50 Cent Clears Up “New Day” Confusion

50 Cent recently released his new single “New Day,” which featured Alicia Keys and Dr. Dre. Weeks prior, Alicia serviced the same song as her single. Confused yet? Well, in an interview with xxlmag, Fif explains what actually happened.

Switching gears again, this time to the music, how does it work out where you and Alicia Keys both have singles called “New Day” in such close proximity and your version has the same instrumental and her same hook as her earlier release?
The actual track was produced originally for [Dr. Dre’s album] The Detox. I was actually recording with Dre for his record and when he played it, it had a chorus that was a little darker. When he sent it to her, Alicia sent it back with “New Day” and it had additional strings on it. He wasn’t sure that he wanted to use it because of creatively where he was at on his project. I was like, ‘I can use that’ because it would be the bright side of what I’m offering in my body of work. He was like, ‘Okay, take it then.’ Obviously, it was a hit. They’re sitting on it and after a while, she recorded additional verses and leaked the record.

  3. MadeMan says:

    Like it or not the track is doing well so far

  4. Your Friendly Neighborhood Dopeman says:

    Cool track. ^@Anon, I was thinking about a 50/Nas joint yesterday as I was listening to “Life is Good”. That would be dope but unlikely it’ll happen.

  5. King Ant says:

    50/Nas already collaborated but it wont happen again. Nt w Nas and his Supreme Team and bring back Murder Inc thing he got going on

  6. La Verdad says:

    Let’s hear Alicia’s side of the story. Sounds to me like Curtis wanna start making some beef to promote his new stuff. Typical Curtis. Curtis go make mends with G-Unit instead.

  7. Your Friendly Neighborhood Dopeman says:

    @King Ant, What track?

  8. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    “New Day” song is nice. But a new “Day New” remix with Eminem would be nice too. Hope gets Just Blaze on the new album 2 or 4 tracks.

  9. Nathanial Hörnblowér says:

    Nas already had an MC Burial for this actor.

  10. hxxvaz says:

  11. MHarstad says:

    Song is a hit regardless of how it came about..I’m excited to hear some more of Fif’s album material

  12. Evil says:

    Look at 50s bullshit explanation as for why he wanted the song
    “I can use that because it would be the bright side of what im offering in my body of work” Haha you only wanted it because as soon as you heard that hook,you knew it was a hit.Dre passed on it,you took it,wrote verses to it gave it to EM who mixed it and you put it out there.End of.

  13. stupid shit says:

  15. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    SMH@stupid shit. If FIF talk like Birdman i would understand your point but the man is talking proper. Your nothing more then a bitter MMG groupie that is emotional.

  16. Name Withheld says:

    Even before I read the part I knew Curtis was gonna say actual and actually. Lo and behold, guess what he did…

  17. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    @Name Withheld. Your bitter too huh? Let me guess FIF didnt autograph your G-UNIT sneaker?

  18. JustMyOpinion says:

    If anyone would’ve told you 5 years ago, 50 would be in less control of his music. You would’ve disagreed. From the album release date, that mixtape that EVERYONE thought would be an album and now this.

  19. Name Withheld says:

    Curtis uses actual and actually so much I’m afraid I may actually catch that actual habit.

  20. YESSS says:

  31. michelle michelle says:

    I think this song has has the potential of a “Run This Town” (Hov, Ye, Ri) I didn’t like that song either but you can tell it will be a radio hit, with possible opportunities for commercials and movies etc.

    The “actual” thing is weird.

  32. 50 Cent says:
