50 Cent wants Robert Pattinson to join his rap group G-Unit.

Rapper 50 Cent has been deeply touched by his trip to Africa with his G-Unit labelmates - because it has made him aware of how much African fans have had to spend to get to gigs.

A lawyer for Tony Yayo of the hip-hop group G-Unit told a judge in the US today that he has a witness who swears the rapper is innocent of slapping and punching a rival’s 14-year-old son.

Funeral services were scheduled today for Israel Ramirez, the bodyguard of rapper Busta Rhymes who was shot dead outside a taping of a music video.

Rapper 50 Cent has hit out at the police after much of his entourage was yesterday barred from entering Canada to perform with him.
