| 50 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]])] | 50 Cent's lyrics are authentic because he is authentic.

| | 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.

| | 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]])] |
