Responds to media criticism
In an interview with King on On Larry King Now 50 Cent responds to media criticism:
I’ve seen so many things said about me in social networking at points. When you don’t anticipate it it lands a little harder on you. This I can telegraph, I can see what’s gonna come from people when they see this in advance. It’s a move that’s necessary for me to make at this point so I didn’t allow myself to create that big red/white bullseye on my back when I become the person that people consistently come to.
50 Cent interview
Winfrey interviews 50 Cent in a one-on-one session that deals with his drug dealing past, balancing rapping and acting careers simultaneously, and being shot nine times.
It doesn’t hurt as much as people think it would hurt because of your adrenaline the shock of whats going on. It hurts after. I didn’t even know my legs were broke when I tried to get out the car.
The Talks interview
50 Cent gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses how he was a better drug dealer, why time is precious, and his different image.
The guy that has on athletic inspired clothing might be someone that you could point to and say, “That’s hip-hop.” The baseball hat, the different things, the do-rag, I suppose could be something you would identify with me as an artist. When you start to dress with more casual clothing or more professional clothing, like a suit, people start wondering. The jewelry I think comes from not having. From not having, you aspire to live life on the highest level possible. When you start off not even being able to fantasize about buying your own car, you buy one as soon as you’re able to.
