In the actual interview, 50 Cent remarked, “I think idle time is the devil’s time. Especially in inner cities where you got so many different distractions, so many different influences, positive and negative." He added: “They get a chance to be part of that team effort. I think it teaches them lessons that are priceless in the early stages."
It's not the first time 50 Cent has worked with the Kings' organization. His beverage company, Sire Spirits, is one of the team's official partners. The interview comes as 50 Cent prepares to embark on what could be his final tour.

50 Cent explained that his upcoming Final Lap Tour might be his last world tour during a recent post on Instagram “Because ticket sales are doing so well they’re adding new markets so the UK, North America, and possibly Australia will be in there. I gotta get to Africa, I got a lot of spots I gotta hit before I be done, because this is the Final Lap Tour. I won’t be running around like this no more," he told his fans. He added: "I gotta do my film and television stuff and got a lot of other things going on behind the scenes that I gotta work on. So I won’t be out touring as much as I’ve been touring… I’m having fun this time because it’s set up to enjoy myself, we not feeling pressure.”
