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.”

50 Cent Refuses To Let Ja Rule Off The Hook: ''Don't Nobody Want to See That Sh*t"
After nearly 20 years of beef, 50 Cent still takes every opportunity to take shots at Ja Rule with no signs of slowing up!
“Only 10 tickets sold don’t nobody want to see that shit”

Rap beefs are inevitable in hip hop and have been going on since hip hop first started, but there are few that just keep going for years and years. 50 Cent and Ja Rule have been beefing for almost 20 years. 20 whole years. Some of ya'll were babies when 50 cent first released "Life's on the Line," from his debut studio album Power of the Dollar which was an outright diss to Ja Rule and the Murder Inc label. It’s 2018 and 50 Cent still refuses to stall Ja Rule out.
Ja Rule tweeted Friday that he had to cancel his show in Syracuse due to a delayed flight and 50 Cent took this as an opportunity to exhibit his professional pettiness. 50 Cent has never been hesitant to talk reckless via social media, and he certainly takes no precautions when it comes to his New York rival Ja Rule.

Ja Rule posted a sincere apology to his fans but anytime something happens with Ja Rule, 50 takes it as his time to shine. 20 years of beefing from 2 of New York’s most famous rappers and it doesn’t to be cooling down anytime soon. Ja Rule responded to 50 via instagram comment.

Things also get chippy earlier this year after 50 Cent took a few shots at Ja Rule during an interview in January and Ja Rule took to twitter to air out his issue with 50 continuing to talk bad about him.
As entertaining as it is to see how these dudes respond to each other, after nearly 2 decades, it might just be time to come to some kind of truce. Both of these artists have been on the opposite sides of success in recent years, but two successful black men nonetheless. No one’s benefiting from this beef at this point.
