Nigerian-American actor and singer Rotimi, born Olurotimi Akinosho, recently shared details about his past record deal with American rapper and actor 50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson III) during an interview with DJ Vlad.

In the interview, Rotimi disclosed that he owed 50 Cent $300,000 from their business dealings, a debt related to his music career when he was signed to 50 Cent’s label.

Rotimi explained that the amount stemmed from a typical label agreement, where the label invests in an artist’s work up front, essentially providing a loan.

He clarified that after 50 Cent allowed him to become independent, the rapper stipulated that Rotimi would pay him back through a percentage of his music earnings until the debt was cleared.

In a surprising twist, the Nigerian singer revealed that 50 Cent had planned a marketing strategy around the debt. Following the success of Rotimi’s EP “Walk With Me,” which topped the R&B charts for four days, 50 Cent called him and suggested creating public drama by falsely claiming that Rotimi owed him money and their relationship had soured.

This deliberate move stirred public interest, highlighting 50 Cent’s business savvy and his creative approach to boosting attention around his investments.

Rotimi’s story illuminates the complexities of the music industry, particularly how label agreements and strategic marketing tactics play a significant role in an artist’s journey.

This move marks another significant milestone in 50 Cent’s expanding business portfolio, giving South African consumers access to his high-end liquor line.

Fans are eager to get their hands on the exclusive bottles, though the announcement has also sparked discussions on social media.

While many expressed excitement, others voiced concerns about the lack of local job creation tied to such foreign ventures. One user commented, “South Africa is one of the biggest markets in the world, but these brands aren’t creating jobs. We have an unemployment rate over 40%, mostly affecting the youth target market.”

The introduction of 50 Cent’s luxury brands comes at a time of mixed emotions, but fans remain enthusiastic about the opportunity to experience his premium products.

American artist Curtis James Jackson III, known professionally as 50 Cent, believes Future is currently a more prominent artist than Jay Z.

The hip-hop mogul was asked if he agreed that Future is “bigger in the streets” than JAY-Z during his interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

“Future said in the streets he’s bigger than Hov,” Melber said while discussing what makes an artist relevant in hip-hop.

“Yeah, he is, way bigger,” 50 responded before making a case for Future’s catalog. “There’s consistent music from him that didn’t chart that [are] huge records that people love and appreciate that.”

While Future may be big in the streets, 50 stated he has less chart-topping hits. “Future’s gonna have to be No. 1 internally because those records didn’t chart,” he said. “Later in his career, they’re not gonna look at the stats and say, we should pay you this kind of money because of records that were great on the street.”

In the streets im bigger then jigga. Ima run me a B up easy.

Melber also asked 50 Cent whether he agreed that JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Nas were the top 3 rappers. He said: “They’re still good artists, but not of all time.”

He also didn’t agree that JAY-Z would be No. 2 after him. “Probably not. It depends on the time period. To me, how do you not look at the No. 1 selling artist?” he said, suggesting that Eminem should be in the top 3 because he’s “sold like 90 million records.”
