50 Cent dislikes Diddy and Jay-Z
The rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – has no desire to be friends with the two music moguls.
When asked if he ever feels competitive towards Diddy and Jay-Z’s business ventures, he replied: “Nah. I don’t even like them.”
The hip-hop star refused to retract his words when it was suggested they could be misconstrued, saying: “I don’t give a f**k.”
50 insisted he “respected” Diddy but won’t be phoning him to ask for advice.
He told hip-hop website SOHH: “In business, I respect what he does. But if we liked each other, we’d call each other to talk for no reason. And me and Puffy, we don’t have conversations.”
Diddy and Jay-Z are not the first to feel 50’s wrath. He has also been involved in a war of words with Kanye West.
The two hip-hop heavyweights are due to do battle in the charts next month when their new albums – 50’s ‘Curtis’ and West’s ‘Graduation – are both released on September 11.
50 is so confident he will win the sales war, he has threatened to quit music if his rival outsells him.
He said: “Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer perform music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.”
