50 Cent Explains Why He Never Used Drugs & Doesn’t Drink

    50 Cent has previously spoken on the fact that he’s never used drugs, but now, he’s explaining why he abstained from illegal substances. During an interview on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Fif opens up about his background, noting that while he sold drugs, he never used them.

    “I got a chance to watch a lot of my mother’s sisters and brothers at different periods experiment with the use of drugs or alcohol and I see them respond so differently that I stay away,” he explained.

    He also reflected on a bad experience he had with alcohol and why it’s driven him away from drinking. “I’ve had an experience that made me paranoid because of it and I stayed away from it following that,” he said.

    50 Cent’s full interview airs tonight on CNN at 9 p.m. EST.

      1. If taking drugs makes you hard then can you explain the irony in the fact that KILL and END lives? Cuz ain’t nothing hard about being dead unless you died famously. C’mon son, dont be a dumbass.

      1. NEVER GET HIGH OFF YOUR OWN SUPPLY. $ELL IT. DONT USE IT. DUMBFUCK RULE NUMBER ONE ON THE 10 CRACK COMMANDMENTS

      2. yea, what ^he said. it’s really dumb for drug dealers to use drugs because they need those drugs to be sold and make money off of them. hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars will go down the drain if you sniff on some of your own cocaine

      3. the real #1 rule from scarface,,,is never under estimate the other mans greed #2 never get high on your own supply,,,,

      1. Haha, was thinking the same thing. Then again, these millionaires boast about spraying bullets too and I don’t see them doing none of that, it’s just entertainment, and nothing wrong with that at the end of the day.

        Bottom line is, 50’s doing some good moves for the mankind (like the billion meals stuff), he got bigger things on his mind than dope these days, so can’t really blame him too much.

    1. i like 50 but see how fake all these rappers are , they make records talking about getting drunk n shit and they never do that in reality , fuck this shit

      1. What you idiots need to understand about hip-hop is that is it an art form like any other artform… that’s why thery are called ARTISTS. When Jimi Hendrix made “Hey Joe” I seriously doubt he condoned really shooting your woman cuz you think she’s cheating. Artists write music for their fan base, and in 50’s case, his fan base obviously smokes weed and gets drunk.

        (Why do I ALWAYS have to be the fucking voice of reason!!??) Lol… retards

      2. to this “Mu” character…
        in an earlier post you made a “Mos Def” reference, which was a waste of everyone’s time because the guy said “50 mos def smoked weed” which translates to he most definitely smoked weed. Now you’re saying you’re the voice of reason because you made a Jimi Hendrix reference. You’re trying to say it’s okay for 50 Cent to rap about getting “High all the Time” when he says he doesn’t actually. Let’s look at 50 Cent for a second. Anytime he’s attacked another rapper’s career, it’s been an attack on their credibility or “realness”. Rick Ross, Game, Ja Rule, Lil’ Wayne, anytime he’s dissed any of them it’s usually been a jab at their credibility. Seems like 50 is a little insecure, and that’s probably why him and Game make great music. All I’m saying is he’s saying he doesn’t drink or do drugs but that’s all he raps about, that and being a gangster etc. So if 50 Cent is a HIP-HOP ARTIST, as you seem to think he is, then what is he doing to earn that title? What does a hip-hop artist do?

      1. What does Mos Def smoking weed have to do with anything? LMAO. Most of the rap niggas who are so-called “conscious” smoke heavy trees. 50 wasn’t saying it’s immoral to smoke weed… he’s just saying it ain’t for him

    2. NEVER GET HIGH OFF YOUR OWN SUPPLY. $ELL IT. DONT USE IT.

      officer ricky talks about being the biggest coke dealer in miami and says he a gangsta HA HA lil wayne says his a blood HA HA

      1. Because he knows that about 90% of people who listen to hip-hop on a regular basis(including myself) smoke weed. (That 90% number is unofficial by the way, lol)

    3. do not talk crap,maybe he was high from life because i hacve been,so get lost on that one.
      why don’t you see things for what they are and who people really are.

