Sunderland star Cisse close to 50 cent

Sunderland star Djibril Cisse has revealed how's become close to American Hip Hop star 50 cent.

The pair met last year and Cisse told The Sun: "We are lucky as footballers. We get the chance to meet all types of people from all walks of life. I had the chance to meet 50 Cent recently in Manchester.

"He knew who I was, too. He was in London and needed a car for a photoshoot so he borrowed my Hummer.

"Since then we have kept in contact and I have also become friends with Fat Joe. We did a Pimp My Ride show together. It was great to meet these guys but I don't think 50 Cent will be coming to Sunderland!

"You can take away my TV but you can't touch my music. I've done some CDs back in France, a house compilation and soon I'll be doing a hip-hop and dancehall one too."
