50 Quits Breast Feeding G-Unit Members

 

In the newest issue of XXL Magazine, 50 Cent was interviewed and has said that he has cut off financial support to his roster of G-Unit artists.

“I told them I wouldn’t be assisting them financially anymore,” the rapper is quoted as saying in a recent interview with XXL.

50 Cent recently held a meeting to bring his crew up to speed. Those in the meeting included Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Sha Money XL, Laze and Spider Loc.

“I broke it down,” he recalls. “I told them I wouldn’t be assisting them financially anymore. Pretty much I was telling them I wouldn’t be there. [In the past] they’d make a lot of money and spend a lot of money and have me there to fix it.

The magazine reports that 50 spent $8.5 million of his own money to take a lot of the rappers on his most recent tour, so that they could bring their entourages — and so that everyone could travel, as he says, “comfortably.”

50 also talked about his crew not living up their roles as representatives of the G-Unit Clothing Company. “I looked around the room, and I was the only person with G-Unit sneakers on. But they were being paid,” he added. “It had become the norm for the check to come, but they were no longer wearing the clothes.”
