News <p>Over the past 24 hours, 50 Cent has been sending loose tweets to his almost 3 million followers, complaining about his grandmother, threatening to fire his manager and attacking gossip and news sites from Necole Bitchie and Gawker to AllHipHop. When the rapper posted a twitpic under the guise 'Yall like my Kim K burger?' -- a non-discrete shout out at the ample-bottomed Kim Kardashian that linked to an offensive (yet hilarious) photo -- the folks over at the social networking site had had enough.<br />

News <p> Ever since 50 Cent dropped 'Before I Self Destruct' last year and experienced his first true bomb, he's been relatively silent on the rap front.
