A Christian group in the States has demanded that 50 Cent stops wearing crosses, because they believe the context in which he wears the Christian symbols amounts to blasphemy. Fiddy has been targeted as part of attempts by a group called The Resistance to "clean-up the media's portrayal of Christianity".
The group's Mark Dice told reporters: "50 Cent is not Christian and if you listen to his lyrics it becomes clear that he is more of a Satanist than anything. He is defaming the cross and committing blasphemy by wearing it while he raps about killing people for no reason. I think a large diamond studded platinum satanic pentagram would be a little more fitting".
Asked about The Resistance's latest campaign, Fiddy's manger Chris Lighty told AllHipHop.com: "We aren't aware of this absurd request [but] they should look up our charitable deeds before casting a stone. This is entertainment and no one is forcing them to listen to the music or watch any of the videos. It's an individual choice".
God was unavailable for comment, though insiders say Jesus isn't too bothered about Fiddy's use of his logo, that he's of the opinion the cross symbol is bit "last millennium" anyway, and that those satanic pentagrams sound "kind of cool". Crazy guy, that Jesus.
