50 Cent Hit By The Credit Crunch

Rapper 50 cent believes no one is safe from the current global economic crisis.

The hip-hop star's new album, "Before I Self-Destruct" was supposed to be released in the U.S on the 9th December. But he was forcsed to postpone the release until early 2009, because of fears that struggling music fans will be reluctant to splash out on CDs.

50 also admits the credit crunch has also begun to affect his investments, losing him "million of dollars".

He says, "pushing the album back was to position myself a little better. I've lost a couple of million dollars already. I sit with my investors and accountants and look at the decreasing value in stocks".
