50 Cent is in a New York state of mind on the cover of his first Gangsta Grillz mixtape The Lost Tape, hosted by DJ Drama. The free project, which has spawned a remix to 2 Chainz’ “Riot” and “Remain Calm” with Snoop Dogg and Precious Paris, was pushed back from May 15 to May 22. The G-Unit mogul will debut new material later today on Funkmaster Flex’s Hot 97 show.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. celebrated his win over Cotto at Saturday’s fight with some hip-hop heavyweights and a pop megastar. The undefeated champ took his victory lap in Las Vegas with 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Justin Bieber, who walked him to the ring and held his title belts.

The “Boyfriend” singer spoke highly of his friend Floyd in a recent interview. “He’s the best boxer in the world,” he told V magazine. “When everyone else just chills and doesn’t work out because they are not fighting, he’s in there punching the bags because he wants to be the best. He wants to be better than Muhammad Ali, and that’s what he’s striving to be.”

When he’s not on stage, the Biebs enjoys boxing. “Me and my friends box all the time,” he said. “My dad is a fighter so he taught me some stuff growing up, and he’s a great fighter, so I’m a pretty good boxer.”

Other fight night sightings included Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Birdman, and Jermaine Dupri.

Joan Rivers gets a fix of 50 Cent in the humorous commercial for his Street King energy drink. “Hit me 50!” says the comedienne, who gets a boost after downing a shot and comes onto him. “I got the energy for you, 5-0. You game?”

“I tried to put together the odd team, not the A-team,” the G-Unit mogul told “Access Hollywood.” “It has a lot of different layers to it for something that has to happen in 30 seconds.”

The 78-year-old star hit the gym wearing “athletic-inspired diva wear” including a $75,000 chinchilla coat. “The premise of the commercial is I have no energy, I drink the drink, and I’m ready for fun,” explained Rivers, who gave herself the nickname 34 Cent.
