It appears there may be a problem brewing between rappers 50 Cent and Dr. Dre.
Via Twitter, 50 Cent posted several tweets regarding Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Iovine is the Chairman of Interscope-Greffen-A&M, which used to be known as Interscope Records before a company merger in 1999.
According to 50 Cent, Dr. Dre is upset with him for launching his own wireless headphone line called Sleek by 50 Cent.
Currently, there are two different rumors going around about why Dr. Dre is upset. The first one is Dr. Dre is upset because 50 Cent’s headphones will compete with his headset line. Dr. Dre and Iovine launched their own headphone line called Beats by Dre a couple of years ago.
The second rumor is that Dr. Dre is upset because 50 Cent chose to go with another company to sell his headphones instead of using Dre’s company.
In other tweets, 50 Cent went on to say he was hurt that they felt this way and that he just wrote a rap verse about Iovine and Dr. Dre. Also he stated in a joking way that he will probably not be included on Dr. Dre upcoming album “Detox” due to Dre being upset. Supposedly, 50 Cent had recorded two songs for the “Detox” album.
Dr. Dre has been working his third and last album “Detox” since 2003. Its release date has been pushed by several times due to Dr. Dre working on other projects. However, it was scheduled to be released in April of this year.
Over the years, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent have had a great working relationship. Dr. Dre has produced several songs for 50 Cent and was even considered to be his mentor.
Currently, there has been no response from Dr. Dre or Iovine regarding 50 Cent’ Twitter comments.
