Rapper and actor, 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was on Tyra Banks’ talk show today and Tyra got a “feel” for how much cash he carries with him at all times. I don’t have the rights to the photos but click here for a gander.
He shared – and showed – that he carries $25,000 with him IN CASH!
“just in case something happens… I don’t know whether I’ll have to buy something or not.”
“I like to have cash on me because it feels like I have money,” added 50.
Tyra was floored over the amount, too:
“I’ve never in my life seen anybody with that much money in their back pocket,” Tyra confesses.
I guess it’s a good thing he has such a strong security detail with him! I don’t think I would’ve admitted to having that much money on me. I remember an episode of The View where Joy said she carried quite a huge chunk of money with her because of a fear of having to leave the city in a hurry and not having any cash on her. (like a 9/11 type situation) And I remember being shocked that she’d tell something like that on national tv. I’d be scared to death of being mugged!
Would you ever carry a huge chunk of cash with you?

I like to carry cash with me too, maybe not as much as him (I don’t have so much) but I prefer cash over cards. If power goes off I won’t be able to use it lol.
i guess some people have more money than brains.
I also carry 25,000$ with me at all times. Comes in handy.
i get nervous carrying $100. yikes!
50 looks good here ! Its amazing what a good suit will do for people.
That’s what credit cards are for… I’ll be lucky to carry $20. I just don’t carry cash.
…or class.
wow that’s a lot of money to carry.
I’m sure for $25,000 cash someone would try getting past his security.
there is a reason why old money looks down on the nouveau riche…
money won’t ever buy you class.
Give me some money fella!
Well considering how much any of his very tasteful chains or diamond watches costs I guess 25K feels like monopoly money.
Like the rest of the world I don’t care about him but Tyra irks me BIG TIME.
WOWZA!!
If he grew up, and wasn’t trying “beef” with other rappers, in order to sell records, and use their families he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
He got LUCKY with that vitamin water deal, besides that he’s just another thug that got lucky in the rap game, and has to show off.
He’s got ego issues, and hasn’t had a hit in years.
Sorry but how pretentious of him. Recession, what recession!!!!
In poor taste… not so much to actually carry the money; that can be simply called eccentric; but to talk about it with strangers and to pull it out! How desperate is he for validation? And from whom?
