He also sported a black fitted New York cap to shout out the city and state that birthed him. The gold chain around his neck was perhaps the highlight of his wardrobe.

50 Cent’s weight loss shouldn’t come as a complete surprise. The rapper had gotten used to carrying a heavier look over the years.

“Ima start talking mad s*** when I’m back in shape. That’s when I want to fight and s*** like that,” he once posted on social media according to Hot New Hip Hop.
