50 Cent Explains Why Jimmy Iovine Doesn't Like Him (@50Cent)



In a recent interview with Cosmic Kev, 50 Cent talked about his single "Smoke" with Trey Songz, possibly working with G-Unit again, and why Jimmy Iovine doesn't like him.


The "Hold On" rapper explained his past with Interscope's Jimmy Iovine and why their personal and business relationship fell apart.


"The last communication I had with Jimmy we were actually talking, and Jimmy tells me he doesn't like me," he said."For whatever reasons – the miscommunications or his interpretation of why I'm actually doing the things that I'm doing – it doesn't even matter. Just get me off the actual label before this s**t goes bad. Because I'm not getting the actual response I want out of the material that I'm releasing with them, and it's to the point where I'm not even trying to put the right thing out. I'm just sitting here, "Put that one. Get that one. You can't get a song with Em and Adam Levine? What can you get?" They didn't get anything on Kendrick [Lamar] until after the record sold."


He also explained that working on his own works better for him than his deal with Interscope. The rapper added that he has respect for Jimmy but can't say that he likes him.


"I'm prejudice... I don't like people, who don't like me."
