Recently 50 Cent talked about Master P financing his first tour, in a recent interview, Master P talked about why he believed in the New York rapper.
“Nobody else believed in him. I seen the vision, like this guy’s a hard worker. He has a lot of talent. So, I’m going to put my money up to put him on tour — which is a blessing,” he said.
He continued: “Think about it. Would they say that about Jimmy Iovine or any of these other white executives? They wouldn’t say that. So, I invested in somebody I believed in. I don’t know what happened back at that time but something just happened to where I’m like, I paid him for all the shows. I didn’t know he was going to blow up and sell two million records. Nobody knew that.”
Master P says they are still good friends.
“I just thought it was a great product. I invested in it and then something happened to where we had to come back and do it. His dates wasn’t available so by time he was able to do it [tour] it worked out. That’s why we’re able to be friends today.”
