is 50cent gettin raped?

[DATMAN$]

I Was thinking 50cent has sold over 30 millions records g-unit members album all went platnium game shyt went 5 times plat why on forbes he only made 8 million dollars shouldnt his royalties be more than that every year and dont forget sms audio,cheetah vision,sk energy, im not trying to bash im a 50cent fan just wondering

 

[DATMAN$]

can somebody tell me how royalties or forbes work

 

[The Emperor]

Nobody is buying 50 Cent music anymore...
GRODT came out like 10 years ago...

Can't live off those royalties forever, who ever was going to buy that album has bought that album pretty much...
It's not Bob Marley or Elvis with people casually buying a new cd...

 

[DATMAN$]

i thought royalites off singles and album sales keep coming in because in da club went like 3xplat

that shady/aftermath deal he took A LOT of money upfront, one of the reasons why no labels in NY could sign him cause they werent going to give up that kind of money upfront. Em and Dre did so who knows what he gave up to get all that money. Also a lot of 50 products don't do as well as people think. Its a double edged sword when you promote products cause when you aren't hot it transfers over to the product.

Forbes isnt as accurate as you think...I dunno If hes made more or less but yeah, they dont access to all artists financial info.
And artists only support Forbes when it looks like they've made a lot of money lol.

You remember when he was in the top 3 on Forbes he made a song about it lol and now If you ask him about Forbes he'll most likely say its inaccurate.

The up front money is not why NY labels wouldn't sign him, Supreme was

you really over estimate supremes reach, yeah Irv Gotti made a ton of phonecalls but the 3 milli 50 wanted upfront had a lot to do with labels not signing him.
