50 Cent Likes Dietary Supplements

50 Cent hasn't had the easiest time lately.

His Long Island, N.Y. mansion was destroyed by fire last year, and his ex-girlfriend (with whom he had a custody battle) accused him of burning it to force her to move out. His The Money And The Power reality show was cancelled after a handful of episodes, and he recently said he'd lost lots of money in the stock market crash.

For some reason, Fiddy seems to think it's a good idea to get into the dietary supplements business to make some more scrilla. Yes, that's right, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) wants you to put him in your diet along with his Vitamin Water.

"Right now, I'm interested in dietary supplements," 50 Cent told the New York Daily News newspaper. "I'll be coming up with something very soon.

"I can't tell you what it would be called. I'd be blowing the big launch party!"

Will it be a vitamin supplement or an herbal supplement? What should he call it? Feel free to leave suggestions below. We personally like "ginseng for gangsters" or "hip-hop hibiscus."

Fiddy says the idea surfaced because he's developed "Diddy syndrome" from his success.

"As soon as you develop the Diddy syndrome, you put a little more grease in your hair, and soon enough, you're selling cologne," he told the Daily News.

Fiddy's fourth album, Before I Self Destruct, was to be released on Feb. 3, but is now tentatively scheduled to hit stores sometime in March.
