Kayne disappointed at 50 cent criticism
Kanye West is disappointed with criticism levelled at him by 50 Cent, insisting he feels "spat on".
50 Cent has been outspoken in his criticism of West, poking fun at his decision to sing on his latest album '808s & Heartbreak', and making constant remarks over the 'Stronger' star's sexuality.
In an interview posted on website Bossip.com West admits that the verbal attacks have left him reeling, especially since he is a big fan of the rapper.
He said: "Just as a real human being, I can't say that it doesn't affect me. I was such a fan of 50. 50 is one of those rappers that I said was the end-all-be-all (sic) of what rap is supposed to be. Like, a true iconic rapper.
"For me, as a fan of him, I felt, like, if he said something negative and tried to make it like I'm negative, it's almost like if a little kid walks up to you at the airport and is like, 'Man, I love you so much,' and then you spit on him.
"It's like, 'I don't know if I love you as much as I used you,' as you wipe the spit off your face. But you still play their music."
