With active accounts on both Instagram and Twitter, 50 Cent was recently asked about his presence on social media during his appearance on BETâs â106 & Park.â While discussing social media, the Queens emcee was asked what he loves and hates about social networking.
In regards to what he loves about social media, 50 revealed that itâs the ability to reach a large amount of people at a momentâs notice. And on the opposite end, the rapper informed those watching that heâs not a fan of the intrusiveness that comes with being on social media.
âThe positive part is weâre able to reach large amounts of people,â 50 Cent said. âLike whenever youâre ready you can actually say things. So, you donât actually have to be doing press or publicity in order to get a message to the massesâŠWe can launch music at a faster pace and just put it straight on YouTube. Have everybody get a chance to see it. The thing that I donât like sometimes is they feel like they are entitled to an explanation for things at points. You know? And itâs like it makes them follow with an intensity thatâsâItâs beyond me. Like a lot of times if likeâThe things that youâve done even in your career, itâs so many things that people would maybe think, but not ask you. You know what Iâm saying?

Towards the end of his interview on â106 & Park,â 50 Cent was asked to speak on his upcoming album, Animal Ambition. While addressing his new LP, 50 commented on the consistency needed when it comes to releasing music in todayâs climate.
âMore heat. Like for me Iâm just warming up,â he said, when asked what fans can expect on Animal Ambition. âJust getting back in action. This is why I wanted to consistently release new music every week to keep everyone engaged. Because a lot of times now it takes 20 weeks for your record to make it to the Top 10. And it used to take six to eight.â
Animal Ambition will serve as 50 Centâs first studio album following his departure from Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records in February of this year. The album is currently scheduled for release on June 3.
