Hip-hop artist, actor, producer, businessman, troublemaker. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is all those things, proudly so.
Jackson, or Fifty as he’s happy to be called, stopped by ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live for a chat about life, new ventures and victories.
Conversation moved swiftly along to his Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, for Netflix, which bagged three Emmy nominations and won in the category for outstanding picture editing for a nonfiction program. “I actually win Emmys when people bother me,” quipped 50 Cent, who executive-produced the four-part special.
The New York rap heavyweight also spoke of his good fortune on getting his hands on that award-winning, behind-the-scenes footage. “When you get a RICO charge, you forget to pay the guy who had the camera,” he said on the episode, which aired Tuesday night (Oct. 13). On seeing the rushes, “I was like, yo, this is going to be great. I’m going to blow the wheels off.”

Diddy, Fifty reckons, “he saw the whole thing” on an iPad while incarcerated. “I’m sure (he) thought it was the best documentary he ever saw in his life.”

In the 2000s, 50 Cent was in a club of his own with four No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, including a nine-week reign with 2003’s “In Da Club.” In the same year, he made an appearance on just the second episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Much has happened since. Speaking with Kimmel all those years later, Fifty confirmed he’s making a documentary series about himself; he remembered the late DMX; discussed his new movie, Paramount Pictures’ Street Fighter; and admitted he was a “little bit” intimidated by Robert De Niro. Adapted from Capcom‘s iconic video game, Street Fighter hits theaters Oct. 16.
