Rapper says ‘Floyd is like a brother to him’

Actor and Hip Hop star Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has taken to his Twitter account once again to stir up some more attention for himself and Floyd Mayweather by stating their recent spat on the social networking site was fake.

Jackson, who is said to be rivalling Mayweather with his own promotional company ‘SMS Promotions,’ claims that the pair we just aiming for ‘shock-value’ when slating each other with some torrid insults recently.

“I'm sick of all this nonsense,” said Jackson. “Floyd asked me to act like were fighting cause no one was paying any attention after his 60 days (incarceration).

“I know some of the things we do in hip hop for shock value are wrong. He just wanted some attention - Floyd is like a brother to me.”

Mayweather himself is yet to speak on the statement by Jackson and both are still not following each other on the site where they boast over three million and eight million followers respectively.

Whether that was Jackson’s way of apologising for his part in the argument remains unanswered and it will now be interesting to see how Mayweather responds to his former best friend's latest tweet session.
