In a recent interview with the AP, 50 Cent supported Kanye’s decision to keep touring right after the sudden death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
“That’s really an unfortunate situation and I hope he can work his way
through it,” said Fif.
“It’s good to see him actually touring: You can work your way back into
a comfortable space where you can deal with those situations.”
As previously reported Dr. West died after she stopped breathing; numerous rumors speculate that the cause had something to do with complications from recent plastic surgery.
To 50, the situation was reminiscent of the death Lloyd Banks’ father, who died when Banks was on tour. 50 encouraged Banks to focus on his work rather than be paralyzed by grief.
“I was telling him, ‘You need to go back and do what you need to do,’
and he thought maybe I was a little insensitive,” said 50. “But I can definitely understand how that’s a huge loss, and how that would be.”
Although 50 and Kanye were embroiled in a much-hyped Soundscan battle, fans shouldn’t be surprised that 50 offers his condolences to his competition, as he never had ill feelings toward ‘Ye.
“He’s a talented artist. I actually sat with him during the creation of Curtis while he was creating his new album…I never viewed him as an actual enemy; what I was trying to do is build a competition.”
