Last month, 50 Cent announced his initiative to feed one billion kids, partnering with Pure Growth Partners to launch Street King, an energy shot that will supply a child in need with a meal for every shot purchased. Checking in from Australia, Fif explained what inspired him to launch his “Street King” mission and how more fortunate people can help out those in need.
“I grew up without money, but I didn’t grow up hungry. A lot of people out there actually hungry right now know, actually dying of hunger. I felt like it’s our responsibility to come together and do things to create a solution for this actual problem,” he said. “What I seen on this run out in Africa was unbelievable. The devastation and desperation of people who don’t know when they’re going to receive their next meal – or if they’re going to receive their next meal. I want to feed a billioin kids, and I need your help to do it. I need you to utilize your energy, your voice, to provide additional motivation for me at times. My new project is called SK, Street Kings, and y’all know the plan. I just told you the plan. I want to feed a billion kids.”
Watch him explain his intentions below, and head over to StreetKing.com for more information.

I respect this man’s hustle second to Jay-Z, even more if he actually succeeds!
I am not a G unit fan or a 50 cents fan but this is a noble thing to do.
But how are you going to control the money getting where its needed. Before it gets to the needy the money goes through greedy wealthy hands who want profit.
This in a time when everybody is on his Big Sean and not on his Dead Prez
Noble effort? Yes….Publicity Stunt Yes.
Publicity stunt ? Offcourse we are still talkin about 50″DIVA”Cent. Thats how he got big, publicity stuntin. Aint nobody tellin me that the cat could actually be a MC and sold his records cuase he spits fire lol
If it is a publicity stunt, what’s the problem? If it still helps, it’s all good. You can’t hate on this, many more rich rappers should join him. 50 isn’t the best rapper, but his business skills are undeniable, I can’t hate this man who grew up without nothing and became a worldwide star with hundreds of millions.
what publicity stunt help him get on? you didnt know 50 before em and the ja rule REAL STREET BEEF did you i doubt it you need to go check them mixtapes that would tell you why em got him on shady 50 was co-sighned by the late and great jam master j know your history before you speak
So he’s gonna poison millions with the “energy” drinks and use this feeding mission to fatten his pockets basically. 50 has never been a good or noble man.
Thanks God for the judgement.
Out of interest, is right to not wash your hands if you don’t actually touch your dick after a piss??
Rightoues or Evil??
Cheers.

Everyone who donated money or something to a cause always gets something back, there aint nothing free in this world, weather a tax-write off or funds are in order someones making money.
Leo- you must’ve never heard of non profit organizations.
poisin you try eating mud pies and cow dunk then see if you ratrher have that drink stfu
Here’s a little story about judging others.
“This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Those of you that are so quick to condemn 50 Cents what are you doing to help others.
You don’t know the man’s motives so let him do him.
big up 50
this is what its all about
Jump on board and support this shit, you never hear about Jay z doing this type of work..What’s the point of having billions and, whole African countries are starving, yet we drop bombs on the continent, assassinate good leaders and steal their natural resourses
Sigh….
Google Jigga – water for Africa.
Then after some careful consideration. Kill yourself you two bit excuse for a human!
RESPECT TO 50 HE ALWAYS GIVE BACK WHEN HE CAN.
Look at 50 trying to copy what immortal technique has been doing for years.
Whats wrong with that? Immortal technique is the only one allowed to do something good?
Its 50 Cent though…The man has spent his entire career tearing people down and trying to destroy as many lives as possible. Plus Immortal Technique has done his good work without selling a bullshit energy drink. He put the profits from his albums towards helping people….Lemme know when 50 Cent goes into his own pockets to help feed a billion kids.
So? I bet immortal technique loves that he’s doing this. The point is to spread the movement not keep it to himself. SMH
SMH, people will ALWAYS find ways to hate on 50. How can you compare what he did to other rapper’s careers to this? Would you act otherwise if you went through all he’s been through in this competitive business? I’m sure you know that he always gives back to his hood on Thanksgiving. His life is what movies are made of. Rags to riches. Everyone knows 50 ain’t the most talented lyricist, but Hip Hop would be much worse without him. He made countless hits, changed the landscape forever and his old mixtapes are classics, deny it all you want.
Fif receives nothing (or a tiny tiny bit) of the profit. He’s doing this as a charity, not as another way to make money.
He never wanted to destroy peoples lives, only if they did him wrong!
Stop hating on the man and applaud him for doing something beautiful…
what life did he destroy? you act like he dropped a nuke fuckin haters
Respect to 50 for this. Jigga, him and Lupe should all get props for doing projects like these.
I mean really – the people make these guys superstars – it’s only correct that they give back. How many cars and houses do you really need?
I’m gonna be honest and say I don’t respect 50 as an artist anymore, he lost something he once had. But mad props to him for this, wish him a world of success
do you know him?
Suspect to me. Seems like he’s trying to capitalize off of sympathy which ain’t cool at all. Step yo album sales up by making top notch music 50!!!
hes got hundreds of millions of dollar, what the fuck does he care about getting his album sales up for? he makes music for fun
Respect to 50 for looking and promoting in the right direction, now every artist in industry, especially those of African descent can follow his lead. Nobody in the industry gives back with the effort 50 puts in
We’ll I’ll give more props to Immortal Technique for what he’s doing, and he’s not even a mainstream artist, just a real human being who is’nt control by money. So if you ask me this is a True leader in the hip hop community!
what does mainstream have to do with anything there you go with that internet ceo talk
Its amazing how people are getting upset for a man… ANY MAN… trying to do the right thing. Curtis is trying to feed people in Africa, Ross is opening Wing Stops.
Sometimes people’s priorities are so fucked up.