    4. You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub…blegum flavoured soda
      Look mami I got the X but I ain’t into takin drugs, I hate the smell of bud
      I’m into havin sex, I ain’t into doin drugs
      So come gimme a hug, if you’re into gettin rubbed…and I ain’t into doing drugs.

    5. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
      I swear i saw a youtube film where u can see 50 was snoring coke and he was high as fuck during the interview

      1. LOL, cosign, maybeif 0 did some drugs he’d find more shit to rap about then the Club and the hood, ol boring simple simon ass nigga, smoke a blunt and think of something original

    6. Thanks for this piece of information dx, I was sitting at home wondering if “fif” did drugs or alcohol. Now I know. You guys always have relevant topics and stories.

    7. Broke ,jealous people who dont have anything better to do always try to dis 50 ,but they wont ever have what he has or reach the level of success that he has,thats why they are sitting on ther mommas couch broke and mad so dream on you hating ass internet gangsters lol!

    8. Welcome to realization on how fake rap songs are if you guys act all surprised.

      Everyone automatically thinks its a image of the person rapping or singing it.

      It’s entertainment, think of it as a gangster movie. Does the actor really kill people in person?

      This is like the bawse sayin he never met anyone in the mafia or flipped a bird. That one is more obvious thou.

      At least he is legit. Been in the game, been in the streets. That’s more than most people in the rap game now.

      1. The flaw in your stance is that you’re labeling songs like “Fight The Power”, “Dear Mama”, “The Message”, and “I Am” as being fake rap songs. Be clear. This rap thing went from “keep it real” to “it’s all entertainment”. Ask yourselves why.

    9. an you people still think he is not as guilty as those businessmen & politicians he speaking on ,, told ya he added to the violence & drug use of our culture by tellin those who listen to his music how he get high an drink ,,those people thought it was cool cause he was saying it ,, see im from a era were all these rap niggaz was saying in there music ,, basicly if you aint selling drugs usein drugs , going 2 jail , fuckin niggaz up , you aint real ,, an they push that issue hard ,, look at jeezy still,, then once these niggaz get rich off these poor people who helped them get rich , they wanna distance themselfs from them ,,its over , its truly over

    10. Figures, people who do drugs are usually more reative then this lame ass “Sing the same song over and over again” ass dude

      If he ever got high he’d of had better ideas

    11. Im not promoting drug use. I do find it funny that 50 cent always wants to talk about other rapers lying in thier raps when clearly he is the one thats been doing it all this time. ( He says Wayne lies in his raps ) We all know that rappers lie in thier raps. Thats not what im arguing. He just shouldnt call out other rappers for doing it when he does it.Of course even though he says he doesnt do drugs he might be talking about coke and crack not weed. I know he supposedly has an album coming out in Dec but it will delayed. Interscope will not put out an album without a hit single. Even if he did drop a monster single i doubt his album would be released in Dec. But i think thats how rappers should do it instead of releasing like 4 singles before the album comes out. Eminem released one single then the album. Look at his success. I do realize that with new artists you have to create a buzz. I understand that for rookies and somewhat new artists you have to drop numerous singles but not veterans. All this shit is is promotion for an album that probably wont come out till March

    12. maybe he should consider it to help enhance his creative process bc the n1gga’s music is BORING.. BUT it may inhibit his business sense so maybe not since thats all he really has going for him. well he does have a few lil wayne/jayz type stans. this site proves that so i guess he’ll always move a decent amount of units..

    13. Notice that 50 has had zero run-ins with the law since he got famous. Jay-Z is another one who has kept his hands clean for years. Hate ’em or love ’em, drug-free keeps your head clear.

      1. Really? Jay stabbed Un Rivera and had 3 years probation, drinks champagne like a fish and smokes weed occasionally. Jay is an on and off again smoker though.

      2. i agree… hate him or love him, 50 has a good head on his shoulders. he’s always been great with business and keeps the poison out so that it doesn’t cloud his mind. i’m sure it doesn’t hurt his body-image either. he’s always been really fit.
        if i had a mother like his and saw family and friends go crazy with drugs, i’d stay away too…

      3. listen daniel, im gonna have to disagree with you. i think you are clearly wrong. you bring some good points to the table, but you cleary dont know shit about hiphop or rap as us oldskool heads call it. fuck you fuck faggot

      4. Tommy, you’se a bitch. If you think that rap is about exploiting drugs, then you’re a fucking retard and you should kill yourself. You’re no better than the faggot-ass hipsters that run the radio.

