50 Cent Reveals Why He’s Betting Big On AI Music

50 Cent has never been one to shy away from innovation or controversy.

The hip-hop mogul has now turned his attention to artificial intelligence, using the technology to remix some of his biggest hits into soulful old-school R&B tracks.

This move has resulted in a viral online storm that has got fans and even Joe Rogan both amazed and a little terrified.

If the rapper’s words are anything to go by, this is only the beginning.

In a new interview with Jordan Rose for Complex, 50 Cent explained why he’s already fully embracing AI and why others should too.

“I really like those songs, the ones that I’ve posted… I really like them,” he said.

The “Den of Thieves” star, who recently shared AI-generated versions of his classic tracks “21 Questions” and “God Gave Me Style,” said the technology allows his music to reach audiences who may have missed it the first time.

“If it will reach someone that I missed, someone who couldn’t hear what I was trying to say to them in the writing, they can hear it now in that format,” he explained.

The reimagined tracks, which feature soulful R&B-style vocals and smooth melodies, have quickly gone viral on social media.

“I don’t know where the AI got these voices from, but these are some good voices,” 50 Cent added. “Like, if these guys came out in that time period, they would have been competition for the guys that were there.”

When asked whether he is worried about how far AI has advanced, the 50-year-old made it clear he is not fighting it, but he’s joining it.

“You want to fight something. I don’t like fighting fights I can’t win,” the rapper said. “I don’t think you can beat AI. I think you need to go with it.”

50 Cent explained that people needed to focus on creating businesses that could adapt and thrive alongside AI, noting that progress would continue, and it was important to keep up with it.

The actor also pointed out that while many critics are quick to slam AI, they might secretly be using it too.

“People have different opinions on artificial intelligence,” he said, “but critical people might just be using it anyway.”

On Instagram, 50 has been experimenting with AI for a while.

On October 8, the “Power” actor shared a post that showed the transformation of his own image into a 1950s-style beauty shot for one of his viral posts.

Alongside a soulful reimagining of his hit “21 Questions,” he wrote, “Now this sh*t is hot.”

In no time, fans flooded the comments section with their thoughts.

Many praised the reimagination, with one fan writing, “I love it!!! I was never a big fan of hip hop but through this words I start listening.”

Another fan commented, “This version gives me goosebumps,” while a third added, “This proves how great of a songwriter 50 is. Great writing works no matter the melody.”

50 Cent’s AI experiment has not only impressed fans, but it has also caught the attention of Joe Rogan.

Last month, the popular podcaster couldn’t hide his shock after hearing a soulful AI version of 50’s classic, “Many Men (Wish Death).”

“They took 50 Cent’s ‘Many Men’ and made it, like, a soulful song that seems like it’s from the ’50s or ’60s… It’s not even a real human being’s voice, and it’s f-cking good, dude,” Rogan said.

Even though he praised the creativity, he admitted that the whole thing felt “f-cking scary.”

The eerie mix of soulful vocals and gangsta rap lyrics left him amazed and uneasy.

Fans flooded the comments online, agreeing that while the remixes sound incredible, the rise of AI in music is both fascinating and frightening.
