50 Cent won't be giving up music

50 Cent won't be giving up music

50 Cent has revealed he doesn't see himself retiring from the music business.

The three-time Mobo-winning rapper has expanded into writing for films, acting, fashion and property, but insisted he'll continue being a music mogul.

"I don't think I'll retire - I think you should look forward to me going behind the scenes more, I still have passion for music," he told The Independent.

"The music business itself has changed. If you can't figure out how to develop the brand extension and opportunities that allow you to build up the marketing dollar, I don't see how you can continue to be a superstar."

Since appearing in 2007's Home Of The Brave, Fiddy - whose real name is Curtis Jackson - has had roles in Righteous Kill with Robert De Niro and Dead Man Running, and set up his own film company.

"For me, it's an opportunity. I've created two other projects: Gun with myself, Val Kilmer... and I wrote and produced a film called Love Me, Love Me Not, so I'm looking forward to a lot of different things."

Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
