50 Cent Announces Departure From Interscope, Receives Support From Eminem

50 Cent Announces Departure From Interscope

After bringing us albums such as 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' and 'The Massacre', 50 Cent and Interscope Records are saying goodbye to each other and going their separate ways. The split comes as no surprise as it's been clear the relationship between the two parties has been deteriorating the past few years.

50 Cent fans, no need to be worried. The New York-born artist plans to take the independent route and has already announced his 'Animal Ambition' album will be released on June 3rd via Capitol Music Group. Pre-order for the LP becomes available on March 18th and those who do chose to put their money down will be given two brand new tracks. Fif also intends to release a song and video each week after March 18th until 'Animal Ambition' hit stores.

50 Cent's departure from Interscope Records confirms the end of his deal with Shady Records as well. The two leave on good terms as Eminem released a statement shortly after 50 announced his farewell. Em said:

Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50's career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent. I’ve developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that’s not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit.

Taking the independent route is not an easy option but 50 Cent most definitely has the money to back and self-promote an album release. Look out for 'Animal Ambition' come June 3rd and see what Fif had to say about his departure from Interscope Records below.

50 Cent:

”I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I’d like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity. I’ve learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision.”
