This weekend, 50 Cent released a statement discussing poverty, corruption and more, explaining that he plans to make a difference. “People don’t seem to care anymore,” he shares in the statement. “People seem to have distanced themselves from other peoples’ problems. They have been programmed not to care.” 50 then explains why he feels this way and pledges to make a difference.

In the statement, 50 Cent turns to politicians and explains the needs that are not being met. “Politicians are corrupt,” he adds. “So many companies are corrupt and taking excessive profits in certain sectors.” He follows this up by saying people allow this to continue, despite the statistics he shares. “There are 1 billion plus people living in extreme poverty,” he notes. “You have no chance of hustling your way out of it.” 

Knowing his own history, he admits that he has also not been as proactive in the past. “I have woken up,” he acknowledges. “I’m not turning a blind eye anymore! I’m not playing the game anymore.”

There are 1 billion plus people living in extreme poverty. You know what that is? You don’t know if your getting your next meal, no shelter, no medical. You have no chance of hustling your way out of it!
We have been programmed to not give a s*** about these people!

UPDATE: 50 Cent has taken to his Facebook page to pen another fiery statement. While the first tried to encourage fans to “Like” his Street King page, this one puts Wall Street personnel in the crosshairs. Read the full message below.

How fucked up that we have evidence that the big Banks have been corrupt, yet our governments aren’t punishing those that have stolen from the pension funds.

Our Politicians are puppets for whoever pays them into office. That’s how fucked our system is. Their broken promises for change cant happen especially when the system is corrupt

And children who need a meal go without because our politicians won’t stop thinking of themselves long enough or how to win the next election, too look around them and see how bad it is.

You aren’t helping Mr politician, things are getting worse here in the US, in Europe, Africa everywhere!

Im fuckn angry that Children are dying everyday.

There’s hard working people out there who do give a shit.

Problem is those with the power – government and big business, want this system to keep going. Its suits them

I don’t want to do business with these fuckers anymore. Do you?

if a company isn’t giving back, stop buying from them. Buy a pair of shoes from TOMS (who give another pair to someone in need), look for companies that aren’t paying lip service to community / charity

we are more powerful than the big business and politicians realize……we have the power to stop buying their products, banking with them.

your dollar, that you worked hard for, does have power.

together we can say – WAKE UP A-HOLES! The game is over.

50 cent

– want to shout out to Occupy Wall Street groups around the world. You are waking up the world, including me. Please keep up the peaceful protest, you are making a difference
