AllHipHop’s Gina Torres interviews rap mogul 50 Cent about the former First Lady of G-Unit, RnB songstress Olivia. He talks about financing and promoting Olivia and had this to say:

“The problem you get with female solo artists is they game is really small. They look at it and say ‘Beyonce, Rihanna, Keyshia Cole…’ When you got an African-American female, solo artist, she sees where she fits immediately. The problem is they spend finances like those artists, having the set-up — the make-up artist, the stylists, different things.”

50 Cent has made various sacrifices in his career to help push Olivia. He stated:

“It had me compromising myself at certain points. I made sacrifices for other artists that I don’t think people acknowledge them… “When I’m doing a Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ movie soundtrack, I know I’m supposed to be doing ‘I’ll Whip Your Head Boy.’ … And I’m doing ‘If I Was Your Best Friend’ because I’m already $2 million in the hole on the actual project.”
