50 Cent has accused fellow rapper Nas of just trying to sell more records by calling his new album ‘N*gger.’

As previously reported on Gigwise, Nas changed the name of his forthcoming album from ‘N*gga’ to ‘N*gger’ because he said that he wanted to take the power out of the world.

50 Cent has now hit out at both the rapper and his forthcoming album title, branding the title “a stupid name.”

He said: "Nas sucks. It's nonsense, man. That's a stupid name. It doesn't make sense. Why would you title it that?"

Scheduled for release in December, 50 Cent added that the title is just part of a marketing scheme, reports yahoomusic.

"You helped him out because you asked me [about it], and people who are interested in me would like to hear the answer,” he said. “But other than that, there's nothing interesting in that. It's just for shock value."
