50 Cent Wants To Grow As A Person

50 Cent is trying to show he’s more than just what people are used to seeing of him. Recently, the rapper traveled to a refugee camp in Dolo, Somalia in support of the United Nations World Food Program. Before he could go, though, he had to convince the UN that he is more than just his image. He did and he’s committed to developing his character.

He explained in an interview with ABC News: “I want to be more, not just as an artist but as a person. My legacy…what’s left behind. I don’t want to be a guy who’s just remembered for writing a few cool songs.” On whether or not his professional and private images conflict: “It doesn’t match. It doesn’t match at all, but this is the next chapter of my life. I don’t care if my audience is prepared to move forward with me. They may not necessarily be growing at the same pace.”
