50 Cent Defends ‘Get Rich’ Posters

50 Cent turns a blind eye to all the controversy surrounding his ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ movie posters, citing that the poster is merely a marketing tool. “When you go to a Blockbuster or a local video store where you can rent DVDs or cassettes, you’ll be able to find hundreds and hundreds of references to weapons used on the covers to market the actual film, and nobody had a problem with any of them until they see 50 Cent with a gun because there are different standards based on music. If you went into a music store, you wouldn’t find many CDs distributed through a major record company that had those images, so I understand why they’re saying those things but it’s absolutely nonsense,” he explained to Reuters.
