Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been partnering with main sports franchises non-quit through his Sire Spirits company’s Branson Cognac, Le Chemin du Roi Champagne and his charity, the G-Unity Foundation, exactly where he’s teaching youngsters the art and science of hustle.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers announced the partnership with Jackson’s G-Unity Foundation charity and Sire Spirits brand final month in October. “There could be a soccer group subsequent,” Jackson mentioned, laughing.

I laughed also, but I didn’t doubt the notion either. I spoke with Jackson through Zoom, then at a WeTV and ‘allblk’ series Hip Hop Homicides, exactly where the network had premiered an episode on the late Magnolia Shorty.

We discussed the series, his other productions, ‘Green Light Gang’ worldwide tour, most current sports partnerships and the perform his foundation is carrying out. But its his charity, the G-Unity Foundation, that bares specific note for the reason that it is attached to all of his sports partnerships.

It is attached to anything he’s carrying out now seriously. And provided Jackson’s quantity of obligations, I asked him why its a priority.

The intent behind promoting his spirits is clear, and his lauded dealings in tv are also. But charity is selfless perform when accomplished suitable.

Plus, it requires time, interest, and interest. It is much easier to go the Bezos route and give the funds for other people to dish out. So I asked Jackson about his motivation for providing back.

“This is legacy,” Jackson mentioned. “I’ve had youngsters have ideal attendance to the system that had days they did not really feel fantastic adequate to go to college, but they created it to the system soon after college.”

“There is a advantage to you just getting in attendance. And, seldom, they never show up or have it on their list of items they want to do,” he mentioned. It is sensible, also. In Jackson’s words, the system is rooted in their “passion at the present moment.”

That, and creating the students’ suggestions into anything tangible and producing it perform for them at the moment.

Jackson pays students to show up, has brought in bankers from major lenders to listen in and detail the lending procedure, and has even invested in his students’ ideal suggestions.

And his students cheer him on, also. And how could they not? Their teacher is 50 Cent, and the class topic is hustling. Case in point, Jackson received a philanthropic award lately, and quite a few youngsters from the system attended the ceremony.

“It is thrilling for me. They are not my biological youngsters, but they are my youngsters.”
