A Mexico getaway sounds pretty perfect right about now for anyone, and actress Taraji P. Henson made all of our dreams a reality recently when she hit up Cabo San Lucas for a much-needed baecation with fiancé Kelvin Hayden for Valentine’s Day.

After braving the brutal NYC winter late last month while still keeping it fly from head to toe (seen above), the Empire actress decided to shed some clothes while visiting Nobu Los Cabos resort in a black one-piece bathing suit that had the entire internet in awe. While the sexy get-up was one thing, the fact that Taraji is 49 years old and turning 50 later this year proved that you can be stunning at any age given the right attitude and positive energy surrounding you. It doesn’t hurt that she was also there getting some V’Day love from her soon-to-be-husband, or the fact that she’s a multimillion-grossing Hollywood star, but that body deserves praise regardless of the blessing. It goes without saying, but it must be nice!

Check out Taraji P. Henson’s stunning bathing suit pics below, in addition to a few more photos from her Valentine’s Day getaway trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with fiancé Kelvin Hayden:

50 Cent‘s newly-launched ABC series For Life has the show’s executive producer reaching out to Empire’s Taraji P. Henson following the show’s debut. According to Nielson Social Content Ratings, For Life had a record-breaking debut this week. 50 Cent shared a text message exchange revealing his show was the “#1 most social series premiere of any primetime entertainment program on broadcast or cable so far this season.” As Fif’s success in the TV industry continues, he took this very moment to let Taraji know that he’s trying to work with her. “alright, alright, alright. see tell @tarajiphenson i want to work with her LOL,” 50 Cent wrote. 

Fif and Taraji had a bit of a back-and-forth last month after the TV exec. and rapper took a few shots at her by comparing a picture of her to Cookie Jackson. Taraji clearly took offense to it, along with 50 Cent’s general beef with Empire since he looks at the show as competition but that didn’t stop the trolling. With 50 Cent’s ever-expanding resume as a TV executive, he trolled Taraji P. Henson even further when he revealed that he just sold FOX a show that would be replacing Empire.

Following the death of Kobe Bryant, 50 Cent that he’d be focusing on himself and his work, vowing that he is “not arguing with anyone anymore.” Clearly, that promise was short-lived. 

Earlier today, 50 Cent responded to comments that Taraji P. Henson made about him on a recent episode of T.I.’s “expediTIously” podcast. Henson was discussing how a few years ago, Fifty tried to spark competition between the show he executive produces, Power, and the show she stars in, Empire. He called out Empire for stealing Power‘s marketing model and as is the case whenever something ticks off 50 Cent, he didn’t let it go very easily. Henson, on the other hand, thought the rivalry was totally uncalled for. “Our show has nothing to do with his show, we’re talking two different subject matters,” Henson told T.I. “Does he understand what I did to get here? Why tear down another black person for competition? There are a million other shows he can compete with? And to do that publically, it’s embarrassing.”

As one could have predicted, Fif’s reaction to this comment was not too pleasant. His message on Instagram appeared to be apologetic at first, but turned out to be pretty antagonistic. “I love your work and I think you are amazing,” he wrote. “I’m sorry no one is watching your show anymore. I realize I have to work on the fact that I have less empathy then others. I have met with the top executives at Fox and sold them(The Notorious Cop) It’s the show that is replacing yours.” 

With some follow-up IG posts, Fifty has provided more details about his show that will supposedly steal Empire‘s shine. One particular detail that he shared may cause Henson some embarrassment – at least that seems to be his intention. T.I. is apparently involved with this forthcoming Fox series. “TIP Is already signed on, don’t fucking play wit me i’m out here,” Fifty captioned a photo of The Notorious Cop‘s book cover. So, 50 and Tip are teaming up to present the TV adaptation of “the inside story of the Tupac, Biggie, and Jam Master Jay Investigations from NYPD’s first ‘hip-hop’ cop.” 50 must think this news turns the tables on Henson, who complained to T.I. about 50 jacking the spotlight from another predominantly black production. 

As if 50 hadn’t gone in on Henson enough for the day, he shared ANOTHER photo of her with former Empire co-star, Jussie Smollett. He penned another villainous caption: “i didn’t destroy your show it destroyed itself. i hope you accept my sincere apology, forever your fan and friend Fofty. ps i’m looking forward to working with you, or watching you watch me work.”

