"50 CENT - 50 CENT: 'JAY-Z WAS NOTHING BEFORE BEYONCE'
50 CENT has taken a sly swipe at rap rival JAY-Z, insisting the 99 PROBLEMS hitmaker was a "no one" until he wed BEYONCE KNOWLES.
Superstar Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, wed the Bootylicious beauty in April (08), and 50 Cent claims it was their union - not the rap mogul's music - that raised his profile on the international scene.
He says, "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."
The In Da Club rapper has also disputed reports that Jay-Z is worth an estimated $1 billion (GBP540 million), but is adamant he's not jealous of his fortune.
He adds, "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."
50 Cent recently topped Forbes magazine's poll as the biggest earning hip-hop star of 2008, making $150 million (GBP81 million) in the last 12 months, compared to Jay-Z, who came second with $82 million (GBP44 million)."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Again with this shit? Message To 50 Cent: Y.O.U. are becoming boring and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too predictable homie. Cut the crap and start making good music ... period.
While we're on the subject though, Jay-Z had better drop more than a glorified weed-breaker-upper-platter this time around as well ... don't follow up a banger like "American Gangster" with some weak "just-married" bullshit.
