In his Instagram video, 50 Cent made mention of his Final Lap tour, and referenced the fact that he’d been unstoppable on stage for it. That’s not exactly a novel concept for the rapper — far from it. As he explained in his interview with Men’s Health, being fit on stage has always been a priority for him, and he revealed that it took several songs for him to break a sweat. That was in stark contrast to many of his contemporaries, he’d quipped to the outlet. “They sweatin’ on the second verse. Like, ‘You just got out there and you soaking wet!'” he complained.
Stage performances aren’t the only focus of 50 Cent’s fitness. In fact, as pointed out by M&F, the rapper has a well-documented history of tailoring his training for film and TV work, too. Just as he put on weight for “For Life,” he also went through a grueling regimen to play a running back in the 2011 film “All Things Fall Apart.” Speaking of that process in a 2015 interview with the outlet, the mogul shared that he’d been on a liquid diet, and found ways to incorporate cardio into every day. That even included running from the airport to the hotel where he was staying.
No word on whether the running he referred to in his Instagram video entailed quite as strenuous a task. That said, we wouldn’t rule it out.
