50 Cent Labelled A ‘Performance Thug’ By The Source

The Source is declaring war on rap superstar 50 Cent. Its October cover story, ‘Performance Thug,’ blasts the bullet-riddled rapper as a media-savvy “gangsta” wannabe. Source co-founder and CEO David Mays told the New York Post, “He’s a fraud. People in the inner city are being shot every day and have survived. The one thing that everyone knows about this guy is that he’s been shot nine times. It’s been highlighted by his management team, who have a vested interest in keeping all this drama out there. This guy travels with, like, 20 bodyguards, most of whom are police officers. He can’t go anywhere by himself in public. He has disrespected so many people and burned so many bridges that a lot of people just don’t like the guy.”
