American rapper 50 Cent has shown the world his softer side and fallen in love.

The Daily Star reports that the US star has admitted to friends that he has the hots for Sugababes girl Heidi.

And he is hoping that his charm and way with the ladies will enable him to hang out with her Just a Lil Bit.

"Fiddy thinks Heidi is the sexiest thing he's ever seen. He saw her interviewed on a tv show in America two weeks ago and has been bleating on about her ever since," a source told the paper.

"He wants to take her out for a romantic meal. He's even been hoping that once he gets into the UK, she'll be bowled over with his gifts of champagne and flowers."

Heidi and other Sugababes Keisha and Mutya recently hit top spot in the UK top 40 with their single Push the Button.

Heidi is known to currently be involved with Dave Perry from MTV.
