GM Cancels 50 Cents Truck Sponsorship
Posted by Bossip Staff
General Motors has just received their bailout and they are putting the brakes on all shady ventures, including 50’s G8 truck:
General Motors Corporation has confirmed today (January 7) plans to cancel the Pontiac G8, a 50 Cent sponsored sport truck. The two-door, six-foot bed vehicle was scheduled to debut in North America in 2010. 50 Cent first introduced the G8 sport truck last March at the New York International Auto Show. In a statement to the Associated Press, Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson stated the cancellation is part of a restructuring plan within GM due to the recession and the company’s long-term “vision for Pontiac.”
Like we have said before 50, it is time to cut your losses, savor your assets, and move out of that gawdy house. SMH

They dont see the need to pay him all that money…a lot of dealers are cutting back on advertising…
If that’s true, then I think it’s not a bad move in this recession. Fitty will get over it.
Hi Hannibal!
09 is starting rough for 50…first the reaity show was cancled…now this…
HELLO AUNT VIV
Never mind shady…its probably just the fact that *****ody is BUYING them big monster trucks anymore. Why invest advertising in ‘em?
Co-sign eveinthegarden. This is a sound fiscal decision.
I dont like 50, but from a business view it may be a mistake…Why? Negros love Escalades and Suburbans, and will buy them no matter what…Sad but true…
@eveinthegarden
Actually the #1 selling VEHICLE was the Ford F150
OK GUYS, see that little truck he is sitting on ?
That is no where close to a big-truck. His little g8 was the equivalent of a sport-tracker or a sports utility vehicle. You are correct though aunt viv. A sound business move, regardless.
It looks like an el camino anyway…..Now I wish morons would stop yelling about all the paper this clown has….he keeps LOSING endorsements…
I wish they would cancel his Bull***** rap career… But that’s just me….
@in4mustpimpette
cosign (about R&B). Now THAT is dead. Luther, Barry, Hayes, Gaye….The list of baby making musicians goes on..
whoa, wrong forum…
All of the auto companies cut back on advertising. Eve is correct.
Buick dropped Tiger Woods and he was as bankable as they come but Bossip doesn’t read about stuff like that because he’s caublasian.
THAT TRUCK WAS UGLY THATS WHY THEY CUT IT. REGARDLESS WHO NAME IS ON IT IT WAS WACK. THEY KNEW IT SO THEY MOVING ON. THEY HAD BAD REVIEWS ON THAT VEHICLE SINCE BEFORE THE AUTO SHOW
he should of saw this commin. what a dumb*****
Dang this site is MTO jr.
gm were the main ones looking for a bailout…i doubt they’re throwing around money to stars for promo. 50 is not exactly considered a HOT commodity these days
He’s no loonger relevant, he better start conserving them coins, cus if he’s spending more than he’s making then trouble is looming on the horizon for ole’ bugs donkey.
havin fiddy’s hot black azz on the gm truck aint gonna make me buy domestic…. sorry.
Good … ***** 50

CREDIT CRUNCH!
They stop doing business with 50 cuz they realized their cars are primarily
bought by older southern rebel conservative white folks that dont need these violent, ghetto fab niccaz like 50 and TI ruining whatever is left of their companies good name and business .
This ***** betta get some act right that ***** got in the game hating on *****s he still bumping his gums hating on *****s the ***** talk too much. That ***** talked that ***** about Nas, he might be the next ***** to flop and eventually be like Ja rule or master p or fat joe irrelevant as *****. Basically the *****s karma is *****ed up he act like he dont like *****ody that ***** keep going at all the good rappers he cant beat em all that ***** wont beef wit some *****s though like Scarface he wouldnt disrespect that dude. Hey But damn that grandprix or whatever was looking like a el camino that was kinda hyphy.
Who cares? Look at the truck. Besides the fact that it is ugly, is it even economically smart to by a two-seater truck that is not all purpose? People need to be intelligent about what they buy and this right here would not have been a smart move. Two guesses on how many times 50 would have been seen in that truck anyway.
aw, first your show gets cancelled, now this?? maybe this will teach him he’s not an A-list celebrity and he will stop being arrogant, get off his *****, and start working.
Hell, Buick canceled on Tiger almost a month ago. That’s nothing new.
OH WELL 50 WILL BE ALRIGHT HOPEFULLY LOL
Bossip you need to stop hatin on 50. The ***** has gotten personal. Like Unkle Ruckus sais buick canceled on Tiger a month ago and nothing much was said, but because it’s 50 yall *****es got a whole lot to say. We are in a recession so that means 50 is not the only one who is having problems selling his house, and may lose money in investments.
Get a grip please.
he is so FLY
yo im 50s biggest fan son nd dey shouldnt do dat to him its his fault dat dey made all of dat money any how
thats sad, looks like a hot car. on some 22’s or 24’s that would be the *****, only not if your broke though. thats to the angry haters above this comment.
to even get that sponsership was huge. ya’ll stop hating on that playa. he plays the game well. that ***** made so much money sooooo fast got ya’ll jealous broke ***** *****s crying. to hate 50 is just to hate his game and yoself.
