G-Unit superstar is famously outspoken. While 50 Cent was a flagship star for Interscope Records throughout the early and mid ’00s, last year the Queens, New York emcee moved his G-Unit imprint to EMI Distribution. Although 50 Cent has remained cordial with Eminem and Dr. Dre, the rapper took to Twitter this evening, to reveal tensions with Dre and Interscope’s head, Jimmy Iovine. The root of the conflict reportedly comes by way of 50 Cent launching a headphone line, Sleek By 50 Cent, making himself competition with the popular Beats By Dre line that Iovine and the Aftermath iconic producer famously launched years ago.
Jimmy iovine and dre mad at me cause I’m doing sleek by 50.
