50 Cent returned to Rachael Ray’s daytime talk show to play a game of Truth or Dare renamed “50/50” in his honor. He was asked his most embarrassing moment and what he would do if he was the opposite sex for a day (“I would be sexually delinquent”). In addition, he had to perform silly dares including sticking a spoon on his nose and doing 10 push-ups.

During the sit-down interview, the rap mogul admitted to still owning a Walkman, timing the release of his new album (July 2) with his birthday (July 6), G-Unit’s latest roster (Kidd Kidd, Precious Paris, and Shawty Lo), and the last thing he downloaded, which happened to be his own album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. “I had to download it ’cause I had to listen to the music again before the [SXSW] performance,” he confessed.

“I tried to put together the odd team, not the A-team,” the G-Unit mogul told “Access Hollywood.” “It has a lot of different layers to it for something that has to happen in 30 seconds.”
