“He’s never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has,” Fif said. “They could have only one scan and have it count four times. West’s entire career hasn’t sold half what I sold on my first album.”
It’s official, 50 got bodied by Kanye 600k to 430k. The G-Unit General himself couldn’t dip a plaque in gold his first week out -capping off a series of forgettable releases (ex. the only Lloyd worth mentioning in the past year doesn’t wear a G-Unit pendant). In an ironic, Kanye-esque fashion, Mr. 9 Shots is disputing the figures.
Where the f—k was Kenny Chesney at? Dude was allover Billboard Magazine last week, with shoutouts from his people at ASCAP etc. Maybe his people should have spent less time courting the industry and more time with HOV on 106 & Park (which was equal parts tight and awkward btw).
Regardless, the real winner is #1 with a full-clip -Universal Music Group. Looks like they took a page from US Foreign Policy circa 1980.
