Does anyone like 50 cent

He harnessed the power of social media to keep fans locked into what he has going on, which helped him stay viable as an entertainer. That status is what allows him proximity to young artists who are generally indifferent about veteran acts. When Pop tragically died last February, it was 50 who took it upon himself to help finish his Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon album, and he helped finalize a project that many people loved.

But these days, he seems busier in Hollywood, working on movies and TV shows, like the upcoming Black Mafia Family show and the blockbuster Power series, which was so successful it was turned into a five-series universe by Starz. Even without making music consistently, he still feels present in a way that few veteran acts have been able to replicate. Artists looking to commodify their name once they stop rapping full time would be wise to follow in his footsteps with a little more sensitivity.

Williams inserted himself into the mess on Henchman's behalf, and told his followers that the rumors were false. Mind your business da fuck wrong wit you. Back in April of , 50 Cent sparked a public beef with his Power co-executive producer Randall Emmett over an unpaid loan. Fif went on a social media spree , posting countdowns and warnings for Emmett to have his money by the top of the following week. He apparently only had a quarter of the funds at the time. Fif ended up getting that money sooner than later though.

Fif has since deleted the posts containing his threats. Ever since 50 and Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his son Marquise, separated back in , things have been sour between the two. But in the process, he also looped in Marquise, claiming that both his son and Shaniqua were privileged despite what they were provided. Over and over go to work, this is real life. Good Luck!!! Publicly calling out the biggest street names in your city is certain to spark some controversy. Drug lord Kenneth McGriff, who was mentioned in the song, allegedly attempted to get 50 and the song blacklisted from the music industry.

Remember when Fif got shot nine times? His spelling out of The Supreme Team, a crime syndicate, in this song is apparently the reason why. And furthermore, one of the origins of a beef that went on to end more lives. The record was later released officially on 50 Cent's mixtape, Guess Who's Back? Fif is clearly no stranger to the static. During the tussle, Gunplay lost his diamond-encrusted MMG chain. And shortly after the altercation, a viral video of 50 wearing the piece began to circulate.

Fif went on to shoot a video for his single "Major Distribution" in January of , in which he rocked the missing ice. His choice to wear the alleged stolen jewelry sparked controversy and seemingly mocked the entire MMG crew. Fif denied these claims though. Yeah, we got it and ended up putting it in the video. That's what rappers do: Rappers put jewelry in videos. Because the Queens rapper wanted to torment Ross as much as possible, so he began going after his associates, too.

Years down the line, 50 and Khaled ended their beef with each other. In the process, they had some negatively received remarks about Black women. You see a lot of sisters go, 'You fuck with this kind of girl and that kind of girl? That shit is exotic! That shit look a lot different than the shit you see in the neighborhood all of the time. That shit look like it came off a boat. But instead of apologizing, 50 doubled down on his original statement the next time he hopped on social media.

This is proof that 50 Cent will forever stand by his words. Trent Fitzgerald Updated: August 19, Contributing Authors: Kemet High. See 50 Facts About 50 Cent. Categories: News. When people become celebrities, they change the way they speak. But my conversation with you is exactly the way I would have a conversation on the street.

We refer to gay people as faggots, as homos. Later, the rapper revised his public take on homosexuality, but in he did tweet, "Perez Hilton calld [sic] me a douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding.

Crowing to CHUD. No voice coaches, no acting coaches, no bullshit," Sheridan went on to infamously boast that he told Jackson, "You know, if this movie fails, it won't be because you can't act, it's because I didn't direct you right.

By Sheridan's criteria, he did a terrible job directing Get Rich, because the film was a critical — and commercial — failure. Anne Hornaday of The Washington Post captured the tone of the film's pans when she dubbed it "shockingly inert" and said that Jackson was "oddly distant and detached as a performer. He remains an eternal dilettante, always aspiring, never quite there. But elsewhere, he seemed offended simply at the idea of rappers being in love with women they treat with respect.

The rapper vowed to end his solo career if Kanye sold more copies the first week out. But when West won by something like a quarter million units, Jackson surprised no one by not making good on his promise. From the perspective of , the rivalry, which had the unmistakable feel of an internal sales stunt the two rappers' labels were both under the Universal Music Group umbrella , was as much a battle between wildly conflicting ideologies as it was anything else.

But if West conclusively won this particular battle, he slaughtered Jackson in the war. Did you hear what I said? They are misogynistic, but the world is not under the same circumstances. Are you going to tell a painter what to paint? Why am I limited to what you feel should be said? In film and television, they will show art imitates life. Are you not aware of those situations taking place? His defence of his lyrics is eloquent and impassioned. Was this what he said to Oprah? She never asked me the question in the way you did.

The truth is, all things come from your experience. Like, I got shot nine times and I wrote music about it. Has his view of the world changed since then? He writes that, on hearing that the vice-president, Mike Pence, never ate alone with a woman who was not his wife , he had thought this seemed sensible.

It was only when a friend explained this could mean Pence saw women purely as a threat or object of desire that Jackson reconsidered. It is surprising it is not mentioned in a book about overcoming adversity.

Again, he sees a parallel with Trump, whose companies filed for bankruptcy multiple times. Because it means they have the ability to be secure and invest again. Bankruptcy allowed him to start afresh — most notably as executive producer and actor on the successful American TV crime drama series Power.

He says he wants for nothing these days, but is still a sucker for affirmation. I ask him if he is surprised to still be alive at the age of Amanda has been telling me it is the final question for the past 20 minutes.
