All The Business Wins 50 Cent Had In 2024 So Far
We’re two decades into 50 Cent‘s career after his debut in 2003, and somehow, someway, the man can’t seem to miss. 2024 has seen Fif going crazy with accomplishments and soaring to new heights with his continued pivot into TV & film. It all began in January when he hit his Instagram page to announce that he has “big ideas” in motion, so ambitious that it would require him to refrain from some worldly indulgences.
“My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level,” he captioned the post, foreshadowing the lucrative months to follow.
Since then, the legendary emcee has gone on to kick off his own festival, open up a film studio, nab some additional endorsements, dunk on a couple of rivals, and more.
It’s like Fif said in 2003, “Wanna get rich? I’ll show you how,” and in the year 2024, he’s staying true to his promise.
Here are most of the W’s 50 Cent has taken on the business front this year. “
