50 Cent Addresses Nearing Billionaire Status, Still ‘Wants a Discount’
Fif would rather you call him "very rich."
50 Cent doesn’t want you to treat him any differently, even though he is “very rich.”
The rapper and media mogul took to Instagram on Wednesday, where he posted a screenshot of a Us Weekly article about him nearing billionaire status.
“I don’t want this to make you think I don’t need a discount, because I want a discount,” he wrote, adding, “LOL.”
The Grammy winner graced the cover of the latest issue of Us Weekly where he discussed his successes and wins.
"I’m not in a hurry to reach billionaire status," Fif, who recently held his four-day Humor & Harmony Weekend festival in Shreveport, Louisiana, told the publication. "I’ve reached a point where I don’t want anything I don’t have. What’s the rush? I’ve bought every car I wanted, multiple times over."
He said that he would rather be called “very rich,” which, for him, means a level of wealth that surpasses anything monetary. He added that when he reaches the billionaire title, he would find innovative ways to "give back" instead of accumulating money.

"When people publicly say you’re a billionaire, they come for what you have," 50 also said during the chat. "The IRS might suddenly decide they want 58 percent of your money. The ambulance chasers, the attorneys — it’s an army of ’em after you. Then you’d have to protect yourself because you have deep pockets."