There’s a whole history to the feud between 50 Cent and Taraji P. Henson over their respective TV series, Power and Empire. It goes back a few years, when Fifty called out Empire for copying Power‘s marketing scheme. From that point forward, Fifty framed the show he executive produces as the competitor of the show that Henson stars in. 

The hatchet was buried for some time, as the programs embarked on their own successful paths, but this week, the rivalry was rehashed. Henson commented on Fifty’s petty behaviour during her recent appearance on T.I.’s “expediTIously” podcast. “Our show has nothing to do with his show, we’re talking two different subject matters,” she said. “Does he understand what I did to get here? Why tear down another black person for competition? There are a million other shows he can compete with? And to do that publically, it’s embarrassing.”

Fif, never one to leave a shot unaddressed, took to Instagram today to pen a backhanded apology to Henson. “I saw @tarajiphenson on @troubleman31 podcast, this is my sincere apology I did not mean to hurt your feelings in anyway,” he wrote. “I love your work and I think you are amazing. I’m sorry no one is watching your show anymore.”

After sliding in that jab, he goes back to feigning remorse. “I realize I have to work on the fact that I have less empathy then others. I have met with the top executives at Fox and sold them(The Notorious Cop) it’s the show that is replacing yours.” 

He then expresses his willingness to collaborate with Henson on a project, but he pitches the idea as if she has no other choice but to accept if she hopes to succeed. “But I really want to work with you. I mean your awesome we would work well together. But if you don’t like the idea I understand. If you don’t roll with me, your gonna get rolled the f*ck over.”

Her time as Cookie Lyons is coming to a close, and many are wondering what’s next for Academy Award-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson. We’re sure that Taraji isn’t hurting for roles as she’s one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actresses, but if it were up to Pat Houston, Taraji would be a shoo-in to portray the late Whitney Houston the forthcoming biopic.

On Thursday, we reported that Clive Davis, the music mogul responsible for discovering Whitney, was planning a biopic about the singer’s life. Although Lifetime aired the Angela Bassett directed biopic back in 2015, Davis told the Los Angeles Times that he doesn’t feel like there has been a film—biopic or documentary—that has accurately told Whitney’s life story. So, in turn, he’s going to do it himself.

Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and the executor to her estate, spoke with TMZ about Clive’s film and named who she would want to see helm the lead role. The cameraman asked Pat if she’d heard about Clive’s plans. “You think he’s doing this alone?” Pat asked with a smile. “We’re apart of it also… Clive has been, professionally, a wonderful person, personally, a wonderful person. We have a relationship. If there’s anything that we can do for him or him for us, it’s done.”

Pat added that she couldn’t share who the persons they have in mind to play Whitney because “that’s a secret.” She wouldn’t say a word, so the cameraman threw out the name Jennifer Hudson. “To play who?” she said with a little shade. “Whitney,” the cameraman replied. Without hesitation, Pat kept the conversation moving and said, “I love Taraji Henson. I love Taraji… Taraji’s my girl.” Pat added, “I can’t really talk about the biopic… You asked me who would I like. I like Taraji.” Can you see Taraji taking on the role of Whitney?

When 50 Cent is on one, it’s hard to knock him down and we’ve seen the latter proven time and time over when it comes to the numerous victims of his trolling behavior. As we know, 50 Cent is proud AF of his Power series so when it comes to other beloved shpws such as Empire, he’s not shy about knocking the show any way he can. More recently, 50 Cent went for the show’s lead actress, Taraji P. Henson when he re-shared a photo of the actress agreeing that she looks like the lost sibling of Michael Jackson.

Taraji recently paid a visit to T.I.‘s Expeditiously podcast and shared a few words on 50 Cent and his behaviour when it comes to other successful black stars. “Our show has nothing to do with his show, we’re talking two different subject matters,” she said. “Does he understand what I did to get here? Why tear down another black person for competition? There are a million other shows he can compete with? And to do that publically, it’s embarrassing.”

Before the new year, 50 Cent claimed that he would be more positive. “All self-destructive devices should be turned off at this time. All negativity, hurt and discouragement should be put away. Should we lose Altitude under pressure during the flight, reach up and pull down a Prayer,” he wrote. Let’s hope he pulls through on his word.
