50 Cent: 'I kicked Kanye off the show'

Kanye West's much-publicised boycott of MTV worked well for rap rival 50 Cent on Tuesday - he took credit for the 'Gold Digger' star's 'Total Request Live' no show.

Both rappers were expected to appear on the U.S. show to promote their albums, which were released on the same day - but West pulled out of the programme after falling out with MTV bosses over the way he was treated at the Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
