50 reportedly dropped down to 160 pounds from 214 , while also losing 6 inches from his waist . He ditched his muscles during a nine-week training session, comprised of a liquid diet and daily walks on a treadmill for up to three hours.
Tony Yayo had an interview with MTV about 50 Cent’s career . “50 doesn’t party, he doesn’t drink. For his new film, the guy was, like, 130 pounds,” Yayo said. “He was running from the airport to the hotel. And I was like, ‘Man, he has the three D’s: desire, determination and direction.’ ”
