its true

From the book "From Pieces to Weight":
"I wasn't going to run with the attitude of telling people that I actually taken the name from the real 50 Cent. I just felt it was something an insider would get and the rest of the world would just think it was catchy. The real 50 Cent was a stickup kid from Brooklyn who used to rob rappers. He had passed, but was respected on the streets, so I wanted to keep his name alive. Other rappers were running around calling themselves Al Capone and John Gotti and Pablo Escobar. If I was going to take a gangster's name, then I wanted it at least to be that of someone who whould say "What's up" to me on the street if we ever crossed paths. I couldn't see Gotti or Escobar giving me the time of day."

that book is amazingly good. better than his album.
