On the hook for “In Da Club,” 50 Cent proclaims, “I'm in sex, I ain't making love” — but that won't happen in 2024.
The rapper revealed that he is “practicing abstinence” this year in a new Instagram post promoting champagne and cognac brands Le Chemin Du Roi and Branson Cognac. “My new idea is so big, I have no time to distract myself, I abstain, meditate and focus on my goals,” he wrote. “I hope this new year helps you excel at the next level.”

In 2023, 50 celebrated the 20th anniversary of her magnum opus Get rich or Die Trying'. Speaking about the 2003 set, which won a Grammy for Best Rap album, the rapper reflected in an interview with The Rebecca Judd Show on Apple Music 1 about what he wanted two decades ago and his thoughts on one-hit wonders. “If you asked me to make a wish in 2003, I would just want my music to be a hit. I didn't see 20 years ahead of music like that,” he told Judd. “I'm just right now to make it work.”
“And then what's crazy is most artists, they think they're ready before they are,” he continued. “Most good artists, they thought they were ready before they got to do it, but they had that amount of time to work that allowed them to get really good enough. That's why we have unique wonders in hip-hop culture. Because when that happens, they have that first hit and then it takes them out of the studio to go play and go meet all the distractions that come with being a successful artist, and then they land in the studio without being trained to know how to create the next song. So they're stuck with that one hit.”
