AceShowbiz - 50 Cent weighs in on Kanye West's antics at the 2015 Grammy Awards on Sunday night, February 8. The G-Unit rapper shared his thought on his former rival's rant against Album of the Year winner Beck as he discussed his underwear line FRIGO in a new interview with PEOPLE.
Before talking about West's controversial action, Fif first trashed the Grammys. "I'm not sure that people care about those establishments anymore," he said. "My reason for being excited about an award show is my peers being there to acknowledge the award. And if it means that we get to choose ourselves who deserves what awards, then why would I show up for them to tell me?"
He then mentioned his Best New Artist loss to Evanescence back in 2004 as he tried to prove the Recording Academy wasn't always right. "When's the last time you've seen Evanescence?" he asked, adding, "Crickets. Crickets. But that's just the way it is."
Although he said Grammy trophies sometime go to the wrong artists, Fif disagreed with West's statement about how Beyonce Knowles should have won the Album of the Year Award over Beck. He argues that Beck, who wrote, recorded and produced his own album, is way more talented than Beyonce who has a bunch of people work with her for one LP.
"[Beck] produced the record, he wrote the record," Fif explained. "There's 11 producers on Beyonce's album - Kanye, being a producer and a writer should see that, but you get jaded."
