Kanye West: 50 Cent’s Insults Hurt
January 23rd, 2009
Kanye West has responded to the raft of insults 50 Cent has been throwing his way recently revealing, “I can’t say that it doesn’t affect me.”
The two have been embroiled in a battle on and off the charts, with 50 Cent mocking his rap counterpart onstage and taking shots at him personally in recent months.
“Just as a real human being, I can’t say that it doesn’t affect me,” West told Bossip.com. “I was such a fan of 50… 50 is one of those rappers that I said was the end-all-be-all of what rap what supposed to be. Like, a true iconic rapper. ”
He adds, “He was my favorite rapper since Mase when he dropped, and when I used to be around him, he was one of the few people that I was, like, really a fan of. I was nervous in the studio working on beats and hoping that I could do a good beat for him… So, for me as a fan of him, I felt like if he said something negative and tried to make it like I’m negative, it’s almost like if a little kid walks up to you at the airport and is like, ‘Man, I love you so much,’ and then you spit on him, it’s like, [jokingly] ‘I don’t know if I love you as much as I used you,’ as you wipe the spit off your face. But you still play their music.”
