In a recent interview with The Sacramento Bee, the New York Mogul 50 Cent announced a collaborative partnership between his G-Unity Foundation and the Sacramento Kings, resulting in the establishment of the Kings and Queens Rise Co-Ed Youth Sports and Mentoring League.
“The fastest way to achieve what you’d like to achieve is not necessarily the right way,” Jackson stated. “So a lot of the temptation is to go in the wrong direction to achieve what you want when you’re younger. This is why these programs are effective.”
On Monday, he took to Instagram to share the link to the article, with the caption. “It’s a great program King & Queens rise. I had fun hanging out with the kids, if we keep them active, they won’t go get in trouble.”
During the interview itself, 50 Cent commented, “I think idle time is the devil’s time. Especially in inner cities where you got so many different distractions, so many different influences, positive and negative.” He also added: “They get a chance to be part of that team effort. I think it teaches them lessons that are priceless in the early stages.”
This isn't the first collaboration between 50 Cent and the Kings' organization, as his beverage company, Sire Spirits, is already an official partner of the team. The interview coincides with 50 Cent's upcoming tour, which might potentially be his last.
During a recent Instagram post, 50 Cent revealed that his upcoming Final Lap Tour could potentially mark his final worldwide tour. “Because ticket sales are doing so well they’re adding new markets so the UK, North America, and possibly Australia will be in there. I gotta get to Africa, I got a lot of spots I gotta hit before I be done, because this is the Final Lap Tour. I won’t be running around like this no more,” he expressed. He also stated, “I gotta do my film and television stuff and got a lot of other things going on behind the scenes that I gotta work on. So I won’t be out touring as much as I’ve been touring… I’m having fun this time because it’s set up to enjoy myself, we not feeling pressure.”
