"I think that the thing that gets in the way of my core audience, like my original fans, is the success itself. They go, 'ah, he's rich, he can't rap like that.' See, that's funny because the guys that are rapping like they rich don't have it," 50 Cent said.

"So the guys who don't have the money are rapping like they have the money, but they've exhausted it so much that it's not exciting for me to write it. It's just because they're inspired to have it. Meanwhile, when you actually make it, you look back at how far you've come. You'll have an interest in writing things that you missed writing on that first project."

The "Chase the Paper" rapper was candid when asked about his relationship with model Tatted Up Holly (who he calls "my girlfriend, that's my friend, a homey"), espousing surprisingly conservative values when it comes to love and romance.
