He’s landed his own reality show modeled after ‘The Apprentice’ called The Money & The Power.
Fiddy is looking to find “the next person who can change nothing into something and be the new game changer.”
And in keeping with the Don, Fiddy even has his own exit line for those who don’t make the cut.
“Get the f**k outta here.”
The show premieres on MTV on November 6th.

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell after they used his name in a marketing ploy to advertise their prices.
Taco Bell President Greg Creed officially asked the rapper to change his name from 50 Cent to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent and promised $10K to his favorite charity if he agreed. He wrote,
“We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”
You had to admit, it was funny, but you knew he would never do it.
Well Fiddy isn’t laughing. He’s pissed that his fans are accusing him of being a sellout and he feels the company used his name to sell their products. He’s asking for $1 million.
Lawsuit documents read,
“Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.”
I’m sure Taco Bell is still loving all this attention. A piddly million was completely worth all the advertising they got from this – and then some.
A new video has surfaced on YouTube which may have caught a glimpse of 50 Cent and a couple friends doing blow backstage while in Europe.
A news crew walked into his dressing room area without announcing it or knocking, and you see Fiddy and pals hovering over a coffee table as though they are divvying up the goods. As the camera approached, one of the guys puts his hand out and tells the crew to back out of the room, which they do. A moment later Fiddy appears for the interview.
It’s a little hard to say what’s going on in the video for sure, but I think they were definitely indulging a little. I mean, check them out over that table. That little table – with them all leaning in towards it. Yeah, they’re snorting the shit.

“Nas sucks. It’s nonsense, man. That’s a stupid name. It doesn’t make sense. Why would you title it that?”

Britney Spears at 50 Cent’s record release party at The Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas
Britney Spears doesn’t seem to be worried about whether or not she will wow everyone at the opening of this years MTV Video Music Awards.
Britney hung out with fellow party girl Paris Hilton, as well as P. Diddy and 50 Cent after checking out Cirque du Soleil’s Mystere show. She hit at least three Vegas clubs, dancing, drinking and partying until after 3 am.
Will all the cigarettes booze and late nights compromise her performance tonight? My guess is that she will lip-sync, and that no, it will not jump start a comeback for her.

Blender has these 33 things you probably don’t know about 50 Cent.
1 • His mother dealt drugs to support him
Sabrina Jackson gave birth to Curtis on July 6, 1975. She was 15. “She wanted to provide for me, but she didn’t see Burger King as an option,” 50 says. “She found other means: hustling.” His grandmother would mind him for weeks on end. “My mama substituted presents for time: Every time I seen her, it was Christmas.”
2 • She told him he’d been an immaculate conception
“One day I asked her, ‘Mama, why don’t I have a father?’” he recalls. “She said, ‘You was an immaculate conception, like Jesus.’ She was just trying to make me feel special.”
3 • To this day, he’s never met his dad
“I don’t know who he was, and I have no interest in knowing,” he says. “I mean, it’s a source of regret. He could have helped me in life. But that period has passed.”
4 • Before he was 50 Cent, he was Boo-Boo
“My aunt used to say, ‘Come here, Boo-Boo!’ and it just stuck.” Was it hard to command respect on the streets with a name so cuddly? “It’s scarier that way,” 50 says. “If someone calls themselves Terminator, you’re like, ‘Yeah, right!’”
5 • In 1994, he was sentenced to prison for possession of 280 grams of crack and 4 ounces of heroin
To avoid hard time, he enrolled in New York’s Shock Incarceration program: boot camp for felons. For six months upstate, he awoke at 5:30 A.M., did push-ups on his knuckles and sawed trees.
6 • His mom swung both ways
50 Cent recalls: “I ain’t see males around my mom. My mama liked women. But I would never see anything that would make me think something sexual was going on. It didn’t dawn on me till later.”
7 • When 50 was 8, his mother was murdered
Sabrina kept her own apartment across town. In 1983, someone drugged her and turned on her gas oven, leaving her to die. “When they found her, her body was fucked up,” 50 later recalled. Today, he says, “My biggest loss was my mom. Everything that went wrong was wrong because she wasn’t there — if I wanted to go to the park and it started raining, it was raining ’cause my mother wasn’t there.”
