No one hates quite like 50 Cent. In a new interview with XXL, the always-opinionated hip-hop heavyweight sounded off on comparisons between himself and Canadian newcomer Drake.
“I didn’t hear that, I don’t think you can accomplish that right now…Not without finance. I hear his record on the radio. He got a good buzz, I hear him. Shit, it wasn’t possible for my music to be on the radio when I was coming. You know mine’s was completely organic. Ain’t nothing there just because, enough for it to be playing every hour on the hour. That song is being worked like he’s on a label. You know I’m sure Sylvia Rhone or Universal — they’re spending money to get the record played. They got the public feeling like its just happening. He might not be signed yet, but they may work it to get him to sign…”
50 Cent is launching his own fragrance as part of an exclusive deal with Macy’s.
Power By 50 Cent will be released via a partnership with fragrance firm Lighthouse Beauty and is scheduled to arrive on Macy’s store shelves later this year.
50 Cent and Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker have signed up to star in a new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic 19th century novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
The pair will play the lead roles in the classic tale about a doctor who invents a potion that can unleash his violent alter ego.
“The combination of such formidable talent in front of and behind the camera will turn this wonderful gothic story into a modern classic for a whole new generation,” executive producer Luc Roeg told Variety on Thursday.
50 Cent will continue seeking revenge on rap rival Rick Ross by releasing a sex tape starring the mother of his child.
50 fired the first shots of disrespect when he took Ross Baby Mama #1 Tia shopping earlier this year. Now the Queens-bred rapper has purchased incriminating footage of BM #2 Brooke with plans to post it ThisIs50.com, TMZ reports.
And better yet, he will even provide a voiceover on it.
The pair previously fell out after Rick said he could outsell the Queens-bred rapper.
50 Cent is launching his own line of skin care products for men “who like to be pampered.”
“50 prides himself on having a a ripped body… he’s on a health kick and barely touches alcohol. So his range will be for the guy who likes to be pampered,” a source revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror on Wednesday.
In case you haven’t heard 50 Cent and Rick Ross are going at it as part of hip-hop’s latest beef.
Instead of offering up a diss track, 50’s decided to poke fun at Ricky’s past as a correctional officer in a new animated series, entitled Officer Ricky.
