50 CENT'S DIAMOND BUYING GETTING SMACKED BY THE RECESSION!

The recession is hitting people differently. Some have lost their jobs, some their homes, some simply had to cut back a little.
But for a rapper like 50 Cent, it hits in an entirely different way: The recession means Fitty is having to sell some of his old diamonds before buying new ones, The London Telegraph reported. Aw, tough break.

“The credit crunch has hit rap,” 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Brown, said.

“I buy diamonds on a very regular basis, but now I am selling my old stuff before I get something new.

“These are times when you learn about the value of money.”

50 Cent said he has lost "a few milion."

“If you don’t lose money in this recession, it means you didn’t have enough to start off with,” 50 Cent said.

“Sure, I lost a few million, but that’s because I have so much. This is a time that will sort out the strong from the weak.

“Any businessman who wants a piece of the future should learn from me. Obama is great. If he wants me as his financial adviser that would be cool.”
