50 CENT HOT OVER SOURCE MAG COVER

50 Cent and the Source magazine have been involved in a war of words since the magazine’s co-owner Ray Benzino accused Eminem of being a racist. Following the dispute, 50 Cent and Eminem’s camps boycotted the magazine and pulled their ads. The Source just struck back in their November issue by writing a cover story titled, G-Unot! Is Corporate Rap’s Top Unit Fading Fast.

50 Cent’s manager Chris Lighty issued a statement in response to the article. He said, “I deeply regret the turn The Source magazine has made in the last few years and the recent cover with 50 Cent is a testament to the lack of respect for journalism.[It’s] just a blatant attack against my client and friend that does nothing to further Hip-Hop. I supported The Source for many years until this dismal turn for the worst took place and journalism was replaced for favoritism. The G-Unit brand and Hip-Hop can’t stand for such attacks and I hope they hear the criticism and take heed before it is truly too late.”
