Kanye West says that the battle he had with 50 Cent was a publicity stunt that he dreamed up in order to sell more albums. Although the two rappers went up against each other in September when their albums were released on the same day, the rivalry was West's idea in which he came out as the winner.
Kanye fessed up to GQ magazine saying:
"It was a complete publicity stunt. It was my idea. I knew it was going to take off as soon as we were going to come out on the same date. Think about it - you got the two biggest s**t-talkers in rap history. There's no-one in rap history for talking more s**t than me and 50. That's something I will stand on."
Kanye also talks about Fiddy's vow to retire if he lost:
"Oh man, he sold so many more records by saying that. Man, 50 is really one of my favourite rappers, too. I almost feel bad (about beating him)."
This isn't too surprising that it was all a publicity stunt eh? It actually worked for them, but now that he admitted to it, it does make them both sound like a bunch of a**holes to do that to their fans. Maybe they were worried no one would have otherwise bought their music without the big lie. Even rappers can be really insecure.
