50 Cent has been criticized by an American religious group for wearing crosses.

The Resistance has issued a statement demanding the removal of the diamond-encrusted cross he is often seen wearing.

The religious group’s founder Mark Dice said: “50 Cent is no Christian, and if you listen to his lyrics it becomes clear that he is more of a Satanist than anything.

“He is defaming the cross and committing blasphemy by wearing it while he raps about killing people for no reason because he’s a big bad ‘gangster’.

“I think a large diamond-studded platinum satanic pentagram would be a little more fitting for him.”

But the “IN DA CLUB” star’s manager Chris Lighty dismissed their demands and branded them “absurd”.

He added: “We aren’t aware of this absurd request. They should look up our charitable deeds before casting a stone.”
