50 Cent is a man of his word. The hip-hop mogul traveled to Africa with ABC News reporter Dan Harris this week as part of his Street King initiative to provide a million meals to impoverished nations.

He visited a refugee camp in Somalia, where he served food to the children, and journeyed to Kenya, dancing with his young fans. “At times today, this [very] confident rapper was left speechless,” tweeted Harris.

The philanthropic rapper posted photos of himself on Facebook with a message. “I’m in Somalia this week to show the world the devastation that is taking place,” he wrote. “Children going hungry everyday, even dying everyday from hunger. I am going to keep sending thru images from out here. I need you to take these photos and re-post to your friends. The world needs to see what is going on.”

50 Cent checked into the Bud Light Hotel in Indianapolis over Super Bowl weekend for a mini-concert, parts of which aired last night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Repping the world champion New York Giants, Fif and his G-Note Records signee Governor performed “Wait Until Tonight” off his mixtape The Big 10, returning for an encore of “I Just Wanna” with Tony Yayo.

50 Cent is betting big on the New York Giants. Backstage at the Bud Light Hotel in Indianapolis during Super Bowl weekend, the hip-hop tycoon spoke to Yahoo! about the million-dollar wager on his home town.

“Baby had said he had $5 million on the Patriots,” 50 said in response to the Cash Money CEO’s proposed bet on New England. “I just think he was just passionate about the Patriots winning and just said that. I don’t think he actually would bet $5 million.”

The G-Unit captain banked $500,000 when the Giants defeated the 49ers in the playoffs. “It would just be risking what I won the first time,” he explained.

But one bet he won’t be taking is posing nude on Twitter if the Giants lose, which one fan suggested. “No. This is what happens on my Twitter,” he said. “When people say really crazy things, I say, ‘OK.’ I don’t say anything else. I just say, ‘OK’ so my fans can see the crazy things people say to me because they don’t pay attention to what they’re saying. They only pay attention to my response.”

Chelsea Handler is used to asking the questions, but the blonde comedienne was the one in the hot seat on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show on Monday (Jan. 23). The talk show host got candid when speaking about her relationship with 50 Cent and had some choice words for Mariah Carey.

“He’s actually a lot different than you would think. He’s really sweet,” Handler said of the hip-hop star, who she dated briefly in 2010. “I thought it was kind of amusing that I would even be with 50 Cent. I thought it was funny.”

Her Hollywood pals including Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were fascinated by their romance. “My friends all loved him, my friends fell in love with him,” she said. “They loved that I was dating him. They were like, ‘Chelsea, come on.’ They were both laughing really hard at it… I mean, everyone was.”

But things went sour after one of 50’s ex-girlfriends, rumored to be Ciara, appeared on her show. “We dated for a couple months and then we had a falling out,” she explained. “One of his ex-girlfriends was coming onto my show.”

According to Handler, 50 warned her that his ex still had feelings for him, but she didn’t want to hear it.

“It was just so juvenile, I was at work,” said Handler before hurling insults his way. “Whatever I called him was probably the worst thing you could say to a black person, short of calling him the N-word. I said you’re like a street person, basically, something along the lines of being a gangster. It was really, really offensive and I hung up and I’ve never spoken to him again.”

50 wasn’t her only victim. Handler also lashed out at Mariah Carey. “She’s worse than Elizabeth Taylor,” she said. “She’s just so ridiculous with her body. You see her one day and she’s like 50 pounds heavier or lighter. I mean, what is she doing? I don’t even understand what hemisphere people like that operate in. There’s nothing real about her and her Hello Kitty whatever…”

The Giants weren’t the only winners this weekend. New York’s own 50 Cent bet big on his home team and ended up collecting when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s playoff game to advance to the Super Bowl. The hip-hop tycoon showed off his earnings (rumored to be $500,000) on Twitter, posing with racks on racks of $100 bills.

