50 Cent
"In Da Club"
50 Cent is the stage name of Curtis Jackson, an American rapper and businessman who rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits like "In Da Club." The name references both small change and the slang meaning of getting shot—Jackson survived being shot nine times before his career took off.
The name sometimes appears in discussions of hip-hop or as shorthand for someone who came up from nothing: He thinks he's 50 Cent just because he grew up rough.
