In 2008, Taco Bell approached 50 cent with an offer to change his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent, with the idea it would promoted Taco Bell's new value meals. In return, Taco Bell promised to donate $10,000 to a charity of his choice if he also agrees to stop at one of their outlets and rap his order at the drive-thru. (edit) 50 Cent bought a 1965 Chevy Impala for his Streets of Blood in Louisiana co-star Val Kilmer. The two share a love of vintage cars. (edit) 50 Cent was #83 on BET's Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2007 for his video "Straight to the Bank." (edit) The title of his song "I'll Still Kill" featuring Akon was changed to "I Still Will" because of the violent nature of the name. (edit) His third album "Curtis" sold 691,000 copies its first week of release. (edit)

50 Cent: I, when I was just a kid, savored my skittles to ensure the luscious flavor. (edit) 50 Cent (declaring he would quit performing if Kanye West sold more albums than him): Let's raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer perform music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums. They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite. Everybody roots for the underdog when he goes against the favorite. (edit) 50 Cent (on launching his own range of condoms): The kids become immune when you constantly beat them over the head, 'Read a book, read a book.' We have to be a little more creative about it. It's the same with safe sex. As opposed to being part of a safe sex campaign, I'm going to make condoms and donate a part of the proceeds to HIV awareness. (edit) 50 Cent: I had sex for the first time when I was 12-years-old with a grown-ass woman. Like, 22. She wasn't really attractive. I was a big 12-year-old though. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was ready! (edit) 50 Cent: A lot of kids join the Army to get a college education. That's why they do it, and they get sent into these horrible situations.
