MassMedia Swag: 50 Cent Money, Power & Respect

Reports allege 50 Cent is getting hit by the credit crunch and is now selling off his diamonds and furniture and other possessions.  He’s also on a promo trail and he is still going hard at Officer Ricky lmao 50 stop it already well I can’t wait until he drops his new video Baby By Me on Nov 2 stay tuned.

50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, confessed he had lost “a few million” from his estimated worth of £270 million.

However he said aspiring business tycoons should learn from his financial prowess and even offered to give US President Barack Obama a hand running the American economy.

“The credit crunch has hit rap,” he said.

“I buy diamonds on a very regular basis, but now I am selling my old stuff before I get something new. These are times when you learn about the value of money.”

The 34-year-old, who is starring in British crime movie Dead Man Running, said it was inevitable that rich people like him would lose money in the current economic climate.

“If you don’t lose money in this recession, it means you didn’t have enough to start off with,” 50 Cent said.

“Sure, I lost a few million, but that’s because I have so much. This is a time that will sort out the strong from the weak.”

“Any businessman who wants a piece of the future should learn for me. Obama is great. If he wants me as his financial adviser that would be cool.”

Just for the record, I doubt 50 Cent is really suffering in this recession. He won’t be eating Ramen noodles under the glare of his rolex anytime soon. This is likely just a case of him just making smart money moves and selling off some of his stuff to fund his new stuff. But who knows…
