50 CENT
US rapper Curtis Jackson, aka, 50 Cent is
threatening to leave social networking site, Twitter, because of aggressive
tweets from fans.
The controversial star made his announcement after one of
his own fans quizzed him on why he was 'so rude' on the site.
The “In Da Club” star, responded to the fan by claiming
"I get attacked all day on here".
Another post quickly followed, with the G-Unit founder using
the site as a platform to reveal "I'm leaving Twitter soon you guys are
going to have to find another way to get followers".
The news comes just a week after 50 engaged in a public
Twitter feud with fellow rapper French Montana.
The 37-year-old has, however, hinted he may still have a
presence on the site, despite his threats to quit.
He has since posted that he will read and retweet some
messages, but only those that endorse his headphone brand 'SMS Audio' or his
forthcoming 'Street King Immortal' album.
The album was set for its original release in summer 2011,
but disputes with record label Interscope Records mean the revised release date
is now 13 November.
Despite the hitches, 50 Cent has promised 'Street King
Immortal' will be a "star-studded" release, featuring cameos from the
likes of Eminem, Alicia Keys, Dr Dre, and Ne-Yo.
50 Cent's Twitter activity also grabbed the headlines in
September when his fans were treated to a bizarre list of pointers on how
to give up masturbation.
Followers were reliably informed that "God is
watching".
And With tips including 'stop going to porn sites', and 'do
not look at lust filled magazines' high on the agenda, one has to wonder
whether some of Jackson's fans will be left in dire straits if he does follow
through with his plan to quit Twitter.
50 Cent has over eight million followers on Twitter but
follows only two people: @SKEnergyShots and @smsaudio.
