50 Talks Power In Complex

50 Cent shows off his ads in an ad for his new cologne “Power”, a creation of his new Lighthouse beauty company. Via Complex:

Why the name Power?
Power is confidence. The confidence to deliver your answer when you are in a board meeting is what will allow you to move up faster. The confidence to be yourself in front of people creates a separation. The people that you saw speak ahead of me at this event had to read their paper that people prepared for them. I didn’t, my confidence will allow me to do things my way and help people make a decision. People will like the idea of me just being me.

Do you think your fragrance will sell better than those by Jay-Z, Diddy, and Usher?
I don’t think it matters. I think it will be there as a representative of what I feel like is quality right now. People can decide. The consumers will decide that. If I said something to the likes of me feeling like I would be more successful than those other projects, it might turn some of them off. So I wouldn’t answer that question. I’d leave that to them to judge.

I just know that you are competitive with your music
Yeah, but not with everything. You can’t be that way. The competitive nature of hip-hop culture has always had battling involved with it. So you battle with the other artist but not necessarily in business and everywhere else

In other news, 50 Cent feels as though Kelly Rowland would have been more successful than Beyonce if she was given equal treatment. Peep what he had to say below:

You can’t forget all the work she did with Destiny’s Child. The difference between Kelly and Beyonce is the extreme focus they put on Beyonce to make sure she was completely right. Kelly wasn’t held in the same regard, so, in order for her to mean anything to America, they’d have to match the marketing dollars spent on Beyonce. She never received the superstar treatment
