Relationships are not one size fits all, and marriage isn't for everyone, including 50 Cent.
The rapper, born Curtis Jackson, stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday (September 4) where he opened up about his decision to not get married. When Colbert asked why 50 Cent would want to continue accumulating wealth when he doesn't have a significant other to spend it on, he said that's exactly what can cause issues when dating, per People.
[Money is] when things start getting complicated, things start getting confusing," he said, adding that "people come in for different reasons. If you go on a date but you have no interest in anything, I can see you now. I said, 'God damn, girl, you fine, but you ain't got nothing going on."
The "Candy Shop" artist also said that "most men" are "absolutely" clouded by their romantic desire, while he is "free" from that kind of distraction.
"I am safe. I'm not a happy hostage. I'm here. I'm free," he said, laughing. "I made some mistakes, just not that one."
Colbert told 50 Cent that he hopes he can find love and a special someone in his life, which the musician said he isn't opposed to necessarily. It's just not what he's looking for "right now."
"I want someone I can love in my life too, just not right now," he said. "I'm fine."
The "In da Club" rapper also spoke about his decision to be celibate and how it has helped him concentrate on building a stronger relationship with himself.
"Listen, when you calm down you can focus," he said. "I've been good to me."
