50 Cent Reveals Origin Of His "Get The Strap" Catchphrase

50 Cent has been rattling a few people with his most recent catchphrase, “Get the strap.”

After taking a small break from Instagram, the Power executive returned about a week later, regularly captioning his posts with the phrase “Get the strap.” 50 even uploaded a photo of NYPD Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez with the catchphrase written in the caption, leading to an investigation that could lead to misdemeanor aggravated harassment charges for the now-deleted post.

After all that (as well as filing a trademark for the saying), 50 has continued to use the catchphrase and now he has given some insight on where it comes from.

“Get the strap” is actually a phrase said by 50’s character, Kanan Starks, in the Starz show Power. During a recent interview to promote Season 5, 50 explained the line was written by the show’s creator, Courtney Kemp.
