50 Cent Admits His Addiction
Posted by Bossip Staff
50 Cent admits the one thing that has him strung out:
50’s current project is “Dead Man Running,” which he’s filming in London. His video game “Blood in the Sand” drops in January (we’ll have more on that in the coming days), and Before I Self-Destruct, Fif’s fourth solo album, comes out February 4. Bricks are not on his radar.
“I wouldn’t be a part of a video game if I didn’t think I could bring something to it that would up the standards of the market space,” he explained. “Film projects are the same. When I read the screenplay, I envision what’s happening in the screenplay, and if it’s exciting to me, I’ll commit to it. If not, I won’t. I couldn’t care less what an agent says or a manager. I don’t let them make decisions for me, because if I fail, I’d rather it be my fault and a reflection of something that I chose to do than someone else’s idea and me having to pay for it through my career.
“I’ve had a lot of success, and I plan on having a lot more,” 50 added. “I feel like I’m a work in progress, and if I’m honest with you, I’m a junkie. I’m addicted to success. There’s no rehab for success, or I’d go check in right now.”
Hey, there’s no denying the cat gets after the stacks like crazy, but video games and reality shows are the last exits on the highway to obscurity. Who thinks the well is running dry for the sh*t starter that is Curtis Jackson?

firsttttttttttttttttttttttt
First time postin and I beat all ya beaches haha
50 cent is here to stay bossip…..
I think Fitty will continue to make money for a while…if he practices fiscal responsibility, he’ll be good for the rest of his life. Don’t be like Dame Dash Fitty.
…could I be first?!
I think its great to be career driven and financially successful. That’s what happens when you work hard. I only wish that teachers made a 1/4 of what some of these celebrities earn.
The find ways to blow those stacks QUICKER THAN A BI***!!!!!!!
*They
Hehe
Dude aint going no where no time soon. Sorry Bossip
His last game was pretty okay. I salute the dude for his business acumen. Make that moneh Fif
Bossip always be hatin on successful Blacks?
Why?
Gotta love him!
I’m addicted to manaconda.
He doesn’t have to worry about rehab for success addiction. It’s pretty obvious he’s being forced to kick the habit cold turkey because his career is clearly on the decline.
HE IS ABOUT HIS PAPER YOU CANT HATE ON HIM FOR THAT HE CAME FROM NONTHING TO SOMETHING
It’s a blessing to feel blessed but only assholes toot their own horn
50 isn’t going anywhere…he obviously has a knack for business.
Oh yeah, and if you’re reading this, get rid of Tony Yayo. He’s scary, corny, and his big head is gross on his little neck.
YOU GO FIF!!!!!
who cares? he sucks
no well will run dry for 50 for the record. he has already crossed over and is here to stay. he may not make a drastic comeback with the music industry, but he has def made it and will continue on greatly
he’s number 1 on forbes…….
his show is the highest rated show on MTV……
the album is anticipated as hell……
bossip shut the hell up!
oh please addicted to sucess my foot!! that’s why kanye west sold more albums than him. and his music ain’t that amazing either!
This guy seemed ( I said seemed) to be going somewhere when he first started, but deflated in the last few years, selling water, “acting” in “movies” etc.
One mistake he made was leaving Dr. Dre behind as a major player on his projects. I believe that Dr. Dre is one of the most talenetd cats out there.

NOW THIS IS WASSUP…IMPRESSIVE 50!
WHY CAN’T MORE RAPPERS DO REAL MARKETABLE SHIT LIKE THIS, INSTEAD OF HUSTLING BACKWARDS BY SPENDING UP THE ADVANCE MONEY AND NO RE-UP RESORTING TO HEADING BACK TO THE BLOCK
GET LIKE 50…HE’S STANKEY RICH!
Go
Away
50 is the next jayz in due time already following the roll,everyone gets there slump in the music industry so to all you haters,.,.hate it or love it
I miss the Game, he’s so LA
The Game L.A.X.
who’s talking about the game? anyway, 50 is that dude whether u like his music or not he’s here to stay and he has so many different business ventures going on that he really doesn’t have to make money from music anymore… i ain’t mad at him
I think that is the smartest thing he’s said. You have to be addicted to all the good things in life in order to be successful. If failures isnt an option than you have no choice but to succeed. I cant stand 50 foreal because he had one great CD and now he thinks that he owns the universe yet hustle recognizes hustle! Do yo thing boy
another Freemason stooge.
50 is an asshole agreed. however he does take advantage of opportunities when they arise. There is plenty of money in video games and films. His rap carreer is about over, so he is changing the way he makes money. He’s still an asshole though.
Agreed He is an asshole. All so his show suck. I’d Rather Watch Snoop’s Father Hood Show.
No…form the looks of it, his well is flooding. Has anyone seen his house on MTV’sCribs? Hell my apartment is like one of his bathrooms!lol He isnt the nicest guy or atleast he doesnt portray himself as a nice guy, but how many uber rich people are nice? They didnt get rich from being nice, they got rich from staying on the grind. I respect his hustle.
I am not a fan of Fifty, but I cannot knock him for trying to make money legally by diversifying. If you don’t like him (and I don’t), then don’t buy his games, CDs or any products he endorses, or watch his TV shows or movies, then he’ll go away for sure.
As much as i think his music has steadily declined since he dropped mainstream in 03 i think his head is in the right place. Yes bossip, video games and reality tv might be things you get at on ya way out but if your gonna fade at some point anyway why not get that money? Look how many “superstar” rappers had thier time, it passed, and now they broke as hell. Look, damn near nobody stays popular forever, you’re going to fall off. Get it however you can while people still know who you are.

how can a multi billion dollar biz that has surpassed film be a sign of being on your way out?
whether he is or isn’t makes no difference, gaming is only now slowing up a bit, because ain’t a damn thing recession proof, and if he can keep creating and selling games, license music for games then cash will come.
shit, gettin’ paid to attach your name to a genre, reality shows, that are cheap to make, seems like a win/win to me
reality shows and video games are now part and parcel to success. Also,look at what P!nk has on the app store over on Apple.
For me, the “revelation” in this article is that he reads. Shocking!!!
NOPE 50 GONNA BE RICH AND COCKY AND SEXY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE HOLLA LOL.
DAMMMMMMMMM BUCK TEETH BEAVER!
Granted he’s came a LON…G way from his dayz, but 4 me, it’s all bout LLOYD BANKS! And his other partner, the 1 that looks like a DRUNK, go bac and do some more time. 50, U CANT EVEN ACT! Get a actin coach 2 teach ya. U mite have the body and yeah u made a few hit recordings but as far as im concern, UR WASH THE F**K UP. Go in ur corner and allow my boy LLOYD TO SHINE…4 REAL TALK.
