Curtis has been taking some sly shots at Jay-Z as of late, esp. by jumping into the Beans vs. Jay-Z drama on Beans’ side. And recently Curtis talked to Billboard magazine about his “Baby By Me” video. And sounds like he’s still trying to come at Jay in a roundabout way–through his wife Beyonce. Here’s what 50 said about making Kelly Rowland his leading lady in his vid:

 

“I ran into Kelly at the Latin VMAs, which I attended to perform with Wisin and Yandel, and I asked her if she would consider doing it,” 50 explains. “You can’t forget all the work she did with Destiny’s Child. The difference between Kelly and Beyonce is the extreme focus they put on Beyonce to make sure she was completely right. Kelly wasn’t held in the same regard, so, in order for her to mean anything to America, they’d have to match the marketing dollars spent on Beyonce. She never received the superstar treatment.”

While 50 is known to be messier than most chicks I know, he’s not exactly lying about this here. Y’all know we heart B to pieces around these parts, so no shade intended. But it is what it is.
