Chinua Achebe Forces 50 Cent To Rename 'Things Fall Apart' Film

So, 50's football film Things Fall Apart has been dropped out of media rotation for awhile, so in this circumstance where it's back to topic, I couldn't be happier, as you're favorite fall-off rapper is now being busted by one of the world's greatest penmen.

Nigerian author Chinua Achebe dropped his literary masterpiece Things Fall Apart back in 1958 (you probably read it in school), and, you'll probably remember, inspired The Roots to name their staple album after the novel. Achebe's title was originally pulled from Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," and now that 50's looking to nab it for a cool $1 million, Achebe's camp has given him a complete literary bitch-slap over the matter.

Here's what Achebe's lawyer said: "The novel with the said title was initially produced in 1958 (that is 17 years before rapper 50 Cent was born), [is] listed as the mostly read book in modern African literature, and won’t be sold for even $1 billion."

So it goes now, 50 has gone with the title All Things Fall Apart, which is still a rip, but whatever
