Whenever you have a photo shoot with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, you can bet good money that he’ll either arrive on time or be there early. He doesn’t play when it comes to the clock. It’s like everything else in his life that he sees as an obstacle, he wants to conquer it. “I’m only getting younger out here,” 50 boasts as he enters the office space doubling as a studio where the new digital VIBE cover shoot is being held. The team in tow is light for a man who once traveled with a security detail that rivaled Barack Obama’s Secret Service squad. These days Fif’s entourage is a four-deep creative team and his new G-Unit rap recruit, Kidd Kidd. On set, 50 continues to pontificate with his trademark wide smile. “I’m turning 40 in July, then every year after that I’m going down a year like Benjamin Button!” Those words are in jest, but they are also a goal he works towards.
