50 Cent: 'Fans hate my singing'

50 Cent has claimed that his fans dislike it when he sings.

The 'Candy Shop' rapper said that he believes his least popular songs are ones where he uses melody and sings his vocals.

He told MTV News: "What they would knock me for is if I sung on a record - 'Oh, 50 is singing on a record' - they get upset when I use the melody. I've been encouraged to use more melody because I'm an international touring artist and I'm watching the music break language barriers, and all they can follow is melody when you go out there at different points.

"So I brought it, I came back, and I did different things creatively and they kind of resent me for what they love Drake for. It's interesting."

The star went on to suggest that his supporters mainly want to hear him perform "aggressive" music.

Speaking about new album Before I Self Destruct, he added: "The content is coming from situations I've experienced prior to when I created Get Rich or Die Tryin'. What I realised translated most through my material is the aggression, and the people miss it because the other artists don't come from the same type of background or lifestyle."
