50 Cent is working as if he were broke and partying like a billionaire. And while, for the record, he didn’t dis Paris Hilton at her own birthday party, as far as some of his peers go, the G-Unit general isn’t being as generous.”There’s no way they gonna survive me,” 50 said Monday (February 4) at his G-Unit offices.
