Despite making two different types of music, 50 Cent feels a connection between Drake and himself. Eight years ago, 50 Cent was in Drake's position as the hot new artist. Fortunately for 50, there was no Justin Bieber to compete with. However, he and Drake suffered a similar loss.

50 Cent dominated the game when he came out. At the Grammys, he was a shoe-in for 'Best New Artist.' However, he would lose to rock group, Evanesence. Similarly, Drake lost his Grammy to pop singer, Justin Bieber. Again, 50 Cent can sympathize with Drake over the loss.

Recently, 50 Cent discussed Drake's Grammy loss. He said he feels as if the Young Money rapper was robbed. Taking things a step farther, 50 Cent said he thinks Drake should have actually won for 'Artist of the Year.' 50 Cent went on to say, he did not think Drake would have done as well if the captain, Lil Wayne, had actually been free.
