In his typical humor, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper added that he is possibly the only one that the kids will respond to.
“The kids that won’t listen to nobody will listen to me, we come out of the same kinda confusion. This program is just gonna show them how to win.”

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, will use his nonprofit G-Unity Foundation to partner with Houston Independent School District Interim Superintendent Grenita Lathan, Horizon United Group, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Two years in the making, this program teaches business and entrepreneur skills defined by his G-Unity Business Lab at the Kashmere, Worthing, and Wheatley High Schools.
It is reported that students in the program will take MBA-level lessons to represent how to make a product from the beginning of the idea to when it hits the market.
