Tulisa's sex tape may have put off some potential suitors, but for rapper 50 Cent it's reason to invite the singer out to dinner.

The rapper heard news about The X Factor judge's sex-tape being leaked by an ex-boyfriend and said he wants to cheer her up by taking her for a slap-up meal.

The 37-year-old star 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 has been through some s**t recently': 50 Cent talking about Tulisa's recent sex tape scandal, pictured the singer outside the High Court last Thursday

'She had it tough and she has also been through some s**t recently as well.'

He continued: 'I love how she has handled that by flipping the bird to that guy who sold her out.'

Tulisa settled her legal action against ex boyfriend Justin Edwards after he admitted he was responsible for releasing the sex tape that appeared online and agreed to say sorry.
