50 Said What?

Does Fiddy have beef with Jay-Z? Because that has to be the only reason that he would claim that Jay-Z was famous only after he married Beyonce. “I’m a big fan of Jay-Z,” 50 said, “but outside of the States and hip hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he was married.” Huh?

Jay-Z and Beyonce tied the knot in April. Here are only some of the highlights of Jay-Z’s mega-career before April 2008.

  • 1996 – Founded Roc-A-Fella Records
  • His 1998 Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life went 5 times platinum and sold 8 million records worldwide
  • 1999′s Vol. 3…Life and Times of S. Carter produced the smash hit “Big Pimpin” and sold 5.6 million records worldwide
  • March 2007 – Iconix Brand Group announced they had agreed to purchase Jay-Z’s clothing line Rocawear for $204 million
  • To date has sold 50 million units worldwide, won 7 Grammys, and is an entrepreneurial success, with ventures like the New York City nightclub 40/40 and The New Jersey Nets [Source:OK!; Photo:Getty]
