 Early in his career, US officials discovered evidence of a "assassination plot" by cocaine kingpin Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff directed at 50 Cent. Why? Some words in a 50 Cent song appeared to "leak" what he was up to. The rapper was shot nine times in 2000. Of course, he lived, but he refused to cooperate with the cops.

+===== Dropped By A Shocked Columbia =====
+So, back to the drawing board it is. Columbia was horrified and appalled by the shooting incident, which occurred just days before 50 Cent was scheduled to film a video. They let 50 Cent go quickly. Returning to the underground CDs. Fortunately, one of them caught the attention of rapper and record producer Eminem. The big moment was approaching.

+===== 2003 Debut Album Sells 9 Million =====
+Get Rich or Die Trying, a collaboration with Dr. Dre and Eminem, exploded onto the hip hop landscape with a vengeance. It ultimately sold 9 million units. Why? It was a club/rap crossover, or dance rap if you will. It didn't hurt that 50 Cent was displaying his powerful, buff figure. [([[https://www.biography.com/musician/50-cent|Biography]])]
+===== Drug Problem Caused By Snoop Dogg =====
+Cent has proudly stated that he solely sold drugs and did not consume alcohol. In 2019, he attended Snoop Dogg's Tycoon Pool party. Snoop, being Snoop, persuaded him to smoke a joint. Following that, 50 Cent joked that Snoop had given him an addiction problem. No, we don't believe so. [([[https://www.rap-up.com/2019/08/20/50-cent-smokes-with-snoop-dogg/|Rap-Up]])]
+===== 50 Cent Shot =====
+Rappers like Jay-Z have gone mainstream to some extent. It's not 50 Cent. His feuds, battles, run-ins, and fall-outs haven't stopped. Even after the publication of Get Rich or Die Trying, reports of him being shot at have circulated on a fairly frequent basis. His defenses are huge and defensive.

+===== No Studio Gangsta =====
+Cent's lyrics are authentic because he is authentic. Rap is rife with "studio gangstas," young men and women who pretend to have lived dangerous, drug-addled, and violent lives on the streets. The studio gangsta adds a lot of embellishment to these stories. 50 Cent is the genuine deal, with a history of drug dealing, firearms, assassination attempts, and the occasional arrest. He's been through it. [([[https://nypost.com/2004/02/08/thug-to-hip-hop-hero-the-real-rap-on-50-cent/|NYPost]])]
+===== Million-Dollar Homes and Bullet-Proof SUVs =====
+In 2004, at the height of his celebrity, 50 Cent paid $4.1 million for Mike Tyson's Connecticut property. He poured millions of dollars into it, hiring designers and security personnel in equal proportion. The SUVs were completely bulletproof. When things started to go awry, he placed it up for sale for $18.1 million in 2007. How much did he eventually receive? Oh, my goodness. It only costs $2.9 million.

+===== Origin Of The Name =====
+What is the origin of the name 50 Cent? It's hazy. According to the rapper, it is a metaphor for his ability to "adapt" and endure. Others believe it was a tribute to Kelvin "50 Cent," a Brooklyn gangster who died when he was young. It makes sense for 50 Cent to pay homage to a street thug and gangster.

+===== From Rich To Bankrupt =====
+His net worth reached a high of $255 million. Then, in 2015, he declared bankruptcy, claiming $32.5 million in debt. Some speculated that this was a strategic move rather than a genuine one. He reached a settlement and only paid back about $23 million. His net worth is currently estimated to be at $30 million. [([[https://raptv.com/artist/50-cent-the-full-profile/|RapTV]])]
