50 Cent defends Britney Spears

Rapper 50 Cent has defended singer Britney Spears and her performance at this years VMA's. He might have had a little dig at Kanye West in the process but everything he said was true. 50 Cent said the following...

"Kanye expressed that he felt that Britney shouldn't be actually opening the show - almost like he forgot that Britney Spears sold 50 million records," 50 told Ryan Seacrest. "She did. He is not thinking about her full body of work. She deserved to headline the show better than anybody else that was on it - even in the state that she is in."

50 Cent spoke the truth with this one. Britney has achieved so much in the space of about 5 years and Kanye can only dream of having her success. Maybe a Britney and 50 colloboration is on the cards? Haha maybe not...

Any Thoughts/Comments?

50 Cent to "quit" music industry?

50 Cent has said this is a recent interview...

"American rapper 50 Cent has threatened to stop releasing solo material if his next album fails to outsell a new CD by rival star Kanye West.
"Let's raise the stakes," 50 Cent said, as the pair prepared to launch rival albums on the same day next month.
He promised if West's sales beat those of his own release, he would not produce any more solo albums.
He told hip-hop website SOHH.com that he would continue to collaborate with other artists, however.
"If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music," 50 Cent said.
"I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums." "

If this is true, then 50 is really silly. Kanye West hasn't been a rival to 50 Cent before, and he is just going too far now. With Kanye West's single "Stronger" doing really well (#6 US, almost #1 in the UK) and 50 Cent's singles flopping on the Pop & Rap charts, 50 Cent might have to live up to his promise and quit being a solo artist forever... the fool!
