Just hours after Kanye West was officially crowned the victor in his much-hyped sales battle with 50 Cent, he turned up at GQ’s 50th anniversary party as the featured performer. But it was really more like a celebration for Kanye, whose “Graduation” widely outsold 50 Cent’s “Curtis” in first week sales. According to Nielsen SoundScan the score was 957,000 copies for Kanye compared to only to 691,000 copies for Fiddy.

“To be a champion, you’ve got to take out a champion,” Kanye declared last night, as an all-star crowd including Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Diddy cheered him on. Moments later, he called for his “theme music,” then broke into a performance of “Good Life.”
