Fat Joe: '50 Cent is a has-been rapper'

Fat Joe has claimed that 50 Cent is no longer relevant in hip-hop.

In an interview with MTV, Joe also insisted that the rapper-turned-actor always tries to feud with fellow New York emcees.

He said: "When he did that first interview dissing Fat Joe with you [Sway], with the candle lights and all that, he lied. When he said no one knows Fat Joe in Africa, I saw that interview from Africa and I had 70,000 people out there. There isn't a country I ain't touch in Africa.

"You talk about album sales - he went from selling 10 million albums to not even going gold this last album. So, he lost nine-and-a-half-million fans in four years. I don't really trip off him... The latest one he's going at, Puff Daddy. He has beef with Jadakiss, he has beef with Cam'ron."

He added: "Anybody we consider dope in New York, he has went at them. There ain't nobody he ain't touch. Fat Joe ain't out here trying to battle-rap everybody in the world."

Earlier this year, Joe labelled 50 Cent a coward.
