In a new cover story for Us Weekly, the rapper and entertainment mogul confirmed that although he’s on the verge of becoming a billionaire, he’s in no rush to get there.
50 Cent also shared that he doesn’t want the problems that come with being a billionaire. “The IRS might suddenly decide they want 58 percent of your money,’ he said. “The ambulance chasers, the attorneys — it’s an army of ’em after you. Then you’d have to protect yourself because you have deep pockets.”
50 Cent’s legacy will now include his G-Unit Film and Television Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana. The city hosted his Humour and Harmony Festival this past weekend, an epic four-day event to support his G-Unity Foundation. The inaugural event included a comedy show, a celebrity basketball game and performances from Cam’ron, French Montana,2 Chainz, DaBaby, Master P, Moneybagg Yo, and many more. The Shreveport Chief of Police praised 50 Cent for exciting a successful, crime-free event. “I haven’t seen this type of positive activity downtown since the late ’80s!” Chief Wayne Smith told TMZ.
