Kanye West and Lady Gaga's highly anticipated "gay tour" (we'll get to 50 Cent in a second) is over before it even began.
In a brief statement this afternoon, tour promoter Live Nation abruptly canceled the shows, which were to kick off Nov. 10 in Phoenix.
No one knows why the shows were pulled, but one can guess it has to do with egomaniac Kanye's now infamous MTV Video Music Awards stunt. Or, that he planned to retire for a while. Or that he feared for his life. Or maybe Live Nation would not entertain his ridiculous rider -- like buckets and buckets of chicken. Or maybe Gaga said she wanted him off the line-up. Only time will tell.
Back to 50 Cent. He was on New York radio yesterday when he called the now dead show, the "gay tour."
He added: “Kanye’s cool with the gay folk. I have nothing against them, but he’s cool with them. He goes and drops his video off to them...Ellen. Ellen DeGeneres. He went there to premiere his video. He’s conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CD.”
Granted, Lady Gaga has said she's gay, her music is gay, her fans are gay so Kanye better get gay or get the stepping, but 50 was obviously taking a jab at Kanye, whom he's referred to as a "faggot."
Now, we know what you're thinking: pot calling the kettle black.
Update: 50 has apologized.