“Just watched a 500,000 dollar foot ball game get on my level,” tweeted 50, who plans to share his wealth with his grandmother. “I’m giving this money to my nana she gonna faint LMAO all she do is go to the church.”

50 Cent proudly showed off his STREET and SYNC by 50 headphones at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Tuesday (Jan. 10). The hip-hop mogul was on hand to sign autographs and take photos with fans on the showroom floor, speaking with Spike TV during a live interview.

“It’s an extension to my passion for music ’cause I spend more time in the studio actually mixing material, making sure that the sound quality is right than actually creating the idea,” said 50, who declared his headphones the best wireless set on the market.

He also briefly touched on his music, reiterating his concerns with his label. “I wrote this album and it’s been discouraging at points to not see the same efforts from everyone,” he explained.

50 Cent is backing down following last week’s Twitter rant. A humbler 50 apologized to his record label after blaming them for the leak of his single.

The G-Unit rapper was disappointed when the song, “Girls Go Wild” featuring Jeremih, premiered last week on MySpace. “I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on,” a discouraged 50 told his followers. “I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.”

But he’s now singing a new tune. “Discovered a computer glitch leaked my song. Sorry to team at interscope for over reacting!” an apologetic 50 tweeted on Sunday evening.

Despite his apology, he’s still not motivated to release his fifth album for Interscope Records. “I put a lot in to this project but I don’t care if it ever comes out,” he said. “[Interscope Chairman] Jimmy iovine has been like a mentor for me. I just want to stay friends.”

50 Cent will be in Las Vegas this week for CES, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, where he will sign autographs to promote his headphones SYNC by 50.

While most were celebrating the new year, 50 Cent was feeling less optimistic about the future. The outspoken rapper took to Twitter once again to vent his frustrations.

Following the premature premiere of his new single “Girls Go Wild” featuring Jeremih, the G-Unit CEO expressed his disappointment with those around him. “I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on,” he tweeted. “I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.”

Despite threats to his label Interscope Records, 50 still plans to release his fifth album. “I’m going to deliver this album. Then I have a film I wrote to focus on. I’m not upset, I’m just convinced this is not how I want to remembered.”

In a darker tweet, he explained why he started his Street King movement, which feeds millions of starving Africans. “I’ll be honest I don’t think I’m gonna live much longer,” revealed 50. “That’s why I started my street king movement. I want to mean more in other people’s lives.”

And his moment of reflection didn’t stop there. “To be conscious that life is short is not suicidal. I’m good if I die tonight. I’ve taken care of the people who took care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself.”

50 Cent shakes up the clubs on his new single “Girls Go Wild” featuring Jeremih, which premiered on his MySpace page. The whimsical banger, produced by Mike Will, features radio-friendly rhymes from Fif and a catchy sing-song hook.

An upset 50 took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the song’s early premiere. “I have lost all the faith in the team I’m on,” he wrote. “I having nothing left to say I will not be promoting my music.”

50 Cent is using his online clout to get what he wants. After the success of his latest mixtape and viral videos, the rap megastar is making threats, telling his label to move forward with his album or he’ll release more free music.

The video for “Put Ya Hands Up,” a cut off 50’s mixtape The Big 10, has racked up 3.2 million views in four days. In response to its popularity, 50 delivered an ultimatum to Jimmy Iovine, the CEO of his label Interscope Records.

“I got 3,500,000 views in 3 day on hands up. Ok I need a record deal jimmy iovine , call me early tomorrow or I’m putting out another mix tape,” threatened 50, adding, “Anybody want to sign me I’m a young hungry artist and I work harder then everybody in hiphop call me tomorrow.”

This is not the first time 50 has publicly called out his label on Twitter. In a recent tweet, he chastised Interscope for prematurely announcing a release date for his single, “Girls Go Wild” featuring Jeremih. He is reportedly not happy with the way his upcoming album has been promoted.

The G-Unit mogul is in the process of renegotiating with his label to renew his contract. His deal with Interscope is set to expire with his fifth album.
