50 Cent has released a statement in response to losing the "Curtis" Vs. "Graduation" sales battle with Kanye West.
As previously reported earlier, West's Graduation debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 by shifting 957,000 copies of his discs. 50's Curtis came in at No. 2, selling 691,000 copies.
"I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years," 50 told the Associated Press. "Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip-hop music, one that will go down in history."
Kanye's "Graduation" has now captured the largest first-week sales since 50 Cent's last album, "The Massacre", which opened with 1.1 million copies in its first week in March 2005.
