50 Cent: 'I don't think I'll retire'

50 Cent has admitted that he doesn't think he will retire.

Speaking to The Independent, the rapper explained that he will not limit himself to a music career.

"I don't think I'll retire," he said. "I think you should look forward to me going behind the scenes more. I still have a passion for music. And the music business itself has changed."

He continued: "If you can't figure out how to develop the brand extension and opportunities that allow you to build up the marketing dollar, I don't see how you can continue to be a superstar."

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, added that he is excited about working on his upcoming movie projects.

"For me, it's an opportunity," he said. "I wrote the screenplays. Before I Self Destruct - that was the first one I wrote and directed. I hate to say it's not my best, but it was done on a budget and that makes it not as... extravagant as some of the things you'll see from me in the future.

"But since then I've created two other projects. Gun, I wrote that screenplay, and I wrote and produced a film called Love Me, Love Me Not. So I'm looking forward to a lot of different things."

50 Cent recently revealed that he is planning to make a dance album.
