Marilyn Van Alstyne transformed her love of music into a full time job.

Currently the CEO and founder of EMVE Management Group, Van Alstyne, began her journey as an intern with Puff Daddy’s Bad Boy Entertainment in 1995.

Her point of entry came after hearing Puff pitch his need for interns on the airwaves of New York City’s Hot 97.

A Queens, NY native, Van Alstyne formerly held the position of VP of Branded Entertainment, Planning, Operations & Talent Partnerships at Combs Enterprises Blue Flame Ad Agency. At her post there, she was a trusted advisor and go-to person that handled the day-to-day operations of Revolt TV, Sean John, Blue Flame, Bad Boy Records and Combs Wines & Spirits. She also worked with some of your favorite stars like Rick Ross, Fabolous, French Montana and Meek Mill.

Check out Marilyn Van Alstyne and Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson on Scoop B Radio.

Working in a male-dominated field, Van Alstyne encourages young women that one day hope to do what she does to manage their time effectively. “You don’t want to wake up one day in your forties and regret the decisions that you made in your twenties,” she said.

“You can always start over in your forties, but you might want to challenge yourself to do something new every day—even the things that scare you.”

50 Cent, G-Unit’s biggest bully, is always one to ruffle feathers and never back down from throwing blows to his rivals, and this time is no different as he attacks P. Diddy. Fresh off the release of his drop “Bring My Bottles” (which also features guest appearances from Young Buck and Tony Yayo) comes 50 Cent’s usually bullying of the most popular figures in Hip Hop, and now he’s publicly poked fun at Puffy and his line of Vodka “Ciroc” on Instagram.

50 Cent is back clowning on P. Diddy, bringing up an extremely old picture of Puffy dubbing on a thick woman in the club with the words “Damn…50’s right, I’m EFFEN up right now” with a Facebook link at the bottom directing viewers to the EFFEN Vodka profile.

We’re assuming that Fif’s stunts are all just a ploy to promote the EFFEN Vodka line, a brand of Vodka he seems to be heavily influencing since his Instagram is flooded with pictures of the bottles’ designs.

the EFFEN take over starts NOW. I need new director’s to post a link of there reels.# 50cent let’s work @effenvodka
