50 Cent 515

Bugsy’s about to get broke off big time:

“50 Cent, the man who made a reported $200 million from his deal with Vitamin Water, is now said to be in negotiations with the Rupert Murdoch founded News Corp for a reported $300 million. According to ThisIs50.com, the deal would go into effect in 2009, in which News Corp would take a large stake in all aspects of the 50 Cent brand.

The deal would help launch the company’s MySpace Records, as 50 and his G-Unit roster would move under the label’s umbrella. Sources say half the deal will be in stock, in which 50 Cent would become one of the largest shareholders of News Corp.

Also under the deal, 50′s online community, ThisIs50.com, would be acquired by News Corp, his touring would be marketed through and sold via the company, and would also include a G-Unit book deal, and music publishing for 50 and the artists under his label.”

It looks like ole Ugg-A-Mugg is really building up that mogul status. We’re not surprised though, this cat is all about a dollar….But the term “corporate whore” keeps entering our minds.

  • bree

    what happens when they don’t sell records? does he lose his share?

    are people still checking for him?

  • Kim

    GOSH, HE IS SO UGLY…………….

  • MR FLORIDA

    Can’t hate on another black man getting money the LEGAL way. even if his music is sucking now…..he still getting paper. oh well. I like money too

  • glok9n

    @KIM IZ MONKEY BYTCH!CURIOUS GEORGETTE!

  • soulwoman

    I don’t really know if giving him props is a good thing. I mean, 50 does not have the popularity he once had…he is no longer a brand people buy into. G-unit artists, who are they? It seems as though News Corp is going to lose a lot of money.

  • Kim

    @glok9n

    TALK TO THE HAND

    NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    i dont know why companies investing money in him like that .. this dude is .. in his own words a “wanksta”. phony as hell and people aint feeling him thats why his last album didnt get up off the ground

  • http://www.raiders.com M-DADDY’S OAKLAND’S FINEST’S AKA F.B.I. (ALL SHADES OF BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL)

    Personally I dont like this guy too much but I have to hand it to him he is very business savy

  • Sam

    50 is officially selling out and I’m not referring to no damn concert!!!

  • muvaphknmega

    You people are a bunch of cotton pickin’ haters. Typical of black folks to hate on another black person. Here’s someone we should all be admiring and try to be more like but the only responses we get is that he’s ugly. I guess you guys are tight because you can’t pay ur bills and never owned any properts or never made anything of yourselves.

  • Jahpson

    and he keeps getting money.

    **packs bags**

    as a hater, he really shut me azz up LOL

  • Jahpson

    know what? F that!!

    can’t hate on a man who probably signing whiteys checks!!

    go head 50..ya big headed gorilla!!

  • LadyLuv

    Not a Fifty fan but I can respect his business sense. He may not be as popular as he once was but at least he had enough sense to make business moves so he will have money after the rap thing falls off.

  • Z

    @ glok

    is that your cuzzin? is he giving you some of HIS money? do he come in and save the day on them cold hungry nights? no nucca. jump off his dick.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    WOW News Corp put the LIVE NATION deal with Jay-Z and Madonna to shame.

    This is what happen when money and music mix together

    Quality control is thrown out the window!

  • I’m Just Me

    @ BREE…NOPE No one is still checking for him or them. Lame @$$ Yayo just breathing his hot acid breath into the mic. Ridiculous.

    So Rupert is now in the business of losing money…daxn shame.

  • Doagae

    @muvaphknmega

    Why do you think people are hating and that this is “typical black folk” stuff?? I am just curious…I read that on here a lot. When someone voices their opinion about another person who has not done one damn thing to uplift our community but instead exploits its weaknesses and flaws to put money in their own pockets….they people gotta be hatin’. How bout this….know what the phuck you are talking about sometimes and then make a damn assumption….The part you said about being tight about not being able to pay the bills…that was real brilliant..what are you 14 or something??? Get a phucking clue. This trick is garbage and I PROMISE you that there will be no deal like the one being reported made with this assjerk! Yesterday the number was 300 million and today it’s 200…..just like the vitamin water deal…the numbers are being inflated…..

  • da darkness

    sun sun is young in charge. showing those 60′s babies how to do the damn thing. 50 you better do the damn thang. this is paper dre and em can’t get not a scent of, possibly

  • I’m Just Me

  • glok9n

    @SHAY! DO YOU SIS!

  • muvaphknmega

    @Do-Gay First that the stupidest moniker I’ve ever seen. A lot of the comments voiced on here are simply hate. And I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings about haters mad cuz they can’t pay their bills. Did that get too personal for ya? Inflated #’s? You sound as stupid as the people saying he lied about getting shot 9X and that he’s not real anymore because it was only 3. You’re luck to survive one. BTW: 50 does up lift black people think of how many dudes out there are going to be more motivated to pursue their dreams because they want to do what he’s doing. He makes violent music! So F’n what! Matin Scorcesse make violent movies!

  • LadyLuv

    @I’m Just Me

    I’ve heard rumors that 50 gets down in the bedroom, loves to pleasure the woman he is with not sure if its true or not but I have heard it from several sources

  • x

    This merger makes total sense, since both 50 and Murdoch make their money exploiting the black community. They have both dedicated their careers to keeping blacks down. I hope 50 uses the money to get himself a first class seat to hell.

