50 CENT - 50 CENT'S BRITNEY WORRIES

50 CENT'S BRITNEY WORRIES

50 Cent says people should keep looking out for Britney Spears, even if she appears to be recovered from her breakdown and believes people want him to suffer similar problems.

50 Cent claims people want him to be like Britney Spears.

The 'Candy Shop' star says he believes fans want to see his downfall as it is a natural response to witnessing someone achieve success, citing the interest surrounding the 'Womanizer' singer's 2007 breakdown as a perfect example.

He said: "I feel like the general public turns you into a favourite by consuming your material. We all start from an underdog space. And after they consume it, they begin to resent you for not bearing the same pressures. Because you're in this financial space where they know you're not under the same circumstances they are. ... This is why they like nothing more than to see Britney Spears when she's shaving her head and swinging at the cameras."

Although Britney went on to recover from her problems and is currently on a world tour, 50 thinks the 'Gimme More' hitmaker should be receiving more help.

He added to MTV News: "We should be covering her more now. They covered it during the confusion, but the intensity, that's less than when she made the comeback."
