I’d rather hang out with a straight dude. I just don’t go with gay people and kick it - we don’t have that much in common. I don’t like gay people around me, because I’m not comfortable with what their thoughts are. In a 2004 interview with Playboy, 50 Cent told writer Rob Tennenbaum, "I ain’t into faggots. A man who rocketed to fame shirtlessly bragging about being richer than everyone else donned a suit to meekly inform the court that he was not the pillar of wealth he was pretending to be.īy his own account, 50 Cent’s mother was bisexual, and like many heterosexual men, he’s a lot more accepting / turned-on by the concept of women loving women than he is about men loving men.
A man whose never-released Columbia debut was to be called The Power Of The Dollar, who made a reported $100 million from his stake in Vitamin Water, and who in 2007 was the second wealthiest rapper in the industry - a man who named himself after money - was now conceding he was not financially solvent. In the limp, late punchline to the grim joke that is his career, Jackson - a rapper whose preoccupation with money was obsessive even in a genre fixated on it - recently declared bankruptcy. These days, however, it’s nearly impossible to imagine him succeeding.
Dre and Eminem, Jackson once had so much power behind him that it seemed nearly impossible for him to fail. She may even have felt comfortable enough with the rapper to refer to him as “Fiddy,” as every white person in the world once did. His popularity transcended racial, gender, class, and generational divides. The album made Rolling Stone’s list of the top 50 albums of the decade and became one of the most commercially successful rap albums of all time. With the exception of Snoop Doggy Dogg, it’s difficult to envision a rapper getting a bigger launch: his debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ dominated the pop culture landscape in 2003, selling 12 million copies while its inescapable lead single “In Da Club” stayed at the top of the charts for nine weeks.
There was a time when Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was unavoidable.
