Does 50 Cent have a heroin problem?

18 November 2009 in Human Nature, Marketing, Music by Stilgherrian | 3 comments

Photograph of posters advertising 50 Cent's new album and a heroin treatment clinic with remarkably similar imagery

These two posters are currently on view on Liberty Street, Stanmore, near the railway bridge. I can’t help but think there’s some sort of connection… but what?

haha ive seen this under the bridge too, i guess having an ex-crack and heroin dealer’s rap album promotional poster right next to a advertisment for helping people who have heroin problem is somehow ironic with 50 cent’s lyrical content being based largely on describing days when he was drug dealing.

i guess its like having an advertisment of a big mac right next to that advertisment about being overweight, right?
