Hip-Hop Artiste turned Actor, 50 Cent, has changed the name of his new movie title after the legal counsel of renowned African writer, Chinua Achebe reached out to him.

50 Cent had was forced to change the movie title from “Things Fall Apart” to “All Things Fall Apart” because it mirrors the name of Chinua Achebe’s classic novel written in 1958.

A source said, Chinua Achebe was offered $1 million dollars by the producers of the movie but they declined and released a statement saying:
“The novel with the said title was first produced in 1958 (17 years before 50cent was born), listed as the most widely read book in modern African literature, and will not be sold for[b] One Billion Dollars[/b]”