      5. Jay-Z did not stab un nas was not lying when he said that his man did it and he took the blame he stopped dealing homie soon after that real conversation

      6. for real kiddies!

        J quit weed when he was in his 20’s. And didn’t stab no one. He tried to stab Un and caused no injury – bragged that he did it on Hot 97…

        So Un got smart and pressed charges – So Jay tried to make his boy TY TY take the blame – when that didn’t work – plea bargined.

        History – I’m here for you lot anytime.

    14. 50 drinks like a fish. he scared to smoke doe. boi scared of smoke even calld da pojangles men on Yayo. da mein reason fify wanna promote safe style is for market dollar. he sniff coke off titty behine the seens!

      1. i Just realised how many children there are on here. 50 CENT you are fake!
        “I see exhibit in the cut so roll them trees up” My eyes stay low cause I twist the drough U want to live a clean and healthy life good for you, But DONT get rich off pretenting to be High all the time It makes me question everything about this guy. He probably never even got shot. He just said it cause it sounded cool like smoking and drinking..
        PS smoking and drinking is super fun 50 maybe you should try it and get the creative juices flowing.. Wu-Tang,The beatles,Jimmi hendrix u think these guys made these albumbs straight.

    15. Fiddy cent or faggot rent boy as i call him is a faggot sell out and while he doesnt smoke druges he does smoke the fucking cock what a rentboy

    16. people are really hating on this? a clean lifestyle is the best lifestyle. to many people taking their health for granted nowadays.

    17. its cool the guy never indulged but when you have lyrics like G unit hoodie wreak of marijuana cocaine comin out my poors in the sauna then you might not wanna tell the world this…but im pretty sure he still is just talking about coke and hard drugs like alcohol, etc. to think he doesn’t smoke weed is a joke..i guarantee that through everything even eminem smokes weed. weed might be a drug in the sense people use it to get “high” but drugs kill people. weed doesn’t. theres not a single bit of proof that suggests weed is harmful or addictive in anyway and actually a lot of people use it to get off hard drugs if you do research….anyone who thinks dude doesn’t smoke weed is just being ignorant and most likely has no understanding of cannabis in general. weed ain’t no thing….

      1. You think there’s no proof because you haven’t bothered to research it. Honestly, who researches if something they enjoy doing is harmful?

      2. I heard 50 does’nt smoke weed a long time a go. It was nas brother jungle who mentioned this. Weed is a drug and so is alcohol, just a different class to hard drugs but i think alcohol can be lethal to some individuals

      3. Seriously. He does not smoke at all.

        Never has. He’s always maintained that.

        There is no footage anywhere ever of 50 smoking or anybody who has seen dude drink or smoke.

        People still find time in there day to hate.

        Since I’m here….. Fuck 50!

    18. LISTEN YOU FAGGOTS! FAGGOTS! ON THE REAL FIFTY NEVER SMOKED WEED EITHER! YES HE MADEA SONG CALLED HIGH ALL THE TIME – I HAVE THE BLENDER MAGAZINE WHERE HE SAID HE MADE THAT JUST CAUSE HE KNOWS ALOT OF MOTHERFUKERS GET HIGH ALL THE TIME! THE MUSIC BIZ IS TOUGH MOTHER FUCKERS! YOU NEED ALL YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU! FIFTY STAYS HEALTHY LITTLE BITCHES!

    19. I have no respect for a man that will promote drug and alcohol abuse to kids and not partake in such actiity himself. Nothing but a coon.

      1. You really think Wendy Thomas actually eats every single burger or sandwich from Wendy’s? You kids have a lot to learn.

      1. I listened to your track. The music would sound better if you didn’t sound like you were eating penises while you were rapping.

    20. What are we arguing about? The man doesn’t do drugs!!! That’s a GOOD thing!!! Any dumbass who believes and does what rappers write are idiots! Its just music!!! Learn to Enjoy It!!!

