50 Cent comes down with a bad case of Diddy

50 Cent says he has developed 'Diddy Syndrome', the affliction of successful rappers who add hair products and cologne lines, and plans to launch a new product soon.

50 Cent has said that he is suffering from Diddy Syndrome, which apparently affects rappers who enjoy big success. And despite what you might be thinking, he doesn't appear to think it's a bad thing.

Fiddy says he came down with the syndrome in 2003 after his debut album, 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin', did rather well. Symptoms include shiny hair and product diversification.

Fiddy told New York Daily News: "When blew up, I developed the Diddy syndrome. As soon as you develop the Diddy syndrome, you put a little more grease in your hair, and soon enough, you're selling cologne".

He added that he hoped to launch a new product "very soon". So, it doesn't look like he's anywhere near close to recovery at this stage.
