Bette, who described the rapper otherwise known as Curtis Jackson as a “giant” in entertainment, explained how she came to collaborate with 50. “We own 60 of these community gardens,” she said. “We took ownership of this one. This one was a very successful one, but they wanted little renovations here and there. We looked all over town for a group that was interested in these sort of things. We found G-Unity, which is Curtis’ foundation. They were interested. This garden is mainly for kids, and they do a lot of things with kids.”
The garden features lots of flowers, a vegetable garden, a community area where people can have barbecues and movies will be shown — and also a rainwater-collection system.
Fiddy reportedly ponied up more than $200 000 to create the utopian getaway.

Love 50!!! He rocks!!!!
That is such a cute photo. LOL
I’m sorry but I really don’t think 50 and the G Unit crew should really be role models for kids. They are all pretty much criminals and the music is definately inappropriate. I do think 50 Cent looks pretty good when he’s just being Curtis Jackson though and not trying so hard with the bling and rapper clothes. He scrubs up well, and at least he’s doing something worthwhile.
If you have to hang out with 50 to get the job done, I guess that’s what you have to do. I don’t know the man personally, but his lifestyle and music repulse me. However this positive mention makes me wonder “Can some people REALLY change?”
If so, well done!
50 Cent is a persona, a image - it’s fake.
Curtis Jackson is a man who grew up in Jamaica Queens, NY. Mr. Jackson made the the best of a bad situation and used that to make millions. Now he’s giving back to his community so that other kids don’t have to grow-up the way he did.
Rappers are just entertainers, artists, poets.
I don’t support that kind of entertainment but I always contribute to the foundations that benefit my community that are often times funded by these entertainers.
I think this shows that they are good role models.
