The recession is hitting even rap royalty, it seems. As a few million bucks evaporate from the Fiddy fortune in the crunch, it’s reported that 50 Cent restricted a recent London bar tab to a mere £75,000. Scrooge himself would surely approve of another canny call - presumably lifted from the Blingin’ Idiot’s Guide To Make Do And Mend? ‘I buy diamonds on a very regular basis, but now I’m selling my old stuff before I get something new.’ Such thrift will resonate with nouveaux pauvres reduced to listing last season’s threads on eBay in the hope of scraping together enough for an autumn cardi from Primark. No need to wire 50 Cent a dime though; he reckons he’s a survivor and is even offering his services as a fiscal advisor to el prez. Word up, Barack! Anyone who can accumulate an estimated £270 million from what sounds, to your average Katie Melua fan, like a right royal load of *rap deserves Respect!