    21. why do they ever tell the kids they are lying in the begining before they get rich ,,none of them fess up that they are phony until there rich an time to distant themselves ,,,,why do you think some many niggaz in jail ,,that 92 93 94 drive by shootin era was so sad ,, niggaz in jail 2 this day off that shit that was widly promoted in rap music an urban movies ,,you see the nba an nfl aint gonna let these niggaz lie to they kids

      1. Yeah for fam.

        50 has never did or has done drugs. yes kids weed is a drug. Just is alcohol.

        Yes he had tried both from time to time but doesn’t do them…

        You feel me>???? Follow the mans example.

        Get cornrolls

    22. Go watch the movie “Get Rich or Die Tryin” which is based on his life. Alot of the shit in the movie was true. He did sell alot of drugs, he did have alot of nice cars and bikes,jewelery and he also had alot of money. All from selling drugs, and he never denied that.

    23. he gets high all the time he smokes the good shit,,hahaha,,,,,i can understand the paranoia part,,,,,,cause when you speak a lot of shit you cant enjoy your buzz,,,cause nigga stay wanting to try you,,,,gotta stay on point,,,,,,,no need to get high now,,,the money and the power are enough drugs ,,,,wooorrd!!!

    24. so in game’s track off documentary when he says the hook “that california chronic got me so high, game tell em where you from….” or in candy shop when he’s like “sippin botlle after bottle till its gone” whats he talkin bout?

      1. In 1995 Dr. Dre said this from “The Show” soundtrack, “It’s Entertainment, this is like our fucking job.” With that being said dont believe half the shit they say on records, take it for what it is “Entertainment”…..

    25. i always thought and was taught that your word is your bond and or your word is born bringing light to a weak situation,,,hiphop is supposed to speak the truth,,to the young black youth,,,that fronting like you doing shit is for the movies,,so if he never got high but he spits it in his bars,,,,then he’s fronting point blank,,,,,,NIGGA YOU AINT GOTTA LIE TO KICK IT,,,movies is the best thing for this dude,,,now he can front and act all day and get paid for it,,,,REAL NIGGAS DONT WANT TO HEAR FAKE SHIT,PERIOD!!!!!!!1

    26. i think evry1 can agree that weed doesnt count. only reasons its illegal is cause the gov’t couldnt tax it being sold.

      1. My thoughts exactly! The gov’t is so stupid.. They could make BANK from weed sells.. But instead, they want to SPEND MORE MONEY trying to keep it off the streets rather then profiting from it.. Fuck weed, go after the harder drugs that can kill you/make you sell your soul.. But anyways, He’s gotta be talking about the harder drugs(crack, coke, heroine, etc..) I’ve been smoking weed for years, but aren’t addicted to it like I need it every day. And I certainly wouldn’t sell everything I own for some weed. lmao

    27. FUCK THAT FAKE ASS, BITCH, HOW U GONAN NOT PRACTICE WAHT U PREACH. THIS NIGGAH IS BEYONF FAKE, HE GOT SIGNED CAUSE HE SPIT AND LIVD A “GANGSTA” LIFE AND GOT SIGNED AND BENT OVER QUICK AND SOLD OUT QUICKER THEN UNCLE RUKUS

    28. its funny how people say 50 is fake because he doesnt drink but they listen to ross or wayne…..lol….if 50 was acting like he was drunk all the time then ok but he just mentions it in his music….he doesnt base his carrer of of it…..lol

    29. He isn’t fake for talking about it in songs. He sold drugs for most of his life before he got into rap. He has arrest records from it and it was well documented. so when he says his “hoodie smelled like marijuana” and whatever else, he was around drugs and saw what the did to people. That’s why he didn’t take them, but he used them to make money off of other people.

    30. Why would he make a song saying he’s high all the time unless he doesn’t consider marajuana an illegal drug (federally)

      1. 50 Cent is a businessman. A song about weed generates money because he knows it will get popular. 50 Cent does more stuff like this. He is sponsored bij Effen Vodka and brands this quite a lot on his instagram account. The funny thing is that 50 Cent doesn’t drink or use drugs. But somehow he manages to keep that on the down low so he can brand those things and make money.