Sorry but this is just a marketing ploy to sell energy drinks simple and plai..if he wanted to do somthig about this why didn’t he do it sooner ..sorry call me a cynic but come on ….
nah you just hate him but its ok
xactly, better yet why didn’t he make that a cause for him as soon as he started gettin money. He coulda even given back to the hood, didn’t have to be this. If he did that not many ppl would know or rather it won’t be much publicized but he needed this publicity. Now if it were Ludacris doin this then it won’t be no suprise but fifty nah somethin’s up
50 been giving back to the hood since day 1
You people really know nothing, 50 always gave back to the hood, you dumb fucks.
like people dont know who he is this aint no stunt yall just haters. thanks fif for the park you donated and thanks for the free concert and taking the entire projects to great adventures keep up the good work.he also performed a private concert for the terrorist victims.
when was the last time any of you donated anything? so shut the fuck up go listen to your fav rapper who wants to ship in keys of coke haha yeah ok or still claims a gang that was created to fit a image
yea right y’all must be idiots if you believe this came from the goodness in 50. I swear all this hip hop arists today only know bout gettin into that Forbes list. Lol don’t you know the more people hear about 50cent doin charity work, the more album or songs he gonna sell. This just another staretgy in the game
stfu you hater
bad music is bad music i dont care how good he does if the music sucks it sucks this has nothing to do with music you a pure asshole
umm are you god, no then don’t judge
smh, y do people try to find a negative motive in everything
STFU. He always sold based on his gangsta image, so your point is complete shit besides your fucked up attitude. This is a noble move, there’s nothing bad in there.
some of you need to check your own morals get of your fat ass and do something you act like he said by my album and ill donate some money to feed kids. do your thing 50 and i love the outlaw track
bottom line none of you know fif so stop with your emotions it looks foolish
bill gates can do this with a swipe of his debit card fuck the haters do you fif WE know about life in the five boroughs shit aint sweet
bill gates probably the biggest philanthropist of our generation…dick… FUCK you, u the hater
Looks like he’s doing some good ish instead of just running his mouth…lol.. It’s a good look…
And anyone who calls out Bill Gates should know he has already donated billions of dollars to charities and has a campaign going on with Warren Buffet to get other billionaires to pledge to donate half or most of their wealth during their lifetime or after their deaths….
I actually have respect for fif now, trying to help change the world. Respect
Co-Sign! 50 a legend.
Its amazing all these bitch ass people on this site. Do you people think your important because your hating and puttin fif on blast. He’s doin good things and trying to do the world a little bit of good right now and you talk shit. Ya’ll are the same people who thought Rick Ross’s million dollar strip club experience was noble. Real people dont give a fuck about anything you write and the only reason people give you the time of day reading your comments is because its amazing how retarded and ignorant you fucks are. Dont be mad cause he doesnt take your advice on making music.
Man You are right!!!they all fake ass men..Keep it to what you gotta do..The lord is by your side cos you are doing what is right …..Moore blessing to you Curtis Jackson
