50 Cent in Book Deal

In yet another change of direction, 50 Cent has added publishing as another string to his multi-million dollar business empire. In a joint venture with MTV/Pocket Books, his new line of "gritty and true-to-life," hip-hop novellas launches this month under his G-Unit Books label, with 3 titles: Death Before Dishonor by Nikki Turner, Baby Brother by Noire and The Ski Mask Way by K. Elliot.

In 2005 the rapper turned actor earned almost $41 million dollars (£21,037,724), from record sales and branding deals that include a clothing line, a line of sneakers, a video game and his G-Unit line of clothing.

GQ here. For me, 50 cents is poisoning the youth with his music, films, books, and games. See the film 'Inside Man' to check Spikes diss of 50, and his video games!

LOL. Who'd of thought it, I always thought 50 & Books go together like Superman and Kryponite.
