50 Cent says he saw Kanye West’s hospitalization coming

50 Cent gives his 2 Cents. The rapper visited Watch What Happens Live! on Thursday where he weighed in on several recent headlines, including Kanye West’s hospitalization.

“Oof! That was interesting ‘cause I kind of like, felt like, you could kind of see that coming,” he said. “In pieces, it was like, little outbursts.”

He also reacted to Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery from October, saying, “I think that was a part of Kanye’s breakdown.”

50 Cent also quashed rumors that Yeezy had staged the incident for insurance money, saying, “Nooo! He could have just went to work.”

West recently returned from an extended stay in the hospital and has been recovering at home with his family. A source previously told ET that his wife, Kim, was “very concerned” and “hated seeing him in that position,” while knowing “there really wasn’t anything she could do besides be at his side.”

50 also talked about Mariah Carey’s recent split from her billionaire fiancé, James Packer.

“He said she was too expensive, he knew what he was getting into!” the rapper quipped. Of the proposed “inconvenience fee” between the two, 50 added, “Still need to settle the friendship! [He should pay her] a few million dollars because she stopped doing what was on the schedule.”

Kim and Kanye are currently staying in their Bel Air home with their two children, North and Saint, who is preparing to celebrate his first birthday next week.
