50 Cent is a force unlike any other in entertainment. Known for turning trolling into an art form, 50 made headlines with his 1999 hit “How to Rob” and cemented his legacy with “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” which featured diss tracks targeting Ja Rule and Murder Inc.

But his rise wasn’t without its challenges, like surviving a near-fatal shooting—getting shot nine times, to be exact, getting dropped from his record label, lawsuits, and more.

In today’s Trapital episode, I’m joined by Zack O’Malley Greenburg to discuss 50’s journey, from his early music successes to groundbreaking deals with Vitaminwater and Reebok.
