Twitter Causing Feuds Between Artists?

When i first read the article i thought to myself wow look at a another marketing ploy by the part of a musical artist. Think about it twitter is probably one of the biggest social networks if not the biggest out there. Now for a little background on the situation 50 cent has always been known to feud with New York artists and throw shots at them in his music. Last weekend he had a concert in which he invited many New York rappers including a few he once feuded with to perform and join the festivities. He called the concert the Thisis50fest to help promote his website thisis50.com Rapper Fabolous who is also from New York was not at the concert and seemed to take some offense. He released several tweets talking about the fact that 50 helped bring the city down not unite it. Now this just annoys me because Fabs album just came out this is an obvious ploy to get his name out there. 50 didnt say anything about him and never has and while he may be right 50 has been out of line with some of his feuds i think it was dumb to do this. However this just shows the power twitter now has on so many people. The social network has now started a rap feud in which may increase album sales. Twitter is really becoming the fastest spread of news, there are things posted on twitter before they reach the news. An example of this would be mike beasleys post in which he threatened to kill himself. Twitter has spread so fast and all it is doing is making money for itself and the celebrities that use it. I still feel like Fab is out of line but i guess it is just his opinion. I never was a big fan of Fab and his latest cd was trash to me but that besides the fact.
