Is 50 Cent secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

50 Cent is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-actor-business man 50 Cent (Candy Shop, In da Club, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Jackson, a cultural icon

Born Curtis Jackson in New York on July 6, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Jackson's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a very charming man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Curtis hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for 50 Cent as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, Curtis, you're the best!
