Steve Stoute made comments about 50 Cent during a recent interview with Angie Martinez. Stout was quoted saying,

“[50 Cent] hasn’t had a hit in a really long time. He has not made anything musically that has changed anything in a very long time,” says Stoute. “I feel like he’s always gearing up for something that never happens. Hopefully, now that he’s independent and there’s no record company to blame, his aggressive content can get on the air. The last great song he made was ‘I Get Money. Kanye’s put out three, four albums since then.”

Check out the video below 50 cent posted in response to Steve Stoute's interview.

Let’s hope 50 and Stoute can work out their differences like men.
