50 often speaks on how after losing his mother at an age too young to understand what death meant and never knowing his father he was insensitive to Banks loss of his father since the only real parents he had was his grandparents especially his grandmother so you know he gonna take this hard.
According to reports, Curtis Jackson will rely on Intel to design a collection of exercise-themed headphones.
Jackson’s consumer electronics company, SMS Audio, said Thursday that it will use Intel technology to power the BioSport In-Ear headphones, which will have heart-rate monitoring sensors embedded in the earbuds. The headphones will cost less than $150 and could be popular with both “casual workout enthusiasts and professional athletes,” said SMS Audio President Brian Nohe during a teleconference with reporters.

Back in June, 50 spoke on being motivated by the multi-billion dollar Apple purchase of Beats Electronics.
“The success of Beats is great for us. It makes the category understand how valuable our association is to that company,” he said. “When they see the company, and see that it sold for $3.1 billion, they go: ‘That one is definitely next, that’s the one that has the cool factor connected to it while producing quality products.’ “If there’s another company that does it, it’ll be SMS,” he said. “So it’s like when you’re playing basketball in the park: We got next.” (ABC 13)
The show struck a chord with both African American and White viewers. As the season progressed it generated 71% viewership among African Americans. That represents the largest number for a scripted premium series since 2006.

Power is executive produced by 50 Cent, longtime business partner Randall Emmet, Mark Canton and the show’s creator Courtney Kemp Agboh.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … 50 and his son were at the Burbank Town Center Sunday when Lazzeri Frazier and his son saw 50 and thought it would be cool to shoot some cell phone video.
We’re told 50′s bodyguard came from behind Frazier and snatched the phone out of his hands. Frazier verbally confronted the bodyguard and the bodyguard then allegedly hauled off and shoved Frazier. The 2 began fighting and Frazier’s 16-year-old son stepped in to break up the fight. The son claims the bodyguard punched him in the face.
The bodyguard fled the scene by the time cops arrived. 50 refused to speak to police, but witnesses corroborated Frazier’s story.
Cops tell us the case will be sent over to prosecutors. 50 is not a suspect.
“Jake Gyllenhaal and rapper turned actor 50 Cent were NOT pulling punches on the set of their new boxing flick “Southpaw” when “Fitty” – once a real life street fighter/drug dealer – started jeering nastily at Jake’s boxing moves, then climed into the ring to give him some “friendly” pointers and …POW-BAM-SMASH!…the dueling duo abruptly started boxing for real!“
“Said My SpyWitness: 50 Cent plays a boxing promoter in the film and at one point he started offering Jake some ‘friendly’ off-screen advice on how to play a professional boxer.
But things got heated as he kept taunting him about his boxing skills. So 50 Cent got into the ring, and suddenly started slamming his co-star with powerful left-right combinations. Jake suddenly went down, but jumped right back up and started flailing back at 50! The blows got harder and harder, and that’s when the director suddenly leaped into the ring and forcibly separated the anger-driven actors!”
No one was declared the winner – but Fitty was flat-out warned: Stay OUT of the ring and do NOT slug the star of our film…EVER!”
Taking to his own Instagram, 50 Cent posted photos of Ms. Jackson, including one of her hugged up with Nelly. 50 Cent, obviously, finds the situation to be funny, especially given how sexy Ms. Jackson is to him. He told Floyd he needs to find a way to get her back.
What occurred during the concert would be Slowbucks getting his chain snatched on the stage by a G-Unit affiliate while the rapper continued to perform, a moment that wouldn’t be cool for Slowbucks.
Shortly after the post, Slow then posted a photo of his friends in Queens where 50 Cent grew up.
“#SlowbucksOverEverthing #QueensGetTheMoney” he captioned the photo.
His affiliates snapped a pic on the corner of Guy R. Brewer Boulevard and 134th Avenue, where the rapper has claimed his hustling days began.
