These days, one could say things have been going pretty well for Curtis Jackson, otherwise known as 50 Cent. For one, his show “Power” couldn’t be hotter and its sixth season any more anticipated at the moment.

Plus, he’s landed a $150 million deal with the Starz network to develop more programming, including the upcoming crime series “BMF,” about the former drug organization The Black Mafia Family.

50 Cent brought himself a Rolls Royce and Lamborghini for he holidays.

So to possibly celebrate all of that or maybe just to treat himself for the holiday season, 50 purchased two pricey vehicles for himself, a yellow Lamborghini Aventador and a white Rolls Royce.

The rapper also posted photos of himself sitting on both cars to prove ownership and to show that he’s not just posing with the vehicles for show.

“They don’t let you do this in the dealership until you pay for them,” wrote 50 under the photo of himself with the Lamborghini.

And under the picture of himself with Rolls Royce, Fif said he has no problem with impulse spending, and he won’t hesitate to drop hundreds of thousands if something catches his eye. He also told those who may think he’s showing off to get off his page if they’re bothered.

“If I like it I’m getting it,” wrote the G-Unit founder. “If you don’t like it don’t watch.”

But most seemed to be excited for 50 instead of annoyed, and there were a lot of folks who really liked the vehicles.

“Time to work, time to flex. Keep flexing, big boss,” someone wrote.

“@50Cent true inspiration to the hood dude,” wrote another.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
