50 CENT IS LEAVING INTERSCOPE?

I have an insider at Interscope Records who is pretty high up on the food chain. They have told me that 50 Cent is going to be leaving Interscope. This is nothing new. We all know that 50 Cent is on the last album in his deal and seeks to re-negotiate his situation and bring G-Unit with him. Here is what he said in a recent interview with AllHipHop.com.

Lets talk about G-Unit a bit. Can you speak on the status of G-Unit a little bit?

50 Cent: Everybody’s intact, as far as Yay [Yayo] and Banks, they are both recording new records. When their music is 100% dead right, you’ll probably be hearing another G-Unit album following the release of this actual project from me. And then, their solo albums.

Are they looking for new recording homes?

50 Cent: Well, not in a hurry…to do that. [Pauses] Because its almost time for me to re-negotiate.

Yeah, I know…this is your last one [with Interscope].

50 Cent: Hey. Why would they go ahead and do a deal a head of time when they would be a part of the package and negotiation for me.

This interview was about a month ago so we don't know if 50 Cent has started and/or ended his negotiating over there. My sources say that he's leaving and The Game is about to be the new dude they look to to be a flagship rap artist. Expect to see huge promotion surrounding The Red Album.
