The AI cover of 50 Cent's 21 Questions comes weeks after the rapper-actor shared the grimmer details of his life as a rapper. Last Tuesday (September 30), Fif - born Curtis James Jackson III - appeared on Fox & Friends, where he spoke about his track, Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
In Cent's own words, the song - which released back in 2003 - was drawn from a real-life incident that took place three years ago and nearly cost him his life. Jackson said:
"It shifted my concept. My first album concept was 'Power of a Dollar,' and then I went to 'Get Rich or Die Tryin',' the stakes just got higher."
As Fif recovered from the near-death experience, he started to form his upcoming album in his head. Recalling the process, Cent added:
"You look, and you go, well, what am I going to do?. The record company's not answering the phone anymore. Everything's changing. And then it's like, you got to figure out how to do it on your own."
The album 50 Cent was referring to was The Massacre - which was recorded in 2004 and released a year later, by Eminem's Shady Records.
