Rumours are flying around the interwebs over photos that have surfaced purporting to be of Curtis Jackson, AKA 50 Cent. Supposedly he’s been on a gruelling diet and exercise regime in order to lose weight to play a cancer victim in film Things Fall Apart. Reports suggest he’s lost 25 kilos to play the part of an American footballer in the film he co-wrote with Mario Van Peebles. Some fans have questioned the authenticity of the pictures, saying that it can’t be him because he has no tattoos in the photos, however, Fiddy supposedly told another source that he had had his tatts removed to cut down on the time he needed to spend in make up each day.
