50 Cent Has the President's Back

The latest battlefield in the 50 Cent-Kanye West rap feud: Presidential politics.

Commenting on West's unhinged and wholly inappropriate tirade about George Bush not caring about black people, foisted on us from the fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina victims, 50 lent the President a little support by taking his hip hop foe down a peg.

50 says he disagrees with West's infamous statement that "George Bush doesn't care about black people," proclaimed during a September telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims.

"I think people responded to it the best way they can," 50 told ContactMusic.com. "What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from."

Instead, 50 said, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God."

It wouldn't be the first time 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, made comments that weren't flattering of West. In a September interview with MTV, 50 while otherwise complimentary of the popular "Gold Digger" rapper said: "I feel like Kanye West is successful because of me."
