Taco Bell Asks 50 To Change His Name To 79 Cent, 50 Isn't Laughing

    In an effort to promote their "Why Pay More" menu, Taco Bell is asking 50 Cent to change his name to either 79, 89 or 99 Cent for a day this summer. Taco Bell's President, Greg Creed, said that his company would amke a $10,000 donation to a charity of 50's choice if he accepts, according to allhiphop.

    Part of the deal would include 50 Cent appearing at any of Taco Bell's locations around the country and 'rap' his order in the drive thru with his new name. “We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer,” Creed wrote to Fifs agent at the William Morris Agency. AllHipHop is reporting that 50 said “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's rep continued by saying "This is a sleazy and ill-conceived publicity stunt by Taco Bell's president, Greg Creed, whose disingenuous offer was leaked to the press before it was even presented to 50 Cent's agent yesterday."
