Ever since the pics of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson being slimmed-down for his Movie "Things Fall Apart" got published earlier this week, media and the Internet went crazy over them. With 50 Cent losing 54 lbs to play a cancer patient, there was nearly no Website or TV Channel who didn't report about it.
When new pics of 50 Cent filming a documentary in South Carolina (this week) looking more healthy appeared, some people/media thought the skinny pics might be photoshopped/fake.
What people didn't take into account was the fact that 50 Cent finished filming the Movie about 2 weeks before starting the documentary. So he had some time to gain weight back already.
Rap-Up sat down with 50 Cent for an Interview and also asked him about the authenticity of the pictures with him looking dramatically different.
They quote 50 Cent on it being him in the pics: Yeah, they’re absolutely real. I shot the first half of the film for eight days and then I left for my international tour, and I spent that time training to lose weight. I had a week and a half after coming back to really intensely train to get down to 160 for the last half of the film project, Things Fall Apart.
50 Cent also brought up how serious cancer is: It’s a serious topic. One out of eight people in the world die of cancer. It tops HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria together. If you’re not actually gonna die of cancer, chances are someone you’re active with in your life is.
50 Cent told Rap-Up that his weight is at 198 lbs right now.That means he gained back around 38 lbs in about two weeks already. He also said he will start weight training again, once he hits 200 lbs.
Fans don't have to worry about not recognizing 50 Cent on stage during his Invitation Tour.
