G-Unit leader 50 Cent mase history in a big way this week. His first album "Get Rich Or Die Trying" hit the 8 times platinum mark this week, 8 years after it’s release in February 2003.

GRODT is the fourth best-selling rap album off all time, behind Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP which has moved 10,341,000 copies, and The Eminem Show, that has sold 9,928,000 CD’s. GRODT follows the sucess of Nelly’s Country Grammar which currently stands 8,489,000 copies sold.

Congrats 50! He has really proven to be a force in hip-hop. Hope his widely anticipated next album Black Magic can live up to GRODT's success.

On Friday, we reported that New York DJ Funkmaster Flex was arrested for aggravated harassment. The "mystery" woman that he allegedly pushed has been identified as his wife of 11-years Monica Joseph-Taylor.

Monica, a former producer for the Regis and Kelly show, told press: "We're doing okay. I would love everyone to respect the privacy of my family - for me and my children," after being asked to explain what took place at the couple's upscale Westchester home Friday evening.

According to the New York Daily News, the fight erupted at about 5 a.m. inside the couple's bedroom. It was sparked by threatening text messages Flex sent his wife Thursday night.

Funkmaster Flex was charged with three counts of criminal mischief and harassment, and released on $500 bail. While dee-jaying Friday night in New Jersey, Flex said,

"Yes, we had words," Flex said. "Yes, there was an argument. Yes, there was a phone broken. Yes, there were police called. I love my fans, and I encourage all of them to work things out in their own marriages."

Flex is no stranger to controversy has been viewed as a bully for years. Hope the couple can work things out.
