Someone never saw Behind The Music: MC Hammer. Via Daily News:
The free ride is over at 50 Cent's G-Unit Records. The rap mogul has confessed he was overgenerous with artists on his label. In fact, Fitty spent $8.5 million of his own money to take a lot of the rappers on his most recent tour so that they could bring their entourages - and so that everyone could travel, as he says, "comfortably." Not only that, he'd hand out hundreds of thousands of dollars to them at a time just for the asking, Sacha Jenkins writes in the new issue of XXL magazine. "Whether I got to give them $500,000 or $300,000 ... Just 'cause they want $300,000 more to make what they [are] doing at the time comfortable. Like, 'yo, I want to get this new place over here.'"
But that's all over now; Fitty declared he "wouldn't be assisting them financially anymore." This came after seeing his artists were "being paid," yet "[he] was the only person with G-Unit sneakers on" ... and also after realizing he needed to invest those Formula 50 cents in lip-syncing lessons.
