During an interview with Los Angeles-based radio station Real 92.3, 50 Cent was asked why he wasn’t one of the artists involved in the TIDAL launch months ago.
The Queens, New York rapper didn’t reveal why he wasn’t present, but did state that the launch could have been “more exciting” had those at TIDAL reached out. He also added that since he’s now an independent artist, the possibility of having worked with TIDAL on something for their launch, was very much an option.
“Probably we could’ve did something more exciting if they reached out,” 50 Cent said. “Because the people that you saw there don’t even own the rights to their music. So, they can’t say ‘It’s just gonna come out on TIDAL.’ It has to go everywhere. So, why would you actually buy TIDAL to get something that would be everywhere else…I’m a free agent. I could have did something—made something special [for] TIDAL.”
Prior to speaking on TIDAL, 50 Cent cleared up misconceptions that he’s not a fan of the “Empire” cast. He went on to explain that despite the fact that “they did steal the idea” from “Power,” he likes the cast of the Fox television series.
“I don’t think people know that I actually like the cast of ‘Empire.’ They did steal the idea,” he said. “The talent that’s on there, I wanna see them be successful. My first film, I worked with Terrence Howard. He’s the lead of the show. I wanna see him have success. And then Taraji, she’s cool.”

Doesn’t matter, like fif said, why pay for content that will be distributed on all mediums anyways? Even so called “exclusive” stuff makes it way to the information superhighway. When has anyone heard of a hit record that wasn’t played on all platforms? Knock it off with the premium streaming stuff.
They always ask 50 about everybody else’s business, but not his own, like SMS Promotions going bankrupt and all the law suits he keeps losing.
Get a load of this g
What up with the release dates page bruh?
Now we need Jay Z to comment on 50’s SMS Promotions going bankrupt and those 16 million dollar lawsuits he lost on his big bulky SMS headphones
jay lost more than that on his failed hotel and all the 40/40 clubs he had to shut down
You just loose change nigga
50 washed up. Snoop more relevant than him. 50 fans are also Beyonce fans.
no one listens to snoop in 2015 except for doggystyle and those old pharrell joints
No one listens to snoop anymore…
THE GODFATHER IS ALWAYS RIGHT
Niggas dont know the difference between going bankrupt and losing a court case lol
to be fair 50 and sms headphones lost a lawsuit and sms promotions filed for bankruptcy but sms headphones still have deals with disney, marvel, star wars and intel
what’s up with the hate?
what he said was true…regarding y would u pay for it??
them artists don’t own the rights to any of their music…
at what point do you start telling interviews im dont putting other ppls dicks in my mouth all day and talking about other ppl..
when are we gonna hear about sleek winning all these millions from u in a lawsuit and others you fucked up on.. worry about yourself
Makes sense to me
Who gives an s h i t what 50 Cent thinks anymore?
People just hate 50 to be hating. No matter how much you hate him. He is still rich. He is still successful. I see a idiot mention that SMS promotions went bankrupt . So what? He has Much more success than failure. The main people that hates him is black people. Jealous black people. Sometime black people are worse than the KKK.
Shut the fuck up dweeb how the fuck do you know what color any of the commentators are …
sms promotions lost 1 million. hes worth about 250-300 million. the lawsuit with sms was 16 million but he has a contract with disney and he has a deal with star wars one of the biggest movie franchises ever. being that disney owns marvel dont be surprised he does something with marvel soon. when you own businesses you take losses. jay-z open and closed that 4040 in vegas super fast. it happens.
