50 Cent has revealed that his next album will be his final full-length release, although the 46-year-old rapper will not be leaving the music business entirely.
50 has been teasing a follow-up to his 2014 album Animal Ambition for some time now but the project is yet to materialise.
In a recent interview promoting the upcoming Power spin-off series called Force, which is based on Tommy’s character, 50 discussed one of his recent Instagram posts, which was trending online after people saw the caption: “Smile my next album might be my last.”
“I probably think I’ll deliver one more full-length album, then the other things I do will be connected to film and television,” he said on The Talk on CBS. “I’m having so much success in this area that I have opportunities to keep releasing music through the projects that I’m bringing.”
See a clip from 50’s interview below:
50 Cent has released five solo studio albums across his career: Get Rich Or Die Tryin (2003), The Massacre (2005), Curtis (2007), Before I Self Destruct (2009) and Animal Ambition 2014. He also put out two albums with G-Unit: Beg For Mercy (2003) and T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight) (2008).
