50 Cent has canceled his European tour after being outsold by rival Kanye
West.

After pledging to retire from the music industry if Kanye's album
'Graduation' outsold his own 'Curtis', 50 has seemingly taken the first step
by axing all his dates.
He has canceled performances at the Vodafone Live Music Awards
and MOBO Awards after Kanye won the UK leg of their chart battle.

A spokesman for the rapper said: "50 Cent is very sad to confirm that due to
a last-minute, unforeseen and unanticipated change in his schedule, he will
have to postpone his European promotional trip scheduled to take place from
September 18 to 25."
