More pop politics, and 50 Cent has said he doesn't agree with fellow hip hop star Kanye West's assessment of the way the US authorities dealt with Hurricane Katrina. As you'll remember, shortly after the disaster West basically accused the Bush government of reacting slowly to the Hurricane because it was mainly black people who were affected. He concluded: "George Bush doesn't care about black people".
But Fiddy aint convinced. He said he thinks the American people reacted in the best way they could under the circumstances. According to WENN, he said: "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. I think people responded to it the best way they can. What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from".
Assuming Fiddy is right, I'm not sure that completely exonerates the President. Given that Bush is apparently always chatting to God about world issues, you'd think he'd have had plenty of advance warning.
