One artist seems to have had enough of the star treatment and canceled his upcoming tour meet-and-greets. Oh, the internet is also up to its old tricks, declaring the most wonky conspiracy theory you can possible imagine. Let’s take a look at all the mess from the past week. Tidy up, folks. – Jon Reyes

You would think an item involving 50 Cent and U.S. Presidential nominee (I know that still sounds crazy, right?) Donald Trump would be one where 50 Cent is trolling us. But actually, Fiddy made some powerful observations and correlations. It might be shade, but whatever, it works. Stay woke. - (Photos from left: Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images for DuJour, Mark Wilson/Getty Images)

In this week’s portion of Drake news, both are bummers. Producer Detail is suing the rapper for allegedly sending goons to beat him up after Detail declined Drake’s offer to exclusively produce for him. This sounds like a major story arc for a Lifetime biopic. - (Photo: Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images)

This week, Michael Jackson news comes in a few forms. The downer: a 2003 police report – collected from a search conducted in November of that year – detailing sordid items the artist kept in his home was released. The items have been interpreted as items used to lure and lower children’s inhibitions. It’s unclear whether these items were submitted as proof during the subsequent trial, so we’re taking this report with a grain of salt. In other news, a new film about the artist’s last days is coming to the big screen. - (Photo: Tim Whitby/Getty Images)
