Love him or hate him, 50 Cent has proven over the years that he's one hell of a businessman, and now he's going to share some of his knowledge with the good people of Atlanta this coming August.
According TMZ, the multi-platinum rapper-turned-entrepreneur will headline Earn Your Leisure's Invest Fest in A where he will give attendees some insight and information that he believes can help them on their way to their first million. Of course, many won't have the platform that 50 had before entering the film and television industry, but it should still be the most insightful event.
Per TMZ:
The setting is right in the 50s… him and the lawyer Ben Crump recently went to Washington, in the name of black entrepreneurship, pushing for minority representation in the alcohol biz … and we're told he'll be speaking on this topic and more during the annual event.
Even more fitting, 50 will succeed DidiWHERE hosted last year's Invest Fest, and we all know how “competitive” he has been with Puff for years, and especially lately … in the wake of the last one multitude of legal issues.
Earn Your Leisure co-founder Troy Millings tells us that 50 represents “the potent mix of culture and business,” — so hiring him for the coveted gig was an easy call.
Rashad Bilal believes 50 will leave attendees with invaluable lessons — “We believe [50’s] ideas and experiences will inspire and empower our audience to follow their own paths to financial freedom.”
Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if 50 accepted the invitation just to bash last year's host, Diddy. Hell, the man is so petty that he can throw a few jabs at the struggling music mogul while sharing his knowledge.
Invest Fest will run from August 23rd to August 25th and will feature TI, Stephen A. Smith, Monica and Pinky Cole, among others.
