50 Cent, long-known for taking jabs at other Hip Hop artists, had some interesting things to say about Jay-Z in a recent interview.
The Queens rapper said it was Jay's marriage to superstar singer Beyonce - and not his own music - that made Hov the international star he is today, according to PR-Inside.com.
"I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the States and Hip Hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce'," said Fif in the interview.
The G-Unit general also said that reports of Jay-Z's total estimated worth of $1 billion is inaccurate. "I don't believe he's worth that much! It's all been exaggerated. I'm comfortable. I don't want for anything so I'm not in a race."
This far from the first time 50 has had less than flattering comments towards Jay-Z in the past, as 50 has criticized Hov's previous work as Def Jam president. The two had a very minor dispute years ago, when Jay-Z responded

What did he really say that was "dissin" Jay??? Jay's Worldwide numbers and fame really didn't come until his relationship with Beyonce, seriously...niggas in the U.S love him no doubt, he's number 2 on my all time list, but what 50 said is actually true...and as far as the billion dollar net worth, who cares when 90% of the U.S. is strugglin...might be true, might not be....but this wasn't a diss, you gotta see the whole story to see how was actually meant
