Power 106 radio personality Big Boy recently sat down with 50 Cent and wanted to know the amount of the biggest check the G-Unit boss has seen. 50 told him that during his time working with Paul Fireman on the G-Unit sneaker brand the former Reebok chief paid him $80 million. 50 further explained that despite the amount of money he has made he still has goals to reach as a businessman, which is what drives him to keep working hard.
The two also talked about his relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. 50 confirmed that he has some Dre production on his new album , 5 (Murder By Numbers) and a lot more.
Black Hippy member Puff Daddy aka Schoolboy Q sat down with Ashley Outrageous recently to talk about a wide variety of topics recently. The two discussed what fans can expect on his upcoming album, how his song with 50 Cent, "Can I Speak To You" came about and more.
At the end of the conversation Schoolboy shows off his juggling skills.
Soulja Boy and 50 Cent might be going into business together according to a new XXL.com article. The website is reporting that 50 Cent's Cheetah Vision Films could be helping Soulja deliver his much talked 'Juice' remake.
“With the ‘Juice’ movie… 50 Cent, that’s my big bro,” Soulja told XXLMag.com. “He got a movie deal that gave him millions to come up with content. Me and him are going over the Juice movie now. That’s still coming.”
Soulja was referring to 50's 10-film deal with Grindstone/Lionsgate. In 2010, 50's company, Cheetah Vision Films landed a $200 million, 10-picture deal which resulted in movies like 'Freelancers' and 'Setup.' In June 2012, it was announced that the company and Emmet/Furla Films had reached an agreement on another 10 movie deal with Grindstone and Lionsgate.
In April 2011 when the announcement was made that Soulja would be taking on the role of "Bishop" that Tupac Shakur made famous in the 1992 original many fans wondered if the Atlanta rapper could pull it off. Soulja told XXL.com that he would work hard to make sure the remake is done right.
“I know that’s a big thing, I know,” he said. “You can’t just jump right into a movie like that and rush it. It’s a delicate thing, I know. But I got y’all.”
At this point it's unclear how much Cheetah Vision would be involved in the 'Juice' remake, but we'll keep you posted.

Prodigy stopped Power 105.1 this morning to talk with The Breakfast Crew. They cleared the air about a lot of subjects including the rumor P was raped in jail (he wasn't), whether there's beef with Havoc and how Jay-Z got his dance class picture to put on the Summer Jam screen.
P also talked about working with T.I. and Wiz Khalifa on H.N.I.C. 3, a fight he had with Havoc early on in their career, his relationship with 50 Cent and what Mobb Deep has to do to stay relevant.
While most artists struggle to put together one solid effort a year, 50 Cent continues to give fans tons of free quality music. His latest project '5 (Murder By Numbers)' was released via his website Thisis50.com. The street album serves as a warm up to his next official Interscope release 'Street King Immortal.'
"What I'm releasing right now is a part of me wanting music out during the middle of the summer," Fif told MTV News. "I had a plan for myself: I wanted to have the new record come out during my birthday. The artwork didn't matter that much, that's why it was so simple to me to use the number 5. Technically it wouldn't be album number 5, but everyone is waiting for my fifth studio album through Interscope, so I titled it that because it'll build interest in the actual project."
'Street King Immortal' will fulfill 50's contractual obligation to Interscope, but he is not worried about his label situation because he feels fans just want good music regardless of the label.
"I don't really need label support for this project," he said. "It's about the actual music, and I don't think people buy what record label you're on; I think they buy music or buy into the actual artist themselves."
50 added the he and Interscope are 100% on the same page now and he expects no problems with the release of his new album.
"They're in full support of me now. We cleared up audit issues. That's always an issue, when you get to the final album or the final requirement you end up going through the books with everything that you've done," he said. "Once those things are resolved, everyone is ready to get back to work, and that's where we're at."
50 Cent was recently in Detroit and had the chance to sit down with radio station FM 98 WJLB. The G-Unit boss talked about being in a comfortable enough financial space to release his new album '5 (Murder By Numbers)' in today's slow paced record climate. He also talked about his recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Street King, SMS Audioand more.
'5 (Murder By Numbers)' will be released on July 3rd via iTunes.
50 Cent is out of the hospital and recovering following a scary car crash last night in New York.
“He was taken to New York Hospital Queens where he was treated for minor neck and back injuries,” his spokesperson told ABC News. “He was released this morning and is doing fine.”
As we previously reported, 50's bullet proof SUV was rear ended by a Mack truck on the Long Island Expressway when the driver's load shifted causing him to lose control of his vehicle.
As a precautionary measure 50 was taken to to the hospital wearing a neck brace.
This is the second health scare 50 has had within the last month. He was hospitalized in May with a blockage in his small intestine. Fortunately he was able to avoid surgery in that situation after the blockage worked itself out.
50's fifth studio album '5 (Murder By Numbers)' will be released on July 3rd.
50 Cent's new album '5 (Murder By Numbers)' drops on July 3rd. To get the word out the G-Unit boss has been on a non stop promotional run visiting radio stations across the country. He recently stopped by Chicago's Power 92.3 to talk about the project and a lot more.
Topics included Chief Keef's recent signing to Interscope, working with Jeremih, Mann and YG, producers on his new album, Hayes, past beefs, Diddy's wack album 'Last Train In Paris' and more.
50 Cent stopped by WGCI's Tony Sculfield and the Morning Riot show recently and the topic of Dr. Dre's long awaited Detox album came up.
"You you what it is...,he falls in love with music, then he falls out of love with it," 50 said. "I said [to him] you don't have to change anything. [It's] like Sade, when she makes a new album it reminds of the record that I liked from her. And I go 'yeah play that, that's the new one.' And it feels like the last one," Fif explained. "So Dre, he doesn't have to create a formula because he was gone so long if he gives us something that feels like The Chronic people will be happy. It's just so many thought processes or waves to go through to try and figure out exactly what it should be, that he's kind of scattered. You see him working with Rick Ross. He'll work with anybody to try and find something to make the record hands down the best record out there. When I know that he's got his own internal conflicts with that trying to find it, I can't have a problem with whoever he tries to work with"
50 was then asked if there would ever be a collaboration between him and Ross.
"Probably not," 50 said "We probably won't see that."
50 Cent never takes a day off and last night was no different. The business mogul appeared on QVC to help push his SMS Audio brand SYNC and STREET headphones.
While the headphones were selling out, 50 talked about why he created the brand and took a call from a buyer. He demonstrated their durability and explained how they blend well with any genre of music.
50 Cent and Oprah Winfrey's highly anticipated interview was aired last night on Oprah's OWN network. It will probably go down as one of 50's most memorable interviews to date. The G-Unitboss talked with Oprah about everything from his childhood to becoming one of the most successful entertainers in the world today.
Topics included his initial idea that Oprah didn't like him based on the lyrical content of his music, the loss of his mother at the age of 8, getting shot 9 times, why he named his dog Oprah, the difference between 50 Cent and Curtis Jackson, his Street King initiative plus a lot more.
The second part of the interview will air next week at 8pm Eastern.
