Article 50 Cent: 'I've learned from Mike Tyson'

bookert · 11-29-2008, 10:02 AM

50 Cent has revealed that he has learned from the mistakes of fallen boxing legend Mike Tyson.

The rapper bought Tyson's home in Farmington, Connecticut in 2003 after the boxer fell on hard times. He said that the house, which features six kitchens and 37 bathrooms, is a reminder of the dangers of overspending.

"I'm waking up in a room that was previously Mike Tyson's bedroom, a fighter who earned over $500 million (£325 million) in his actual career, and when I purchased his house from him he was in bankruptcy," he said.

"If that's not a strong enough reminder for you, I don't know what's going to remind you to be aware of where you are financially and make conscious decisions."

50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, also admitted that he has felt the impact of the global economic credit crunch.

"I sit with my investors and business managers and accountants looking at the numbers and I'm like: 'Yo, the values of stocks in different areas that I invested in are decreasing!' So I take the loss like everybody else," he said.

The only difference between us and him when it comes to the credit crunch is he has money to fall back on and has money stashed away.....when it comes to your average person the money they earn gets spent on getting by and dont really have much room to save money and put it aside like he does.

Im not hatin' cause he is also right that you gotta look after your finances and not over spend or the consequences will get you

He has already said that b4 in 2007, that he wakes up everyday thinking that he is in the House of a man who earned 500 mils and lost it and that reminds him of that shit.

I understand where he coming from, he has been thru alot of struggle, and going back there aint nice.

Most niggaz say that 50 cant come back to the hood and shit, but 90% of those niggaz are in the hood coz they either Undercover Cops, CO's like Officer Rick,Snitches like T.I and shit.

Same with Game, niggaz saying nigga fake this and nigga fake that, but when he punches niggaz they file lawsuits.

What do you mean it's good to see a rich minority be responsible? That's just straight up racist talk, and unnecessary. Whether or not you're financially responsible or not has nothing to do with your race. Think before you speak.

Race has nothin to do with his post so what the fuck are u talkin bout..

I would'nt go that far. There are some billionaires who lost 10 times more than 50's entire net worth in one day. The market is crazy right now.

i agree with you homie he must be a child ... blk ppl esp rappers when we get money first thing we do is spend it and usually buy something stupid and expensive to show to everyone "hey look at me" while some of my white friends parents they would put their money into stocks

How is it racist? Are you serious? Dude,of course there are irresponsible black and latino millionaires. Just like there are irresponsible white, mulatto, asian, native american, (insert race here) millionaires. There is no difference between the races, to where you can say this group of people is more irresponsible then this other group. To imply otherwise is to display ignorance, and yes, RACISM. Honestly, why does this need to be spelled out for you?

youre a fool....the majority of iresponsible millionaires is minorities.....financially most of these rappers only look for present benifites instead if the future...tahts why you see so many artist go broke after a while. mc hammer, mike tyson, bobby brown, 50 cent almost fucked up, like the list goes on n on...aint nothing racist about it...im purto rican, how the hell am i racist against minorities if im 1 of them...fuck outta here....you right every race has its fuck up, but by number, minorities are the worse, hispanic. black, etc.....read between the lines and top acting of seeing the word minoritie..
