Community Building -- the 50 Cent Way
From the annals of "There goes the neighborhood" -- Big, bad Fitty (a/k/a 50 Cent) moved into a luxe suburban town and what did he do to endear himself to the neighbors? He threw an all-access, no holds barred party ("like it's your birthday") and invited just enough locals to generate some goodwill.
Although the neighbors admit sticking out among the Hollywood-types, the 28-year-old rapper gave them all VIP access."There were definitely a few people there who you wouldn't normally see at a 50 Cent party,"' said local radio DJ Buck. "But I guess he just wanted to prove to them that 'I can have a good time and there won't be any trouble.'" (Full story here.)
The ex-drug pusher, current porn peddler, and all-around hip hop impresario bought the 48,500 square foot manse in 2003 for $4.1 million.
