50 Cent / Kanye Fued

Controversial American rapper 50 Cent looks set to re-ignite his feud with Kanye West with a savage set of lyrics on his new album, it has been reported.

The two have a chequered history, frequently exchanging barbs in public. In an echo of the Britpop wars but with slightly more street cred, the pair released albums on the same day in 2007 with West soundly defeating his Eminem-sponsored rival.

Detroit rapper 50 Cent has apparently taken aim at West with new song 'Heartless Wonder' which appears to mock West for singing on new album '808s And Heartbreak'. 50 Cent raps:

"It's the return of the heartless monster/ I should give you niggers a whole R+B record."

“808s and my heart's broken/ I hate all these fuckers with the rainbow colours on."

West's album saw the hip hop don sing through an auto-tune device, receiving a mixed reaction from both fans and critics.

50 Cent will release his new album 'Before I Self Destruct' in Spring.
