50 Cent: 'I always knew I'd be rich'

50 Cent has said that he always knew he would grow up to be rich and famous.

The Get Rich or Die Tryin' star runs a successful business alongside acting in movies and forging a prosperous music career.

"I expected myself to be successful," Angry Ape quotes the rapper as saying. "Not this successful as fast, but I'm working, I'm ambitious and I'll always create new goals and challenge myself to accomplish them."

50 Cent went on to affirm that no matter what their background is, people should never let anything stand in the way of their ambitions.

"There are no excuses, if you allow yourself to let not winning be an option then you won't win," he added. "I spent a long period of time with nothing around to support my ideas but me."
