As we reported yesterday, 50 Cent recently appeared on the Angie Martinez show in New York where he made comments that caused a lot of controversy. Besides calling Jay-Z a “punk,” the G-Unit general hinted that Kanye West could be homosexual due to his upcoming tour with Lady Gaga.

Now 50 Cent has released a statement about his comments during the interview. “During an interview with Angie Martinez yesterday, certain comments I made were taken entirely out of context. When I referred to the Lady Gaga tour as the “gay tour” I was basically repeating what I thought she had referred to the tour in the past. It was not my intention to offend anyone. I don’t have a problem with anyone’s lifestyle and have no issue with Lady Gaga, she makes great music.”
