Biography of 50 Cent
He still showed love and rhymed over a Trackmasters produced remix of “I’m Gonna Be Alright” on J-Lo’s latest album, but rivals at Murder Inc. Born in the South Jamaica section of Queens, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has lived in New York City all his life. Growing up, the Queens rapper originally wanted to be a heavyweight boxer, but eventually fell back on rapping. It’s well deserved because he’s “been patiently waiting.”. That event led to the fall out with Columbia and negotiating his release from their grasps.
