In a recent interview with King Magazine, the Queens rapper revealed that Dre could have prevented the escalating feud between G-Unit and Chuck Taylor. “I think a big portion of the problem comes from Dr. Dre and Aftermath. I don’t think it was handled properly,” 50 told King in regards to the feud that lead to a shooting in front of Hot 97 last March. “If Game felt saying something about me was saying something about Dre, he wouldn’t have said what he said. They made him have that comfort.”

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with MTV, 50 takes credit for Kanye’s success by saying “”I feel like Kanye West is successful because of me. After 50 Cent, [hip-hop fans] was looking for something non-confrontational, and they went after first thing that came along. That was Kanye West, and his record took off.”
