Rapper 50 Cent has reportedly been dropped from the cast of Sylvester Stallone's forthcoming movie The Expendables - just days after the Rambo star defended his decision to cast the rapper.

The Candy Shop hit-maker was slated to take on the role of Agent Will Sands, after Forest Whitaker was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

Stallone has since come under fire from film fans, who suggest 50, real name Curtis Jackson, isn't a credible actor. He quickly dismissed fans worries, promising he would guide the acting newcomer throughout the project.

However, according to various internet reports, Stallone has taken on board the fans' grievances, and has decided to ditch Jackson in favor of former football star Terry Crews.
