While 50 Cent can be called a troll, he can’t be dubbed a liar.
At least a lie detector test from Vanity Fair says so. The rapper sat down with the publication to take a nine-minute polygraph test where he was asked questions ranging from his recent move to Texas, Kanye West’s Donda rollout, and sliding in people’s DMs. It seems like he reliably tells the truth.
Around the 5:30 mark, the woman conducting the test prodded Fif about his music, particularly his 2003 debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. She began with the song “21 Questions,” asking if he’s posed those questions to his current girlfriend Cuban Link.
“No, but she’s heard the song,” 50 said. Asked how he knows if she’ll still love him in a hooptie, he responded, “Oh, I didn’t make that mandatory for those questions to be asked and answered in the relationship. It was just a song.”
Fif was then asked about the song “High All the Time,” with the host pointing out the fact that he actually doesn’t smoke. “Do you always lie in your songs?” she asked.
“Well I was high all the time, but everybody else was smoking around me,” he said.
She moved on to “In da Club,” quizzing him on the line, “You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub” and whether if the bottle is actually full of bub. “When it first opened, yeah,” he said. She asked if it’s actually full of ginger ale. “I’ve filled champagne bottles with ginger ale,” he answered.
When she called him out for again being not 100 percent truthful in his songs, he said, “Yeah, there’s points that you say things because you’re being creative, you create.”
As far as ’Ye’s Donda release, 50 Cent noted he believes it was a publicity stunt, though it didn’t beat Kanye’s presidential run in 2020.
