50 Cent has hit back at Alicia for criticizing gangsta rap - insisting her comments were “not really bright”.
Keys courted controversy by voicing her opinions on the hip-hop subgenre, telling U.S. magazine Blender, “
Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other.”
And her comments have enraged rapper 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - whose music is said to fall into the gangsta rap category.
He tells TMZ.com, “
I don’t like people who don’t like me … that statement changes my perception of Alicia Keys totally. It’s just not really a bright comment …”
Keys has since retracted the statement, insisting her words were taken out of context.