“I’m out of control now, watch my next move. STRATEGY #smsaudio #animalambition #power,” 50 Cent says in an announcement post the rapper made on Instagram post.
“The World Is BMF’s,” the post says. “B.M.F. The movie coming soon, A CHEETA VISION PRODUCTION Executive produced by Curtis (50cent) jackson Welcome to the south.”
50 Cent has executive produced several projects, including the Starz series Power.
Some chided the act of turning Fingers in.
Mike Lighty said on twitter, “#ShoutOut The coward @slowbucks For Snitching On the Homie Aka Tio #MikeyFingers !!!!! These @slowbucks Cats talk about killing drugs and gangs But when the block Is flamming these be the same Cowards Snitching and pointing People Out ….. #Free my ni**a #MikeyFingers !!!!”
Slowbucks seemed to have a counter to the “no snitching” stance by others in the community.
Slowbucks is an urban clothing brand named after 2 friends a Haitian kid named Winslow & his Puerto Rican BFF Bugsy or Slow & Bucks for short. Slow was 1 of many lil niccas from Queens who used to run under 50 when G-Unit started and was in Fif’s “In My Hoood” video at the :33 clip.
Meanwhile Bucks was !!in with Juelz Skull Gang because they grew up with Banks cousin John Depp who Juelz signed to Skull Gang. Because of Slows relationship with G-Unit & Bucks relationship with Skull Gang they were able to orchestrate Banks & Juelz collaboration for “Beemer Benz & Bentley” and therefore get a lil clout in the industry since the song was a hit.
When they eventually formed Slowbucks the clothing line, 50 co-signed cause they was his lil niccas.
However 50 began to separate himself from Slowbucks because they mainly Slow began aligning himself with Fif’s enemies like Rick Ross & DJ Khaled. But Slow really did this for publicity photo ops for his brand and to get them to wear his shirts which they did and in turn got fans to buy them which they did and eventually secured a distribution deal with Marc Echo and that’s how they made their real money.
Trav who was a G-Unit affiliate and is the younger brother to one of 50′s other goon Hov then disses 50 on Twitter for allegedly !!ting on Banks & Yayo who are having financial trouble.
Then Trav gets pushed by 50 onstage when Meek brings him out.
But if that wasn’t enough Trav responds to it with a diss video which features you guessed it Slow & Bucks.
However the nail in the coffin was when after Trav makes that diss song towards 50 with all 3 featured in the video, Trav & Slowbucks decide to take a picture with 50′s estranged son Marquise and post it on Instagram with Slow giving the middle finger.
And 50 )who used this same tactic against his enemy and new Slowbucks a$sociate Rick Ross when he had Ricks son & bm on video in Vegas at Floyd’s mansion) let them know this was a bad idea.
To make matters worse Slow put up a funny video of a kid asking why you mad bro after 50′s comment that a lot of people thought was Slow trolling Fif.http://Instagram.com/p/nOIyDZS0Mb/
Regardless as I and a lot of people said on here when 50 commented that pic was a bad idea it almost for sure meant retaliation. I don’t know why Trav & Slowbucks would play with Fif like that. Everyone knows 50 is crazy and a rich official street nicca. His own enemies like Bang Em, Domination & Chaz have gone on record and said though they don’t like him 50 is a real nicca and really about that life. Wakas Uncle Bimmy who was a Supreme Team underboss went on record and said 50 is a gangster. If you judge a street nicca by his enemies why go against a nicca who had beef with Supreme, Jimmy Henchman, Haitian Jack, Hamo, Suge Knight, Jimmy Iovine & murk Inc and won each time?
Cause if you do then this is what happens -
In what may be a Summer Jam first Slow Bucks and members of his crew were assaulted and robbed onstage during 50 Cent’s performance.
While 50 and Fabolous performed Cuffing Season Slow Bucks can clearly be seen being assaulted and robbed.
Adding insult to injury 50 performed the rest of his set wearing Slow Bucks chain.
