When Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson talks about giving back, he doesn’t just mean words — he means action. The rap icon, mogul, and TV powerhouse has announced an inspiring new initiative to fight homelessness in the very place that shaped him: Queens, New York City.

At a press conference earlier this week, 50 Cent revealed that he’s donating $5 million — the full sum of his recent tour and sponsorship earnings — to build a series of homeless support centers throughout Queens. The project will feature 150 micro-homes and 300 shelter beds, providing warm, safe spaces for individuals and families struggling to find stability.

“I’ve seen too many people in my hometown struggling to get through cold nights without a roof over their heads,” 50 said with emotion. “I promised myself that if I ever had the chance, I’d help. No one should have to sleep outside in the cold.”

The new centers, designed with modular housing units and community resources, will offer more than just beds. Each facility will include access to career counseling, mental health support, and job training programs — a full-circle effort to help residents rebuild their lives.

City officials have praised the initiative, calling it a “transformative act of compassion” that could inspire other high-profile figures to reinvest in their communities.

For a man who built an empire from humble beginnings, this move is deeply personal. From hustling in South Jamaica to topping the charts and conquering Hollywood, 50 Cent’s story has always been one of reinvention and resilience.

Now, his latest chapter is one of hope.

“Queens made me who I am,” he said, smiling. “It’s only right I return the love.”

Urban Pulse Magazine will continue following 50 Cent’s housing project as construction begins — a powerful reminder that success means more when it lifts others up.
