50 Cent Refuses To Play With Justin Hawkins

Badboy rapper 50 CENT has been branded a coward for refusing to take on THE Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins in a game of table-tennis.

The PIMP singer showed his contempt for the long-haired, leotard-wearing Hawkins when the two met in the backstage area of Tuesday night's (17FEB04) Brit Awards in London.

50 ignored Justin's challenge and glared at him, while one of his security team said, "No way, freak."

A Darkness spokesperson says, "Justin loves to relax playing ping-pong - he's taking a table on tour and he always challenges all-comers. Perhaps 50 Cent was scared."
