50 Cent Snubs Fast Food Chain Challenge

50 Cent has responded to a challenge made by the Taco Bell fast food chain, which stated it would make a $10,000 donation to charity if the rapper changed his name for just one day.


Taco Bell issued the offer, if Fiddy altered his alias to 79, 89 or 99 Cent as part of their value meal promotion. The deal also meant the G-Unit chief would have to stop by a branch of the restaurant and order food using the new name.


If 50 Cent agreed, they would glady donate $10,000 to any charity of his choice. However, the rapper has reacted negatively, saying to OK magazine that the offer is "a sleazy and ill-conceived publicity stunt by Taco Bell's president, Greg Creed, whose disingenuous offer was leaked to the press before it was even presented to 50 Cent's agent yesterday."


50 says, "When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: 'We messed with the bull and got the horns!'"
