50 Cent has accused Kanye West of cheating in their SoundScan battle, according to the New York Daily News.

Although it isn't official yet, Kanye won the battle in the UK with his album Graduation, and the results seem to be much the same here. Early figures have Graduation at well over 800,000 units, while 50's Curtis sits at over 600,000.

Hes never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has. They could have only one scan and have it count four times. Wests entire career hasnt sold half what I sold on my first album," said Fif in an interview with UK music magazine Uncut.

Although Fifty has accused Def Jam of riggin the sales, Billboard's Geoff Mayfield finds it to be very unlikely. The people who built SoundScan..put safeguards in place to track sales that dont look kosher.
