How did the rapper, 50 Cent, get his name?
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson took his name from a notorious stick-up artist of the 1980s by the same name. The Original 50 Cent was named Kelvin Martin who measured 5′-3″. Martin worked with the notorious Supreme Team, and he was aligned with rap artists Eric B and Rakim. Martin robbed and murdered several people, including several former friends and high ranked drug lords, and robbed the rap group Whodini. His criminal pursuit of money eventually caught up with him, resulting in his murder. The surviving family members of Kelvin Martin do not endorse Curtis Jackson.
