50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, isin a good mood and happy toshow off his bullet wounds as hetells FQ about being a Dad andother matters close to his heart
FQ: IS YOUR SON MARQUIS AWARE THAT YOU’RE THIS HUGE, WORLDWIDE CELEBRITY?
CJ: Yeah, he is totally aware of it. He thinks I’m a superhero. Early on his friends in school didn’t even know that he was my son, because I didn’tlet him wear anything that indicated that he was my little boy. Even though he got like a million pairs of G-Unit shoes, shirts, pants, anything youcan think of, he had to wear specific things that we picked out for him. We went shopping for him away from G-Unit. But after a while, they kindacaught on.
FQ: SO YOU WEAR THE G-UNIT STUFF YOURSELF?
CJ: If you have an opportunity to create something that’s your own style and share it with other people, I think it’s exciting.
FQ: HOW OFTEN DO YOU TALK WITH YOUR SON?
CJ: All the time. Well, I once didn’t speak to him for two days.
FQ: HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE HIM?
I see him when I’m in the States. When I’m home I get him and we hang out. Me and his mum though… are not on the best terms.
FQ: BUT YOU PAY A REALLY NICE CHILD SUPPORT, DON’T YOU?
Yeah I do. But money is not the problem.
FQ: AS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, ARE YOU SINGLE?
Sure. Yes.

FQ: HOW COME?
Because I have a lot going on and it’s tough. Let’s say that I’d commit to someone who is ‘normal’ and has a ‘normal’ lifestyle; I think they would feel neglected on some levels.
FQ: BUT COULDN’T YOU JUST BRING THEM ON TOUR?
On tour? Then they start to not look so great to you anymore, a person who has no… woah that’s…think about that. Everyday, all-day, hangingaround all day and you’d be like “Woah, you don’t have anything to do?”
FQ: WHAT DO YOU DO THEN? DO YOU JUST FLIRT WITH GIRLS, AND SLEEP WITH A NEW GIRL EVERY NIGHT LIKE SNOOP DOGG?
Naaah, I’m not like Snoop. He does his thing. Snoop’s married though, [he says and raises his finger with a smile].
FQ: IS IT SEXUALLY FRUSTRATING TO BE FAMOUS AND SINGLE OR DO YOU SLEEP WITH PEOPLE YOU MEET?
Well, you gotta be careful anyway. That’s why I had the idea to create a condom company, so I can create a safe sex campaign that’s actuallyeffective. You gotta be careful with who you’re hanging out with.

FQ: YOU HAVE BEEN SHOT A NUMBER TIMES. CAN YOU SHOW ME A BULLET
Aaaaw. [He points at his arm at a round little dark scar] Right there. It came up on the top of my knuckle [shows his disfigured knuckle, then points at his cheek and then opens his mouth and drags his mouth to the side so I can see a huge gap where a tooth should have been]. And right here, and here.
