Rapper-turned-entrepreneur, 50 Cent, oversees an empire that includes his mega-bucks earning Vitamin Water investment, technology, and fashion, such as his on-hiatus G-Unit line and a stake in a fancy hi-tech underwear brand called Frigo. He is also a member of the Forbes Five, the quintet of the wealthiest hip hop artists in the biz, led by Sean "Diddy" Combs with a net worth of a cool $700 million.

Rocking a vibrant blue graphic sweatshirt, cobalt leather kicks, and a matching G-Unit cap, 50 Cent expressed to Fashionista his appreciation of style, explaining that he prefers looks that he likes, as opposed to name brands. To prove the point, he actually couldn't name any labels from his outfit, but that might be because his stylist picked everything.

"A lot of times I'm not even dressing myself," he laughed.

While on the subject of fashion and music, Fashionista brought up his interview with XXL in January when he said that it would be difficult for fellow rapper/entrepreneur Kanye West to enter the fashion design game.

"In Kanye's case, wanting to be a part of high-end fashion, that's a process," 50 Cent told XXL. "It's not something that just happens. It's like - they're not gonna allow you to tomorrow wake up, and say 'This idea, that idea. This idea and I'm in and I'm hot.'"

What 50 was saying is that it's hard to be that person who's completely outside of the business trying to get his or her ideas in the door (no shade on West's ability).

"[The high end fashion designers] have been passionate about [fashion] for a very long time and worked to get to where they are and are not so prone to just letting people come in and just turning into a big deal," he says.

The multi-talented artist, who made his acting debut in 2005 in the movie Get Rich or Die Tryin, likens the endeavor to his experience in film.

"When you come from a genre of music and into film, you have talent that has been bumped around," he explains. "There are really talented people [already in the business] and it kind of irks them that the person who's been receiving the opportunity - that they really want and have been working, preparing for it for a long time - just comes out of somewhere else."
