50 Cent reworked his classics into soulful throwbacks using artificial intelligence and stood firm when critics pushed back on the digital makeover.

The bold reinterpretations sparked a wave of online responses—some applauding the creativity, others calling the project “tacky and lame.”

Still, 50 Cent made it clear he’s not backing away from the tech. “I really like those songs!” he told Complex. “Look, it will reach someone that I missed. Someone who couldn’t hear what I was trying to say to them in the writing can hear it now that it’s in that format. They’ll go, ‘Oh, yo! Play that again!’”

50 Cent praised the AI-generated vocals, saying, “I don’t know where AI got these voices from, but these are some good voices! If these guys came out in that time period, they would have been competition for the guys that were there.”

As the music industry wrestles with AI’s growing influence, 50 Cent is leaning into it. “I don’t like fighting fights that I can’t win, I don’t think you can beat AI,” he said. “I think we need to look at how do we create business that work well with it and performs faster and progresses as [AI] progresses because it’s not gonna stop progress.”



His stance comes as artists like Kehlani voice concern over AI’s impact on creative integrity, while others, including Gunna, see it as the future. Producer will.i.am has even floated the idea of AI-generated Verzuz-style battles between rap legends like Jay-Z and Black Thought.
