50 Cent to Retire From the Music Industry?

It seems since Kanye West has officially beaten 50 Cent in album sales, the rapper may be keeping his word about retiring if he lost to him.

The rapper has decided not to make an appearance at the Music of Black Origin Awards, Vodafone Live Music Awards and canceled his European tour. He also had his spokesman release this statement.
"50 Cent is very sad to confirm that due to a last-minute, unforeseen and unanticipated change in his schedule he will have to postpone his European promotional trip scheduled to take place from September 18 to 25"

However, he showed humility in defeat as he released this statement when he lost to Kanye West by almost 265,000 copies. He said"I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years. Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip hop music, one that will go down in history."
