50 Cent 'wants to work with Williams'

50 Cent has said that he wants Robbie Williams to give him a call so that they can arrange to work together.

The rapper also revealed that an earlier attempt by the pair to collaborate was foiled when Williams entered rehab.

"I've pretty much worked with everybody I want to work with in the music industry apart from Robbie Williams. I really want to do something with him," he said.

"During the Curtis album we talked about working together, and we set up some time to go into the studio to make something happen, and then he went to rehab right before we got into our session. So it never actually happened. But I still want to do it."

The 34-year-old said that Williams has a "unique voice" and a "different kind of energy to anyone", and told the Sunday Mirror: "It will make for a different kind of hit record. So make sure you tell him to pick up the phone."

50 Cent, real name Curtis James Jackson III, added that he is determined to become the first black James Bond. "We’ve got a black president. Now we need the first black James Bond. I'm down with that. I've got the watch for the role," he said.
