50 Cent slams Kanye's 'Bush is racist' comment

Rapper 50 Cent has lashed out at fellow hip-hop star Kanye West for accusing US President George W Bush of racism in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

The star believes human intervention could not have prevented the effects of the hurricane, which killed over a thousand people in the US gulf states in August, and sees no point in reprimanding the President for something which was beyond his control.

He says: "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God.

"I think people responded to it the best way they can.

"What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from."
