50 Cent Chooses Abstinence in 2024: ‘Don’t Have Time to Be Distracted’

By Movieguide® Contributor

50 Cent has a “big” goal for 2024. The rapper plans to stay focused this year by practicing abstinence.

“My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level,” the rapper casually revealed on Instagram Tuesday.

His post, which shows photos of him with cigars and glasses of liquor from his alcohol brands, garnered more than 200,000 likes over 20 hours.

“For the abstinence part of his resolution, it means 50 Cent and his girlfriend Jamira ‘Cuban Link’ Haines will pull the breaks on their bedroom business. The couple, who debuted on the red carpet at the season 6 premiere of POWER in 2019, have kept their relationship very private,” Blast reported.

50 Cent’s resolution comes as a surprise for many. The rapper is known for his songs about sᴇx and explicit music videos that are heavy on nudity.

Entertainment Weekly points out that the artist did not say what he would abstain from.

“It’s entirely possible that he may soon reveal that it’s something other than sᴇx,” Entertainment Weekly said. “After all, Snoop Dogg pulled a similar stint last year when he said that he’s ‘giving up smoke,’ which turned out to be an endorsement for Solo Stove, which sells smokeless stoves and fire pits. So we might be days away from Jackson clarifying that he’s abstaining from… liquor companies that he doesn’t own, or something along those lines.”

Whatever 50 Cent abstains from, we hope it’s something that helps him embrace moral values.

Movieguide® previously reported on NFL star Russell Wilson’s abstinence journey:

Wilson married Ciara in 2016, but he understood the importance of celibacy before the couple tied the knot.

In a 2015 interview with Us Magazine, Wilson clarified his reasoning behind his counter-cultural stance on love…

“Yeah, we’re talking about sᴇx… Can we love each other without that?” he added. “If you can really love someone without that then you can really love somebody… I ain’t gonna lie to y’all now. I need y’all to pray for us. Because I know y’all have seen her on the screen now. If there’s a 10, she’s a 15. Pray for me, keep my mind clear, keep my heart clear.”
