Cash, Cigars, and Celebrations: 50 Cent's Lavish Birthday Bash
Beyond the flashy exterior, Jackson is expanding his media empire with successful series on Starz and developing projects with Eminem and Nicki Minaj.
Despite controversies, including a social media frenzy over Donald Trump and a feud with Diddy, Jackson's focus remains on his business ventures, including a novel release and a new film studio. This article dives into the mogul's life, exploring his successes, controversies, and what the future holds for this indomitable figure in the entertainment industry
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson knows how to make an entrance.
Three days post his 49th birthday, the mogul arrived at a photo shoot with $3.5 million in cash, a nod to Muhammad Ali's 1964 Sports Illustrated cover. "I just had that," Jackson said, his empire's success evident in every stack of bills.
Jackson's journey from rapper to media mogul is marked by the success of "Power" and its spinoffs on Starz, drawing millions of viewers.
His hands-on approach has debunked any vanity project notions, earning him praise as a "creative force." With projects spanning from a series on Eminem's '8 Mile' to an animated series with Nicki Minaj, Jackson's blueprint for resilience shines through.
Despite his business acumen, Jackson frequently finds himself in the news for other reasons. His reaction to an assassination attempt on Donald Trump went viral, and his ongoing feud with Diddy, especially in light of serious allegations against the latter, showcases Jackson's fearless and sometimes controversial social media presence.
So, yes, the rapper is a full-fledged media mogul, though one who is rarely out of the news cycle, often for other reasons. The virality meant his 2003 track "Many Men (Wish Death)" — which includes the refrain, "Many men wish death upon me" — saw a recent 250 percent streaming bump.
