50 Cent has reached out to Tulisa Contostavlos and revealed he would like to go out for dinner with her.

The rapper is quoted by the Daily Star as saying that he heard about Tulisa's recent sex tape leak ordeal after coming across her on the UK X Factor.

50 Cent said that he "loves" how she handled the situation and praised how she "flipped the bird" to the source of the leak, ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards. He said:

"I'm going to be over in the UK later on again in the year and I would love to meet Tulisa for dinner. She had it tough and she has also been through some s**t recently as well. I love how she has handled that by flipping the bird to that guy who sold her out."

He added: "I been watching and reading about Tulisa since she got the role on The UK X Factor and my girl is no wannabe. She is real, she is talented, and the sort of person I want to be creating music."
