50 vs Eminem

50 Cent was blocked from releasing a new album this summer by his mentor Eminem, the rapper has revealed.

Eminem has pulled rank on his protégé 50 Cent and required him to put off his forthcoming album, because the timing isn’t right. The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ star admits he let his keenness for making music cloud his judgment when he announced his next LP would hit stores in July. Speaking about his plan to release the record in July, 50 said he has a mountain of new material building-up which he thinks needs to be heard.

He said: "Em didn’t agree with me, My motivation wasn’t really right. I get a little frustrated from time to time and I got so much material that I make that isn’t being heard that I was like, ’Yo, I just wanna release an album again.’

"And he was like, ’Nah, you gotta wait.’ I don’t care about none of that, I just want the record to go out, but it just makes better sense to take our time and re-create the new album." In an interview with MTV, 50 continued: "By the time the summer passes, the music that I planned to release will be dated to me and I’ll have so many new ideas that I wanna write something else."
