Why 50 Cent Doesn't Rap About Being Rich Anymore
. "I think that the thing that gets in the way of my core audience, like my original fans, is the success itself. They go, 'ah, he's rich, he can't rap like that.' See, that's funny because the guys that are rapping like they rich don't have it," 50 Cent said. "So the guys who don't have the money are rapping like they have the money, but they've exhausted it so much that it's not exciting for me to write it. It's just because they're inspired to have it. Meanwhile, when you actually make it, you look back at how far you've come. You'll have an interest in writing things that you missed writing on that first project." The "Chase the Paper" rapper was candid when asked about his relationship with model Tatted Up Holly (who he calls "my girlfriend, that's my friend, a homey"), espousing surprisingly conservative values when it comes to love and romance. "The only thing I value is friendship. It's the strongest form of relationship," he said. "If you jump past friendship, what you gon' find is that after one of the two people's expectations aren't met, they won't even bother to be friends. People meet each other and move to fast. The intimacy makes them feel like there's something special between the two of them. How many times have you seen the divorce factor and never communicate with each other ever again?" more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
