MassMedia Swag: The Day I Met 50 Cent

September 8 2007 I overheard that 50 Cent was going to be in the City he was in a serious battle with our own Kanye West. I got myself together and told my best friend I was going to met 50 to give him a copy of my book Doing His Time. She laughed at me and said I wouldn’t get close enough to speak with him but I told her, watch me. I have always been a woman with a plan and vision; once I say I will do it-it’s gets done sooner or later. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a hustler!!  I speak on it, claim it and act on it. I’m a doer and a thinker. Day dreaming in my book is for the birds what’s a dream without a action?

I remember way back in the day when I started writing I told my ex-boyfriend’s best-friend, I was going to get one of my scripts produced and have Eminem play the lead role. He said “wow you got big dreams” that was at least seven years ago. When he sees me now he still laughs and say your almost there Nicey lol.

Meeting 50 that day was a great experience he was very sweet and funny, I was so nervous I couldn’t even speak. He basically did all the talking for me, he probably thought I was a dense airhead I swear lol. My hands where sweaty and I was so nervous I was shaking.  I’ve only been speechless twice in my entire life; I’ve always tried to be ready for whatever–but I wasn’t that day. Yeah I showed my friends that I say what I mean–but I was very unhappy with myself and disappointed. First impressions are everything and sometimes they can blow your chances because there lasting. I don’t know what Fifty’s impression of me was nor at this point dread on it. I have had a great career so far and I’m still growing I’m just happy to have met him for myself.

I learned a valuable lesson and I use it as a stepping stone and learning experience in life. The whole ordeal has gotten me prepared for bigger and better things in my life. 50 is a very respectable man and not the ass hole people make him out to be, at least not to the ladies lol. I took what I felt was unacceptable and got myself ready for anything. I took a page out of  Kimora’s book Fabulosity.  In her novel she states how you always have to be prepared for anything at anytime because life is so unpredictable. I’ve grown so much as a business woman just by listening and observing my competitors. Running a business in a ever so changing industry is hard and sometimes can be overwhelming.  I don’t operate like others, everybody wants to keep up with the now but I feel what works for somebody else might not work for me. I’ve learn the best way to brand yourself is to out-think the others, fluck what everybody else is doing and create your own path, your own movement. 50 said he was looking to do something different so he invested into things outside of music. We all know he made a killing with his vitamin water deal, so that shows me to keep pushing the envelope and not worry about what everybody else is doing.

Some people want to be in the mix but I sit from the side lines and watch as I hunt my prey. When everyone feels comfortable and  laxed I attack like a hungry Lion and crush my nay sayers. Nichelle Walker

People can say a lot about 50 cent but they can’t call him dumb or broke lol! The man is a smart businessman that I’ve learned a lot from. The first Law in my book would be, surround yourself in the right circles with the right people. I’m pretty sure 50 would say the same in his book, his latest novel The 50th Law breaks down his mind and thought process. Although I learned that from running my own company; I’m pretty sure The 50th Law will dig deep into the mind of a man who was never supposed to make it. 50 sat down with CNBC and gave a great interview check it out below kudos’s to Mr Jackson and I’m glad I met you for myself once :}