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    I’m Just Me

    To sleep with fifty cent….

    Would you, Could on a boat? On a train in the rain? Or an aeroplane?

    @ Lady Luv I want to throw up trying to just imagine it. Either way I still wouldn’t do it. I DO HATE his cockiness and that cheesy grin that he always has. He looks like he cannot be trusted and I hate people like that.

    @ Smokey…

    Would I, could I lose my lunch? I couldn’t, wouldn’t dare sleep with Butt Munch. Not with a dog, not with a rat, I wouldn’t dare sleep with this big brat. Not in the rain or in a blouse, not for a million would I set foot in his house. Not with his pole, fingers or lox, I wouldn’t let him come near my hot box!

  • cocoa49

  • Z

    that you shay for sticking up for me. but its this simple. 50 is trash. i don’t know what other way to say it. i don’t respect his hustle. i don’t feel he deserve it. I never did. I live in Harlem and when his undergroung mixtapes was all the buzz when i was 16, I wasn’t even impressed then. he is just whack to me. ioono how else to say it.

    anyway…. My name is Anzania…Z for short. hatin ass nucca. is there anything else you could like to know glock? u want a myspace link or sumthin to do some research? wassup? You name it…

  • Rambo

    @RAMBO

    WHATEVER. I KNOW I AM THE SHYT. ENOUGH SAID.

  • Rambo

    @ smdh where’s the negative comments he has said about us black people…/

    not rappers but the general black public…

    please enlighten me…

  • Z

    you are a big Gee in harlem…

    imma leave it alone. I’m not going to say shyt.

    so ignorant. Sometimes i feel so sorry for my people. and i blame IGNORANT MOFOS LIKE 50. FOR SPREADING IT. There is something very wrong and I don’t know you Glock, but i will say you need to straighten out your mentality asap.

    I’m going to finish some work now before i wrap up my day. Have a wonderful afternoon everyone.

  • Z

    well Rambo we are entitled to our different opinions. you think my attitude is ugly bc i don’t support 50? oh well. I did support him. I brought the bootleg for his first album when it came out. thats as much as he get from me. sorry it bothers you so much i don’t care for him. you’ll be aight. Peace

  • http://www.raiders.com M-DADDY’S OAKLAND’S FINEST’S AKA F.B.I. (ALL SHADES OF BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL)

    You cant knock this man’s hustle. He is definately marketable

  • jimecap

    Big Ups Mr. 50cents you big ol pimp. lol

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    That’s big time money, but what I don’t get is what’s so good about it when he doesn’t allow anyone else to shine on his label?! What good is this going to do?

  • Rambo

    @ z

    you got it wrong….

    i think when people like you say 50 is hurting black people you fail to look at the big picture…

    i feel he’s helped more than he’s hurt…

    but keep listening to yo Kufi music… and pray that all the problems of the world will just disappear

  • http://www.myspace.com/birdshu Bird

    That deal sounds like he is selling his soul to these people much like Jay did. The end result for Jay is that neither him nor Dame own Rocafella nor do either of them work for the company anymore. 50 is doing the same thing, but he doesn’t have the business etiquette to get some head office gig at a lable like Jay. In the end he will end up like Dame with a whole lot of money and a whole bunch of time on his hands to spend it up until he is broke. Contrary to popular belief it is possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars pretty quickly. Just ask Hammer.

  • Ara

    Not enough money, ask for more money….

  • And…..

    I can’t stand 50. His ass has sold his soul to the devil, and now he is cashing in. Don’t think all of that Bush-backing/token hip-hop mouth piece was for nothing.

  • SMDH

    @ Z

    “check it out. broke? never. ugly? never. And i could pretty much bet my entire hand that I am doing far better than your ignorant ass.”

    Why is it mutt arguing at you?? Isn’t this a so-called man??

  • Z

    I got you shay shay.

    @SMDH

    Ioono why i am arguing. Boredom. Waiting for a fax and killing time arguing with stupid people. Thats about it.

  • anonymous

    I don’t understand the hate for a man who is intelligent enough to increase his wealth by investing and forming partnerships with major companies.

    In the next ten years this man will be a media mogul. He’s is making his money work, thereby, increasing his wealth. Smart black man. Keep deriding him. He will have the last laugh.

  • Ghost

    People aren’t hating on No Cents. It’s just that it’s hard to support a man that made most of his money bashing other people for a living. Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Ms. Keys and others.

    And if he REALLY wanted to help the black community. lower the prices of your clothes so I don’t have to spend weekends having to confort a mother because her son got his head blasted off over a G-Unit jacket. Create some scholarships, donate to HBCU or buy a network or sports team (you’ll be amazed at how many minor league teams are owned by black folk).

    He’s cashing out because his days are numbered. People are tired of him. Although I would have prefered that he kept his stuff as now we have yet another white company owning black stuff. How do you control what black folk see? You buy out anything and everything black owned. Just ask BET.

  • BunnyHopper

    ISn’t this the same man that talked about Oprah Winfrey (calling her a white woman) yet he has his big black lips all over the white corporate d**k!!!!
