In early May, the “P.I.M.P” hitmaker was presented with the Entrepreneurial Leadership Award by the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship. The honor was handed to him by Power actor Joseph Sikora, who said: “There is no one more befitting of an award for an entrepreneur than Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson.”
“What we’re doing is honoring 50 an award tonight for entrepreneurship, and the reason why it’s a good thing is we’re raising a lot of money for other young entrepreneurs from underprivileged backgrounds so they get in, make money, have success, have their own power in life,” MSNBC host and chief legal correspondent Ari Melber explained about the gathering.
During his acceptance speech, the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ MC expressed his gratitude and said: “I do want to say thank you to all of the teachers, all of the mentors and all of the volunteers to support G-Unit to this point, because without them, the organization won’t be as successful as it is.”
