Aftermath Entertainment. She felt Dr. Dre would help put her career on the fast track. However, when they began working, it was taking Dr. Dre a long time to begin working on her projects. Tired of waiting, Marsha Ambrosius left the label and began working with J Records, who signed her on the spot.

Ironically, Marsha is having the same struggles with them. The album was dealyed from November to January and with the month almost over, the album is prepared to be released on March 1, 2011.
