What you have to understand is that entertainers lives are much different from other's lives....Of course they're around each other more, they don't work regular 40-80 work weeks punching a clock. Floyd's work is basically training a gym which everyone wants to see. 50 works in a studio and is a business man....I'm willing to bet as busy as 50 cent is, he probably has a lot of time on his hands to do whatever he wants.....
50 and Floyd both don't do drugs/alcohol, both are into being fit at all times, both rich as hell & are the only people in each other's lives that don't NEED one another.....If you can find a friend who's into that much of the same shyt at their age you keep them around.....Honestly at a certain age you really only have a few best friends.....I'm sure most of 50 lost most of his friends from queens (bang em smurf...they were knuckle heads)....there's probably yayo, sha money and a few others, but look at his relationship with banks....he's said numerous times, banks is a baby to him...he's a kid.
