bigted Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 What about grandma and grandpa, Curtis!? 50 Cent vs. 25 Cent: Round 1 Tuesday - January 3, 2006 Andres Tardio 50 Cent's one of the most powerful figures in hip hop today. His notoriety spans the globe and his associates are successful in their fields. So why is his cousin unknown? Two Five, who also goes by 25 Cent claims he is Curtis Jackson's legitimate cousin and he spoke to The Chicago Sun-Times about his life, his cousin and his own rap career. The 22-year-old 25 claims he and 50 grew up together in Jamaica, Queens under their grandmother's roof. He also claims the two were a tight-knit duo who were known around the neighborhood as brothers, rather than cousins. According to 25 Cent who claims he acquired his nickname when he was younger, 50 doesn't want to let the world know about him in order to protect him from his beefs. Regardless, 25 is prepping his career without his cousin. He's got a debut project which he plans to release independently and has completed a DVD as well. In the interview, 25 says he considers 50 a mentor, but that there is no relationship between them at this point. In his responses, 25 spoke about how 50 Cent has changed since he became a much-talked about celebrity. "I think when people get a little money they really don't show their true colors. But when you get big money and you're in a different tax bracket, you start to feel yourself more than you're supposed to, you get cocky," he says about his cousin's changes. 25 also spoke about his family's attitude towards 50. "I think he's lonely and bitter. I think he's that way because there is nobody around you to share your love with. You're making all that money just to have 15 security guards, two trucks and nobody around you that really cares for you. And when all your money is gone and there is nobody else there for you, you gotta come back to family and that's even if we'll accept you," he claims. He went on to further explain his cousin's lack of financial support for the family. "He don't give back to his family not one bit. He's supposed to take care of my grandmother and my grandfather because they took care of him. I don't think he wants to put that situation out there. His whole excuse for not bringing me on is, 'It's dangerous, people trying to hurt me, people trying to do that to me, and the closest thing to me is you.' And that's true, but my whole thing is why you are bringing the camera crews around the same house you know your family is still in. All that money you got you can't help your family get out of the 'hood. Maybe not even me, but you do have cousins who have children and aunts who got bills. But you buying your homeboy a $100,000 chain." 25 also believes 50 simply does not want him to shine. "I think it would be wise for him to try and prevent me from getting out because, lyrically, I am better than him. I think the best thing for him to do is to just not say anything about me, whether they acknowledge me or not, I see you at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I still see you when you come to the house, whether you want the world to know or not. My whole thing with 50 is he just does stuff that makes him look like a hypocrite. In one article you'll say, ''Yeah, that's my cousin. He's a fraud, he's this, he's that.'' Then in another article you'll say, ''I don't know him.'' Then you'll say, ''I don't break peace with nobody, it is what it is.'' But, yet you kissing Game on the cheek at a press conference. And you can't talk to your family?"

Jonny 5 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 that's just wrong... If I was in 25 Cent's position I would be out there and teach 50 a lesson. It's not like he wouldn't blow up if he started releasing stuff... surely a rival to Interscope should get him signed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think 25 Cent might sound a lil' bitter but a lot of what he said is true, 50 does go around acting like the world evolves around him, the fame has gotten to his head, it ain't a shock to see 25 Cent call 50 Cent selfish like it'd be when Ready Rock C calls Will selfish....

ash trey Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 5o dosen't give back to his family. That is rather upsetting since 50 shows off about haaving so much donated to the hood. But I guess he dosent give back to his own ppl but gives to recognised charities which will give him headline and help him sell a million more albums.

bigted Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) It'd be funny to see 25 Cent blow up and expose how fake his cousin is, I wonder how many cents there are in that piggy bank?! :bat: 50 Cent is a fraud and it's believable he don't take care of his family 'cause he said on MTV when he was speaking with Sway that he don't raise his son, I guess that tells you how many heartless people are in this world, they ended up buying his album anyway, if I was a fan of his I'd never buy an album from him again once I heard that 'cause if you ain't supporting your son, I ain't supporting in buying your album with my hard earned money....

MaxFly Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 The mere fact that this person's name is "25 Cent" is in itself pathetic. Like cookies said, we're going to start seeing 10 cent, 5 cent, and 1 cent come out soon. What's the world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceAngel Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 And what depends that "25 Cent".. Your shure thats right? I dont think he`s really gonna call himself like that. Well, he's related to 50 Cent, so you never know... :lolsign: I agree that name does sound pretty stupid tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Who knows maybe 25 might be more talented than 50, don't judge him until you actually hear him, hopefully that doesn't mean that he's half of what 50 is though, 50's bad enough, that's why it's more predictable to say that corniness runs in the family, especially with coming up with a corny name like 25 Cent, hopefully 25 is actually good if he blows up 'cause I don't wanna hear anymore wack rappers, lol, if it was LL's cousin maybe we'd anticipate more 'cause of how great LL is...
