50 Cent will not hesitate to sic his lawyers on you to protect himself; he enjoys it so much that he revealed that he has spent a ridiculous amount on legal fees.
Speaking with Wallo and Gillie on an episode of their podcast Million Dollaz Worth of Game, 50 Cent touched on many topics, including his finances.
One topic that raised eyebrows was the G-Unit general spending over $20 million in legal fees as he continues to rise in the ranks in Hip-Hop and entertainment.
“I’ve spent $24 million in my career, so far. I can’t wait’ till I get rich,” Fif said. “Just on lawyers. I’ve spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.” Hilariously, he noted that when things get spicy and his rivals are trying him, he has his lawyers on speed dial. “When they agitate me, I’ll send the f**king lawyers.”
The “Wanksta” rapper also revealed he doesn’t have a management team, opting to roll with legal representation all the time.
“I have general counsel. I don’t have a manager,” he said. “Why do I need you to manage me for? I’ve done every deal a 100 f**king times that I would be doing for me as a music artist. Why do I need you to do that for? They all want to work at a percentage and you want a percentage of me? You didn’t build this — I built it.”
As we previously reported, 50 Cent also had time for Damon Dash, calling out the struggling cake-a-holic for hating his million-dollar deal with Shady Aftermath.
