MASTER P DENIES ALBUM WAR WITH 50 CENT

Veteran rapper MASTER P has denied reports he is releasing his new album on the same day as 50 CENT's in a bid to reignite a feud with the star. Master P recently branded 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - "immature" for criticising his decision to stop using racist and sexist language in his music. But the hip-hop star - real name Percy Robert Miller - insists he is releasing new album Hip-Hop History on the same date - 4 September (07) - as Jackson's Curtis to give music fans "a freedom of choice." Miller tells MTV.com, "The date was not chosen to compete with Curtis Jackson's delayed release, but rather to create balance in the marketplace and give kids a freedom of choice." Proceeds from the sales of Miller's album will help to fund school scholarship programs in the U.S.
