When 50 Cent was having his fake feud with Kanye West this summer, he promised to retire if Kanye's album outsold his.

 

When both albums were released, Kanye's outsold 50's.

 

Now, 50 tells the NY Daily News:

 

No, I'm not retiring.

 

What an interesting turn of events. I think people would be pretty upset with 50 if anyone actually believed his promise to begin with. 50 did justify his retirement-policy-reversal by saying that his album was #1 in Europe, and therefore he did outsell Kanye. Oh, of course, we were going by European sales figures! How did we not realize that? I'm starting to wonder how many of 50's career moves involved technicalities like this. Did the guy actually get shot 9 times? Or were 7 of those shots from a paintball gun? When he's in da club, is he really into havin' sex and not into makin' love, or does he secretly enjoy spooning? Does he really have 21 questions, or is it more like 16 questions and 5 qualifying statements? Is he really sick of using technology, or does he still approve of certain electronic devices like iPods and cell phones?

 

I don't know what to believe anymore.
