You’ve seen the names popping up together in searches for years. It’s a weirdly specific pairing that feels like a glitch in the celebrity matrix. On one side, you have 50 Cent—the G-Unit mogul, the guy who survived nine shots and went on to dominate TV with Power. On the other, there is Nicki Nicole. But which one?
That’s where things get kinda messy.
The internet has a habit of folding two completely different women into the same search query, leading to a lot of "wait, what?" moments. Most people are either looking for the Argentine trap queen who dated Peso Pluma, or they’re digging up old reality TV drama involving a Black Ink Crew: Chicago star. Honestly, both stories are wild, but they don't involve the same person.
The Night in Atlanta: 50 Cent and the "Black Ink" Nikki
Back in 2019, rumors absolutely exploded. People weren't talking about Latin Grammys back then; they were looking at grainy club footage from Atlanta.
Nikki Nicole—real name Nicole Nikki Howell—was a staple on VH1’s Black Ink Crew: Chicago. She had just gone through a very public, very messy breakup with her co-star Phor after some "nude video" drama that played out for the cameras. Enter Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.
The two were spotted together at Club Vlive. It wasn't just a casual "hey, how are you" situation. 50 was seen handing over stacks of cash, and the body language was... suggestive. Fans went nuts. One viral clip showed 50 getting into a spat with an aspiring rapper who tried to hand him a demo while he was clearly busy with Nikki.
"You can't just walk up on a man while he's on a date," was the general sentiment from the security guards that night.
They were seen together a few more times. 50 even commented on her Instagram photos with those classic "eyes" emojis. But like most of Fif’s rumored flings, it fizzled out without a formal press release. She moved on, he moved on, and the reality TV history books tucked it away under "Season 5 Rumors."
The Argentine Star: Is There a Nicki Nicole Collab?
Fast forward to today, and if you type "Nicki Nicole" into a search bar, you're almost certainly looking for the girl from Rosario, Argentina. She’s a global powerhouse. She’s the one who made history as the first Argentine artist on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
So, has she worked with 50 Cent?
Not exactly.
There’s a lot of confusion because 50 Cent did recently dive back into the Latin music scene. In 2023, he hopped on the track "Si Salimos" with Eladio Carrión. Since Nicki Nicole is part of that same elite circle of Latin urban artists, people naturally assumed a collaboration was in the works or already existed.
They haven't shared a booth yet. But the link isn't as crazy as it sounds. 50 Cent has a long history of respect for Latin artists—think back to his work with Wisin & Yandel. Nicki Nicole, meanwhile, has been racking up features with everyone from Christina Aguilera to Bizarrap. If 50 wants to stay relevant in the streaming world, a "Naiki" feature would be a massive power move.

Why These Two Keep Getting Linked
Basically, it’s an SEO trap.
- The Namesake: Having two Nikki Nicoles in the public eye (one in reality TV, one in global music) creates a digital Venn diagram of confusion.
- The 50 Cent Influence: 50 has been vocal lately about other "Nickis." He famously trolled Jay-Z using AI images of Nicki Minaj. When he talks about "Nicki," the search engines sometimes pull in the Argentine singer instead of the Queen of Rap.
- Kayla Nicole Drama: Recently, 50 Cent made headlines for commenting on Travis Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole. Again, another "Nicole" in the 50 Cent orbit.
It’s a perfect storm of similar names and one rapper who loves to stay in the middle of a trending topic.
What’s Next for the Argentine Nicki Nicole?
If you're here because you're a fan of the singer, she’s busy with much bigger things than 2019 club rumors. After her high-profile split from Peso Pluma and a brief, buzzy relationship with soccer star Lamine Yamal (which reportedly ended in late 2025), she’s focused on her "Alma" era and her 2024 album Naiki.
She’s currently one of the most-streamed women in the world. She’s winning Latin Grammys. She’s proving that you don’t need a G-Unit co-sign to run the charts.
The Actionable Takeaway:
If you see a headline linking these two today, check the photo. If it’s a tattoo artist from Chicago, you’re looking at 2019 news. If it’s the girl with the signature flow from Rosario, keep your ears open—a remix could always happen in this "collab-heavy" industry, but as of right now, it’s just internet noise.
Follow Nicki Nicole’s official Spotify for real-time updates on her features, and maybe keep an eye on 50’s Instagram—though, let's be real, he’s probably just going to post another meme about Power.
