50′S TACO BELL BEEF!
It seems like everytime 50 Cent has an album coming out, he gets into beef with someone (i.e. Young Buck, The Game, and his Baby Mama). But he’s taken his manufactured beefs to the KINGS of manufactured beef, TACO BELL!
The fast food chain has challenged the rapper to change his name from 50–to 79, 89, or 99 Cent in connection with its new “Why Pay More” value menu for one day this summer.
Also part of the deal– “Fiddy” (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) must stop by any Taco Bell restaurant of his choosing and rap his order at the drive-thru using his new moniker.
If he completes his mission, Taco Bell has vowed to donate $10,000 to a charity of the rapper’s choice. In addition, it will feed all of the guests at the Taco Bell location that 50 Cent ends up choosing.
In a letter to 50 Cent obtained on Wednesday by OK!, Taco Bell President and CEO Greg Creed writes, “We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change… We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”
That’s no chump change!
50 Cent reacted angrily, “When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: ‘We messed with the bull and got the horns!’”, said Fiddy. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the hip hop icon called the plan “disingenuous” and “a sleazy and ill-conceived publicity stunt”.
