50 Cent Reveals Who He’d Come Out Of Retirement To Collab With

In a new interview with Extra TV, 50 Cent shared what pop artist he’s been waiting to work with, and the answer might shock you: Taylor Swift. Despite being in retirement, 50 Cent says he’d love nothing more than to collaborate with the singer. That said, he understands the 35-year-old pop sensation is quite busy these days. “You got to ask her because you know how big Taylor Swift is right now? She has to have a record that sounds like it might sound good with 50,” he told the outlet.

Swift, who recently dropped off her latest album, The Life of A Showgirl, had name-dropped the rapper on the track, “Ruin the Friendship.” The song appears to be inspired by an unrequited relationship between friends in high school. “Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist/Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse,” Swift sings. “And see (mm-mm), You lookin’ at me/And it was not, an invitation/ But as the 50 Cent song played (song played)/ Should’ve kissed you anyway (anyway).”

“It really is cool because when she makes the reference, it’s to what was going on in culture at that time. The music, you couldn’t miss it,” he told Extra. “What she was making reference to is the period that no one was more prominent in music at that point.”

Earlier this month, he boasted about the shout-out on social media, writing, “@taylorswift sh*t is popping right now. She shout me out, she don’t shout you out. LOL. THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS ONLY! I’m the only shout out on the whole album.” Fif also revealed that he’s a big fan of the singer’s fiancée, NFL star Travis Kelce. “I like her boyfriend, too. I like the team, I like KC,” he said. “I do [like them together]. I like it a lot better than the last thing he had going on. It’s a lot better.”
