50 Cent: 'No One Knew Who Jay-Z Was Until He Married Beyonce'
Published: Friday - September 26, 2008
Words by Miles Bennett

50 Cent is known for talking slick about other rappers. While usually there's a beef behind it, he's doesn't shy away from taking jabs at here and there if he feels the need.

Fiddy recently decided to take a lil swipe Jay-Z, in saying that the former Def Jam Prez wasn't a big name outside the U.S. until he tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Beyonce.

According to LiveSteez.com, the rapper claims that it wasn't until Jay made it official with Beyonce that others outside the States began to take notice of him.

"I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the States and hip-hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce," 50 said.

He didn't stop there either. Despite Jay-Z coming in right behind him on Forbes' recent Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, 50 says Jay isn't as worth as much as people think. Some estimate Jay being worth close to $1 billion, but 50 says no way.

"I don't believe he's worth that much. It's all been exaggerated. I'm comfortable. I don't want for anything, so I'm not in a race," he said.

According to Forbes, Fiddy raked in a whopping $150 million over the last 12 months, compared to Jay-Z's $82 million, which put him in second.

GodToYouKids22 · 09-26-2008, 08:43 AM

this nukka 50 doesnt stop talkin lolol

B-boy · 09-26-2008, 09:19 AM

If they didn't know who he was before he got married they probably still don't. And those people probably don't know who 50 cent is either :P But it's true he got more media coverage outside of the states and hiphop circles when he got married. Cuz then different media outlets like gossip magazines began to run articles on him 'n b. So you didn't have to care for hiphop to read about him. There he was right next to britney spears. So I can see where 50 is coming from. But why make such bold statements out of the blue? Could it be he has an album coming soon? Hmmmm. Remember, all publicity is good publicity to 50. He don't care what you say, as long as it's about him.

Cro-Soldier · 09-26-2008, 09:26 AM
