50 Cent recently took more shots towards Jay-Z, saying more about how he disagrees with his business practices. 50 has been taking shots at Jay as of late and this has allowed speculation regarding Beanie Sigel joining G-Unit to grow. He also adds that Jay-Z made him not shoot his videos with Freeway.
“I think he completely has his best interests in mind,” 50 told Rolling Stone. “When you commit to working with other artists — I have to be passionate about it. Of course, you want to make money, so you only commit to the things that you’re excited about, that you feel you have the chemistry with or has something there, but after you get past that point, it should be something that you actually want to see win. I tried to collaborate with him on the Freeway project. What I did was Freeway went out and found his publishing deal, and we started the album, and Jay did ‘Big Spender’ and I did ‘Take You to the Top,’ and when it came time to put the record out, he didn’t want to shoot his video, so I’m like, ‘Why am I going to shoot mine? I’m not shooting it. It’s on your label.’ He has a king complex, he thinks he’s fucking Jesus, you know what I mean? This J-Hova shit.”
He went on to add more regarding the Beanie Sigel deal.
“There’s a strong possibility we’re going to be doing it. We’re starting with this song, and the deal structure between me and him is a complete 50 percent profit split. It’s not like an artist deal, like you get 50 percent of everything. For me to deal with Beanie, I’d have to explore the possibility of doing that the entire project, because I wouldn’t want to force him to make commercial music, where he can make decent money — a lot of money — without selling a lot of records, and just let it be what it is. That’s the details, the difference between doing a deal with that artist and other artists.”

Finally he said he’d love to hear Jay-Z’s reply and that Nas won the Jay-Nas battle.
“I’d love for him to say something he’s not supposed to say about me. The difference is the last guy he competed with was Nas, and he lost. Nas just didn’t keep his business intact, and later had to submit and sign under him, so we couldn’t acknowledge that he beat him when they had to compete. I think he got a phobia from that. You know what the most vulnerable space for an artist is? Confusion. So if you think you’re the hottest rapper or the hottest artist, whenever you’re losing and everybody knows it, that could be a confusion point for you, right? That’s what he went through at that time. We don’t know what happens in the future, but we know the facts.“
