50 Cent Threatens Retirement
In 2007 50 Cent threatened to throw away his music career if Kanye West outsold him in record sales. The pair of publicity hounds covered RollingStone magazine together, “faced off” at the MTV VMAs and on an episode of 106 & Park.
Kanye’s Graduation album sold 957,000 copies in its first week compared to 50’s 691,000 sales of Curtis. 50 of course has continued to make music despite being clearly crushed in the sales department.
