Or, Taco Bell Could Have Lowered Its Prices
Rapper 50 Cent is mad as hell at Taco Bell. Here’s why:
Taco Bell… asked the artist to change his name to either 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent for one day this summer to promote its new “Why Pay More” value menu.
Taco Bell Corp. President Greg Creed made the proposal in a letter to 50 Cent’s agent and requested Fiddy make an appearance at a U.S. Taco Bell location and rap his order in the drive-thru with his new name, according to a company statement. If 50 Cent agreed to the deal, Creed said Taco Bell would make a $10,000 donation to a charity of Fiddy’s choice.

Fiddy apparently wasn’t in the mood for fast food.
“When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: We messed with the bull and got the horns,” 50 Cent said, according to AllHipHop.com.
