50 Cent launches condom line

Yahoo! Music, Jan 10, 2007 3:00 pm PST
50 Cent is planning to launch a line of condoms.

The news has emerged during the promotional campaign for the three novels he has co-written about his life in the G-Unit crew.

"The kids become immune when you constantly beat them over the head" 'Read a book, read a book.' We have to be a little more creative about it," he told the New York Post. "It's the same with safe sex. As opposed to being part of a safe-sex campaign, I'm going to make condoms and donate a part of the proceeds to HIV awareness."

Fiddy's novels, Death Before Dishonor, Baby Brother, and The Ski Mask Way, were written in association with Nikki Turner and K. Elliott and will be available this month.
