50 Cent angers religious group

Rapper 50 Cent has been criticised by an American religious group for wearing crosses.The Resistance has issued a statement demanding the removal of the diamond-encrusted cross he is often seen wearing.The group's founder Mark Dice said: "50 Cent is no Christian, and if you listen to his lyrics it becomes clear that he is more of a Satanist than anything."He is defaming the cross and committing blasphemy by wearing it while he raps about killing people for no reason because he's a big bad 'gangster'."I think a large diamond-studded platinum satanic pentagram would be a little more fitting for him."But the rapper's manager Chris Lighty dismissed their demands and branded them "absurd".He added: "We aren't aware of this absurd request. They should look up our charitable deeds before casting a stone."© Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
