50 Cent's life and music career

Today we will look at the biography and memorable moments of the most influential Hop-Hop'a performer 50 cent. Of course, in one article it is impossible to describe all the achievements of Curtis Jackson, we will highlight only the most striking and memorable moments from his life. Curtis Jackson lost his parents early, at that time he was only 8 years old, he never saw his father and was not interested in his fate. Already in high school Curtis began to sell illegal substances, thereby earning a living.

He was soon caught red-handed and convicted, but he was released after 6 months. He then began recording raps about his hard gangster life. When fame first touched him, something happened that Curtis certainly didn't expect: he was literally shot. As he was sitting in his car, an unknown man suddenly ran up to him and shot Curtis nine times.

The bullet knocked out several teeth and hit his tongue, Curtis Jackson almost lost his voice, his legs, chest and thigh were also wounded. After this incident, the rapper began wearing a bulletproof vest when appearing in public. After recovery, Curtis began to work closely with music and began to earn good money on it.

Curtis Jackson (50 cent) in the mid-noughties sounded at all the parties, was on the ringtones and was considered one of the most famous rappers. "In Da Club", "Candy Shop", "Peep Show", "Just a Lil Bit"... If you don't know these hits, you missed a whole era.

This era passed somehow very quickly, abruptly and imperceptibly, as if only yesterday we were transmitting these tracks on the ik-port, and already today 50 cent has evaporated somewhere. Only true fans know about his state of affairs.

Eminem influenced Curtis Jackson's development as a musician

That's exactly what 50 cent himself says, Eminem him in his eyes has always been an optimist.

"No matter what happened, Eminem always took on difficult projects that no one else would have taken on. A lot of my success is due to him," Jackson says.

So they made an acclaimed music video called "You Don't Know" in which they portray particularly dangerous criminals.

Did "career sunset" come up unnoticed?

In fact, it's silly to talk about career decline, 50 cent just got caught up in a series of scandals, mostly related to money, which as he said, he doesn't have a pecking order. The fame has passed, "the money is over" (not really). The news that 50 cent went bankrupt spread quickly, it was a cause for jokes on the internet. A little later he managed to pay off all his debts. He also discovered that he once sold his album "Animal Ambition" for cryptocurrency and completely forgot to exchange his bitcoins for fiat, so he became the owner of $7 million. He confirmed all this on his instagram page, but later wrote that it was a joke. Whether it is true or really a joke remains to be seen.

Between music and film

Fans of 50 cent are seriously worried about the health of Curtis Jackson, as in the network appeared his photos, where he does not look like himself at all (very thin).

It turned out that Curtis dropped his weight from 90kg to 70 for the sake of filming a film called Nothing Adds Up. He went completely into film and started acting in many films and TV series. It is also known that Curtis Jackson is engaged in entrepreneurial activities and maintains his Instagram page, which already has 26 million followers.

In 2018 came out the dynamic action film "Thief Hunt" with Curtis, a little later he starred with Sylvester Stallone in the film "Escape Plan 2", and a year later has already starred in "Escape Plan 3". At the moment, the filming of the film "Thief Hunt 2" is already underway.
