Donald Trump Predicts 50 Cent's Reality Show Will Fail

50 Cent is no stranger to confrontation or "beef," so we wonder how the hip-hop star will take recent comments made about his new reality show, '50 Cent: The Money and The Power.' In a recent interview, Trump talked about the recent hip-hop geared 'Apprentice' spin-offs. I'm in many, many rappers songs," Trump said. "And I know them. 50 Cent is sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he likes me. He just did a show. It was a copy of 'The Apprentice.'"

Trump and 50's "sort of " friendship might be a thing of the past once the rapper hears that the 62-year-old business magnate thinks 'The Money and The Power' is doomed to fail. "It will fail because he's not Trump, but he's actually a nice guy," he said. "And P. Diddy did a show which, by the way, I think bombed, but it was a copy. I wrote him a little note, 'Good luck with the copy.'" Ouch!

'The Money and The Power' features 14 hopefuls competing to win a $100, 000 investment from 50 to start his or her own business venture. The MTV show, which premiered on Nov. 6, air every Thursday night.

50 CENT LOOKS LIKE A CHIMPANZEE. BET YA $200 NOBODY WILL REMEMBER THIS GANGBANGING BOTTOM FEEDER IN ANOTHER 5 YEARS. RAPPERS RAP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN LIFE AND THERE ARE MANY FOLLOWERS WHO ARE EQUALLY STUPID THAT BUY THEIR MONKEY CHANTS THEY LABEL AS MUSIC.

I don't believe Trump's show is on anymore. And he had to pay for the airtime. Trump thinks everything he touches turns too gold but its really plated copper. Who is he to judge whether a show will be a success. Didn't he help Martha's show fail.....
Trump's an billionaire idiot

I wish people would do their research. I understand talking about some rappers but I hate when people talk about P. Diddy (Sean Combs). Please google him or something. He is college educated, he worked his way but from being an intern to being a CEO. Granted he has made stupid decisions on a personal level but business wise and intellect he is a great business man hands down. I think alot of people are just jealous.

if you are to compare 50's show to trump's it's a joke. i mean c'mon, look at the caliber of people that are competing for the 100,000 dollars and the people that were competing for a job with trump. you have a white dude with corn rows, a guy who's suit doesn't even fit him, a racist black girl, and some wanna be pachino. if you're going to invest your money in somebody 50, make sure they at least have there GED.

I think it will too, since he put that TRADER Aubrey O'Day on there. she is nothing but bad news. Plus there is no one like Jay-Z, 50 cent is corney,he is trying to mock Donald Trumps show why can't he be original, soon he will do a show like Diddys he needs to get a life.

Wow you guys have to be the most stereotyped based comments i've ever read in my life. Go listen to real rap and than come back to this. Learn something about music while you're at it. Some of you guys are so judgemental about the whole "Rap genre" wow it makes you guys just as dumb as those "dumb gangsters who didn't graduate from high school". Quit stereotyping and see that people aren't the same as you and he has more money off being a dumb rapper than you'll probably imagine. Theres nothing wrong with fifty and the show is kind of dumb. If you're gonna trash fifty talk about how he can't rap not stereotype him. Anyways I'm glad he's giving these people a chance to do something they really want to though. It's hard to get breaks in the music industry and obviously none of you realize that. So I respect him for what he's doing, not how he did it.
