“50 Cent” Jackson has been on display whether through his cuddling with stuffed animals or sitting down with his former archenemy Oprah. With tomorrow’s release of 5 (Murder By Numbers), which has now been pegged as a free LP, Curtis felt need to unleash 50 Cent for a little tomfoolery. One of 50′s followers urged him to “release the album or get shot again” to which 50 responded, “yeah just saw your picture fool you look autistic.” His autism slur sparked an outcry leading to actress Holly Robinson Peete penning an open letter to the rapper expressing how hurtful his words were. Oh, Fiddy. That Oprah appearance really had some folks fooled.
5 (Murder By Numbers) was believed to be his fifth studio album until 50 tweeted that his official album, Street King Immortal, will be released in November. That makes sense seeing as how there had been no promotion, singles or videos leading up to 5. He has publicly vocalized his gripes with Interscope, accusing his label of not doing anything as it relates to marketing. We wonder why the change of heart. If 5 was set to go as the official album, did Fiddy realize releasing it without any singles or promo that he’d risk it not doing well? Is he not satisfied with the album? Whatever the rationale behind his choice there’s an awful lot of pressure to see if 50 still has what it takes to move units. His last album Before I Self Destruct went gold. We shall soon see if 5 or Street King Immortal will be exactly what he needs to make a comeback.MTV.com
