In 2008, Taco Bell approached 50 cent with an offer to change his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent, with the idea it would promoted Taco Bell's new value meals. In return, Taco Bell promised to donate $10,000 to a charity of his choice if he also agrees to stop at one of their outlets and rap his order at the drive-thru.
50 Cent(declaring he would quit performing if Kanye West sold more albums than him): Let's raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer perform music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out any more solo albums. They would like to see Kanye West give me a problem because I've worked myself into a space where I've become the favorite. Everybody roots for the underdog when he goes against the favorite.
