50 Cent to tour UK after quit threat

50 Cent has quelled speculation that he is to retire by announcing plans for a new UK tour.

The rapper cancelled a string of dates in Europe last week after he lost a chart battle with rival Kanye West, following a threat to quit if he sold fewer albums than the 'Gold Digger' hitmaker.

Fiddy's Curtis was released on the same day as West's album Graduation, leading the pair to begin a public popularity feud.

A promotional trip was cancelled by 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, after the chart positions were announced, sparking rumours he was to follow through with his threat.

Eight arena performances have been scheduled around the UK, starting in Aberdeen on November 7.
