Kanye West is reported to be lining up fellow rapper 50 Cent on a remix of his new single, ‘Flashing Lights’.

The claims follow both rappers intense publicity battle last year which peaked when they released their latest albums on the same day.

Speaking about the rumours of a collaboration, which was apparently initiated by 50 Cent, a US producer said it wasn’t that surprising.

"50 Cent never had anything personally against Kanye [like he did] with The Game, or Fat Joe. So it's not as crazy an idea as you'd think…Besides it's good for hip hop,” he told MediaTakeOut.com.

West came out on top when both rappers released their albums last year, topping the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with 'Graduation'.
