50 Cent signs Gamu?

 
50 Cent has reportedly signed ‘X Factor' reject Gamu Nhengu to his new record label.

Her deal is said to be with the newly launched G-Note Records, under the name Miss Gamuchirai.

"Miss Gamuchirai has been singed to 50 Cent's new record label, G-Note," said a source.

"G-Note will focus on 50's favourite acts that don't fit neatly into G-Unit's hip-hop categorisation and will favour pop and R&B artists."

It's also thought that Fiddy had to wrangle with her ‘X Factor' contract before getting her signature.

"It is believed that many labels have been interested in signing Gamu but G-Note offered the best deal and are best connected to make her dreams reality," they added.

Gamu was sensationally passed over by Cheryl Cole at the Judge's Houses stage of 'The X Factor' in favour of Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel.

It later emerged that Gamu faced deportation back to her native Zimbabwe after her family's visa reportedly expired. [MTV]
