50 Cent Says Beyoncé’s Marriage Helped Jay-Z’s ‘Dull’ Career


50 Cent recently said that JAY-Z’s fame was mostly due to his relationship with Beyoncé. This is another shot at the hip-hop star.

“It’s okay for the award shows not to give me the trophies,” the 48-year-old told XXL. “Even JAY-Z’s career, you can look at that and say the association to Beyoncé is when he started to received the 16, 17 Grammys, since he’s been with Beyoncé. And you go, prior to that… [he had] one. That came with the association.”

“You see [Jay and Beyoncé’s] kids already have Grammys. They don’t sing yet. They don’t sing. They don’t rap yet. And, they already have Grammys and shit. So, they say, ‘Give them this trophy so we can secure that they’re coming — to the awards show.’”

“It meant that much to the culture they just gave them the things,” says the rap star, implying that the power couple’s many awards are just a PR scheme.
