50 Cent "Has To Work Harder" Than Lady GaGa

Fiddy claims he thinks GaGa has it easy! Find out more here...

50 Centhas claimed he has to work harder than label mate Lady GaGa to get his records played on the radio.
The Candy Shop hitmaker, who recently slammed Interscope Records on Twitter regarding the release of his fifth studio LP, Black Magic, has now expressed his frustration at "double standards" in the music business.
Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, claims that GaGa is given free reign when it comes to her material, due to Lady G's "mainstream" approach.
Speaking to our US Team, Fiddy explained: "When you say Lady GaGa, a pop artist, they want them to just deliver a song. They don't have the mixshow radio platform to go through before they would actually go for adds on an actual record."
"Her records go to Top 40 and crossover radio immediately. You can't really compare it to any artist that would be considered a pop artist or a white artist."
The 35-year old added: "And I say that openly, because what we consider urban radio or rhythmic radio was referred to as black radio at one point. That right there is something that I am conscious of."
The Baby By Me rapper recently addressed issues he was having with Interscope, insisting that the problems he ranted about on Twitter have been resolved.
