22/1/09 Kanye Responds To 50 Cents Insults

Kanye West is speaking out about 50 Cents recent insults of his music and comments on his sexuality. "Just as a real human being, I can't say that it doesn't affect me," Ye said. "He was my favorite rapper since Mase when he dropped, and when I used to be around him, he was one of the few people that I was like really fan of -- I'm not here to beef with anybody. I'm trying to bring people together. I realize that my success and my mouth and everything rub people the wrong way every now and then, but I'm not finna have beef with anybody. I really walk around by myself. Like, I don't wear jewelry. Like all these people are like he's so arrogant, blah, blah, blah. I'm not arrogant, I'm just truthful."

50 took a shot at Kanye's sexual orientation with his "Play This On The Radio" track, calling him a "faggot." Later at a concert 50 told the crowd "I want to perform for you the first single off my album Before I Self Destruct. I hope you all enjoy this." Kanye's "Love Lockdown" beat started and the G-Unit general mockingly lip-synched till about half way through then the beat stopped and 50 said "You see that. That's what you're stuck with," adding "I'm willing to accept your apologies for that last one."
