50 Cent defends Britney against Kanye
16/09/2007 - 10:13:47

Rapper 50 Cent has hit back at Kanye West for criticising Britney Spears' lacklustre performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, insisting the hip-hop star should not take out his anger on the troubled singer.

West recently slammed MTV's decision to let Spears open Sunday's awards ceremony ahead of himself, claiming the Toxic hitmaker was "not ready" to make her pop comeback.

But 50 Cent believes West is just jealous of all the attention Spears has been receiving.

He tells American DJ Ryan Seacrest: "(West) was upset, he's not used to being recognised. Period.

"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. 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."

Behind the violnce he's shown he's a better man than I thought he is.

Bullshit defending bullshit to bullshit.

You dead on man. 50 know he is no match for kanye on the mike, so he challenged him to a record sales duel. Get the fk out of here. If 50 is as great as he think he is, challenge kanye to a duel on the mike. Kanye will wear his wack ass out on the mike like a crack ho in compton.

Fiddy seems to be really good at spin and PR....He is somewhere in between surprisingly thoughtful to totally full of shit.. but Kanye, not so much and for whatever talent people think he has, he seems to have little to know personality. If 50 retires from music, maybe he can start a PR firm for rappers.
