Nas Threatens 50 over Lopez Track

SOURCE NOT STATED IN THE POST

Nas is reportedly so furious 50 CENT attacked his duet with JENNIFER LOPEZ that he has threatened to destroy 50's career.

Nas complains 50 Cent was like a brother to him until they fell out over Nas' remix of Lopez's I'M GONNA BE ALRIGHT, which 50 Cent claimed was a cheap attempt to outdo his version of the same song.

Nas explains, "50 been saying some shit since he came out in 2002. He said I did a song with Jennifer Lopez and I wasn't supposed to because he did a song with her.

"So he's like a kid living in a hip-hop fantasy world. J-Lo is a friend of mine, and if she wants to do a record, I'm doing a record with her.

"50 was like a little brother to me. But 50 need to realize the last nigga who went after me retired, and he's on an R+B tour now. Think about that."
