50 Cent hakupata pesa nyingi alipojitosa kwa mara ya kwanza kwenye kuigiza show za TV.
Mzaliwa huyo wa Queens aliambia Vulture kwamba “alipungukiwa mshahara mkubwa” alipoanza.
“Hakuna mtu ambaye angeweza kuja na kuniambia nichukue dola 17,000 ili kuigiza kutoka kea prodyuza wakubwa na nifanye muziki,” alisema. “Niliwapa wimbo wa mandhari ya Power. Niliwapa vitu nilivyounganisa , kwa matumaini, itakuwa tofauti. Angalia ninachosema? Mambo yote hayo kwa $ 17,000 kwa kipindi? Ninalipwa zaidi kwenda kwenye klabu usiku. Lakini nilitaka kufanya show. Nilitaka kuifanya iwe nzuri sana.”
“There’s no one that could come and tell me to take $17,000 to act and executive produce and make music,” he said. “I gave them the theme song for Power.I gave them the things that connected, hopefully, in a different way for it. You see what I’m saying? All those things for $17,000 per episode? I get paid more to go to the nightclub and wave. But I wanted to make the show. I wanted to make it so bad.”
50 alisema kwamba alipata pesa nyingi zaidi na filamu za sinema za bajeti ya chini, ambazo zilitolewa kwenye video zilizo tolea kwa muda fulani.
Alielezea kutengeneza zaidi ya 20 ya aina hizo za filamu, zinazofadhiliwa na watu aliokutana nao alipokuwa akisafiri ambao walitaka kuwekeza katika utayarishaji wa filamu,” hatimaye kukusanya $200 milioni zaidi ya Tsh Billion 400 na wishowe, alipata karibu dola milioni 10 kwa kila filamu.
