Rapper is set for UK November tour

After rumours circulated that 50 Cent would retire from music following a spat with rival rapper Kanye West and a European promo tour cancellation, the star has now announced details of a new UK tour.

The jaunt suggests that despite promising to quit if West's new album beat his in the charts - which it did - the rapper will in fact not retire yet.

The eight-date tour begins on November 7 in Aberdeen, with tickets going on sale tomorrow morning (September 22) at 10am (BST).

The full tour dates are:

Aberdeen Arena (November 7)
Glasgow SECC (8)
Birmingham NEC (9)
London O2 Arena (10)
Bournemouth BIC (11)
Cardiff CIA (12)
Manchester MEN (14)
Nottingham Arena (16)
