50 Cent Premieres Tonight

MTV is launching a new business reality show featuring rapper 50 Cent!

In "50 Cent: The Money and the Power", 14 wannabe business moguls will live and work together in a warehouse in Brooklyn. The contestants will sleep in tents named after the five boroughs of New York City. They will compete in challenges designed to help teach them the very same skills that helped 50 Cent succeed.

At the end of every episode, 50 Cent will narrow down the contestants but testing them on the knowledge he has taught them. At the end, the winner will receive $100,000 to help them launch their dream.

"Ahead of my actual music taking off, I would have wanted to be on the show," he said. "$100,000 would have been great, and the MTV exposure."

The show will run for ten one hour episodes, starting tonight.

You can expect to see a lot more of 50. As previously mentioned, he is releasing his latest album, Before I Self Destruct, on December 9th.
