Kanye West, 50 cent showdown on BET
It’ll be a clash of hip-hop titans on Tuesday when Kanye West and 50 Cent meet on the Sept. 11 episode of BET’s 106 & Park, the same day their two highly anticipated albums are released (you’ll remember Fitty said he’d retire if West’s Graduation outsold his Curtis).
ESPN’s Stuart Scott will even appear to provide a statistical analysis of the two heavyweights, the AP reports. But don’t be fooled, there’s no fighting on the card.
“I don’t think it’s a battle, I think it’s a lot of fun,” said Stephen Hill, a VP at BET. “I think Kanye will tell you he moved his date to 50’s date to draw this type of attention, to create this marketing opportunity.” Besides, what if you plan on buying both?
