Fat Joe and Jadakiss recently shared their thoughts on 50 Cent’s commitment to physical fitness as he turns 50 years old, particularly in light of reports suggesting that the rapper and actor may be using steroids to prepare for an upcoming movie role. During a candid discussion, the two hip-hop icons celebrated 50 Cent’s milestone birthday while also acknowledging the lengths he is going to in order to achieve his desired physique for the film.
“Happy birthday to Fifth! 50 turned 50. Damn. Big shout out. Welcome to the 50 club,” Fat Joe said, reflecting on their longstanding friendship with the rapper. He emphasized 50 Cent’s influence and reach, noting that even friends in Dubai look to him as a primary source of news, showcasing his celebrity status beyond the music industry. “They don’t watch CNN and Fox. They looking at 50 Cent like he’s the news of America,” Joe remarked.
As they discussed 50 Cent’s rigorous workout regimen, which reportedly includes training three times a day, both Fat Joe and Jadakiss expressed admiration for his dedication. However, they also humorously hinted at the possibility of steroid use, with Fat Joe stating, “He’s going to get like stupid diesel.” This playful banter underscored their camaraderie while also raising eyebrows about the pressures of Hollywood and the extremes some actors may go to for roles.
Jadakiss added to the conversation by recalling a past incident when 50 Cent became ill while preparing for a different role, highlighting his serious approach to acting. “He takes that acting [stuff] serious,” he noted, reinforcing the idea that 50 Cent is willing to go to great lengths for his craft.
Their discussion also touched upon loyalty within their circle, with Fat Joe jokingly suggesting he would trade one of his close associates for 50 Cent’s loyal friend, Tony Yayo. “Yayo, he jumps in front of the gun. 50 runs like he’s ready to take a bullet. That’s the type of loyalty I need on my team,” he said, showcasing the strong bonds within their community.
In a light-hearted moment, Fat Joe took the opportunity to assert his own discipline, claiming, “I’m the biggest natural because I never had sex like Jesus,” suggesting that his commitment to fitness comes from self-discipline rather than performance-enhancing substances. He comically added, “The only man in the world who can do handstand push-ups with his fist fingers.”
As the conversation wrapped up, both artists expressed their admiration for 50 Cent, acknowledging his significant impact on the music industry and beyond. “50 Cent, we love you, man. Salute to the god,” they concluded, celebrating both his birthday and his unwavering dedication to his craft.
As 50 Cent embarks on this new chapter at age 50, his fans and peers alike are eager to see how his commitment to fitness and acting will unfold in the coming months.
