50 Cent: Daily Routine

From South Jamaica hustler to TV mogul, 50 Cent’s routine is all discipline, dumbbells, and ginger ale in the club.

In 2010, speaking on his machine-like work ethic, 50 Cent said, “sleep is for those people who are broke. I don’t sleep, I might miss the opportunity to make a dream become a reality.”

A decade later, in his 2020 self-help memoir, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, he wrote “maybe I could get away with skimping on the sleep when I was younger, especially because I don’t drink or smoke, but now I understand it’s a shortcut I can’t take anymore.”

The maturation of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been a fascinating one to watch. As a drug dealer on the streets of South Jamaica, Queens, Jackson survived the 1980s crack epidemic, to become one of the biggest rappers in the world. He then transitioned to a music mogul with a knack for spotting the right deals.
