It was really only a matter of time… I mean 50 Cent has put his name on a number of products, you might say selling out, including Vitamin Water, Reebok, a new body spray and Magic Stick Condoms. In other words, 50 Cent is not afraid to put his name on products that he supports.
Well, Taco Bell might have gone a little far with the rap mogul - I suggest developing a new bullet-proof variety of taco shell. Apparently the company put together a proposal for 50 to make an appearance at a Taco Bell store, rap his order, and change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent - the prices of items on Taco Bell’s Value Menu.
The contract was leaked before 50 Cent’s people even got their hands on it and now 50 Cent is upset that the whole thing was a publicity stunt.
Overall, it hasn’t been a good month for 50 Cent: His ex is suing 50 for burning her house down and he’s feuding with his G-Unit counterpart Young Buck. Who knows, if things keep going this way for 50 Cent, he might start making appearances at Taco Bell without even having to pay him.

I don’t know how much street cred 50 still has in the rap game (What is the grace period on 9 gunshot wounds?) but if he changed his name to Taco Bell prices he would lose whatever is left.
