50 Cent Speaks To Kay Slay About Video Leak
Tuesday, August 14, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
With online rumors insinuating 50 Cent of spazzing out at Interscope offices, due to the premature leak of his video for “Follow My Lead,” the G-Unit artist recently appeared on DJ Kay Slay’s radio show to explain his side of the story.
According to several sources, “Follow My Lead” was scheduled to be the third video off his upcoming album, “Curtis,” as soon as current videos for “I Get Money” and “Ayo Technology” had dropped from rotation.
When 50 Cent heard that the video prematurely leaked onto the Internet last week, he reportedly ripped a plasma TV from an office wall and threw his mobile through a window – yelling out, “You’re f*cking everything up, you’re messing up my look, my album, so you know what, I’m on f*cking vacation now. F*ck you and f*ck Interscope.”
“The process has been ill for me this go-around,” 50 later told Kay Slay on New York’s Hot 97 radio station.
“I usually have to start a project myself, as far as Interscope. I got to lead. On the first album, ‘Wanksta’ just took off before ‘In Da Club’ came about. When we got to The Massacre, I leaked ‘Disco Inferno’ and they caught up with ‘Candy Shop.’
“This album, I threw ‘Straight To The Bank’ out there, and ‘Amusement Park’ was the joint they were supposed to assist me with going after. But when that came, it grew at the same pace that ‘Straight To The Bank’ grew. And I was like, yo, it don’t feel like it’s a difference in the support for the actual record.”
Video clips of "Follow My Lead" have since been removed from YouTube, but have already been re-posted on other sites.
The video, which features R&B singer Robin Thicke, also includes actor Dustin Hoffman who plays 50’s psychiatrist.
“Curtis” hits stores on Sept. 11.
