50 Cent has explained why he often gets “defensive” when women ask him to buy them expensive things.
The comments were made during 50’s appearance on Mary J. Blige’s BET show The Wine Down, and he said that when women ask him for cash, he automatically assumes the worst.

“I get defensive when a person is trying to… when a woman is asking me for things. Then I’m like, ‘Oh you think I’m a sucker?” 50 Cent said. “Because organically I wanna do those things. Then I’ll start to do those things and it’ll be cool because she’s never asked me for… nothing. But if she comes with those intentions or that idea then it feels like, ‘Wait.'”
Mary J. Blige, who burst out laughing after his response, said that Fif seems able to immediately tell when a woman’s desires are monetary.
“Right, cause she came with those intentions,” he concluded.
50 Cent didn’t always use to have these problems. In an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, the G-Unit mogul said he made his 2003 song “21 Questions” simply to help his struggling love life and that he hoped it would bring women into his orbit.
“[Dre] said, ‘I know what this is. It’s N.W.A with just one member and you really don’t need it,’” the Queens, New York legend recalled around the 11-minute mark. “He didn’t know why I wanted to put the record on.”

“Why did you?” Melber interjected.
“Because I wanted ladies to feel like maybe they could fix me, and I had done so many push-ups,” Fif replied with a smile. “So I felt like, ‘This is gonna be good for my love life!’ I’m dead serious.”
He added: “I thought that they would see some way that they could possibly fix me or understand me in a different way. And their favorite line on the song was, ‘I love you like a fat kid loves cake.’ When I wrote it, I was thinking, I love you, but too much of you is no good for me. Like a fat kid loves cake.”
50 Cent is currently dating Cuban Link and has been since 2019. The pair appear to still be going strong as the 27-year-old penned a sweet message to the Power mogul on his 47th birthday last June.

“My favorite person. The epitome of a Man,” she wrote on Instagram while sharing a slideshow of romantic photos of her and 50 on the beach surrounded by candles in the shape of a love heart.
“There’s so much to celebrate you for; your love, generosity, diligence, the list can go on! You are nothing short of a blessing to many! Thank You for being my person! My lover & best friend! May God continue to protect and bless you! Happy Birthday King. More Life ! More Blessings!”
