50 Cent raps about being in the club, getting
drunk, getting shot at, hooking up with
women, selling drugs and just living that
street life, but who knew that in real life, the
bad boy spends most of his time by himself
working, doesn’t drink or smoke, and
meditates regularly. Breaking from his hard
Queens, NY image (which is hard to do when
you get shot 9 times), 50 announced on
Twitter back in September that he was trying
to make a difference and would be donating
a billion meals to the hungry around the
world. He recently made his way to a refugee
camp in Dolo, Somalia with Dan Harris with
ABC News in support of the United Nations
World Food Program. The UN had
reservations about 50 Cent due to his image but
he told them he was looking for more
meaning in his life. He also revealed that his
fans may not understand his softer side.
“I want to be more, not just as an artist
but as a person. My legacy…what’s left
behind. I don’t want to be a guy who’s
just remembered for writing a few cool
songs.”
On His Do-Gooder Persona vs. His
Rap Persona and If It will be
accepted by fans
“It doesn’t match. It doesn’t match at all,
but this is the next chapter of my life. I
don’t care if my audience is prepared to
move forward with me. They may not
necessarily be growing at the same pace.”
50 posted pictures of his experience on his
Facebook page and wrote:
“I’m in Somalia this week to show the
world the devastation that is taking
place.Children going hungry everyday,
even dying everyday from hunger. I am
going to keep sending thru images from
out here. I need you to take these photos
and re-post to your friends. The world
needs to see what is going on.”
Kudos to 50 Cent!
