"The name 50 Cent was first called 'Mr Stîngy Half Dollar Jackson' cuz I was never a sîmp."
"Everyone called me that name because there was never a time in my life when I was a sîmp.
As à teenager, right before starting music, anytime a girl asked me for money, I'll give her 50 cents and say go play a game at the Arcade and win the money you need.
I did that to a lot of girls in my hood and so they started calling me Mr Half Dollar Jackson before Sharon Osbourne finally called it 50 Cent and I liked it.
And till today, if any lady wants money from me, she's gotta work for it because I'm nõt a woman empowerment agency. " ~ 50 Cent
