50 Cent is inching closer to giving Steve Stoute’s face a visit with a right or left hook. Following Stoute’s comments about Fif’s career, the tension between the two has dancing towards the red zone.

In two recent interviews, the Queens rapper has given two very different responses to his Knicks game confrontation. During his chat with MTV, 50 painted the situation as just a few harsh words exchanged but in his sit down with Complex he gave a less PG script to the tense scene.

“Do we say, “Good for him!”? If I smack the fire out of him in front of everybody at Madison Square Garden. WOW! When you see his skin damn near come off the side of his head. Does anyone say, ‘Good for him!’? Or do they go, ‘Oh man, why 50 do that? He bully him.”

The newly indépendant artist isn’t trying to be the bully, instead he is simply responding to what was said. Catch the Complex interview above and the MTV interview on the following page.
