50 Cent blames Dr Dre for The Game rift

Heavyweight rapper 50 Cent is convinced Dr Dre gave former G-Unit member The Game the courage to start a war of words with his former mentor.

The Candy Shop hip-hop star has been embroiled in a long running feud with his former friend ever since he announced The Game's departure from G-Unit earlier this year - but 50 Cent is adamant The Game would not have the confidence to take him on with support from their producer and his Aftermath record label.
