50 Cent says his dramatic loss to Kanye West in a sales race involving their new albums is due to some shady math at West's label, Def Jam.
"He's never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has," the rapper told the magazine. "They could have only one scan and have it count four times. West's entire career hasn't sold half what I sold on my first album."
According to figures compiled by several music industry trade publications, including Billboard and Hits Magazine, West's album, "Graduation," is tipped to debut at No.1 this week with sales of more than 800,000 units. 50's "Curtis," meanwhile, is slated to enter at No. 2 on sales of around 600,000.
As previously reported, 50 Cent has cancelled a string of dates in Europe, including the Music of Black Origin Awards and the Live Music Awards. Both events take place in London, where West's album debuted at No.
1 this week.
