50 Cent has revealed that his role as a drug dealer in the new movie Twelve was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his youth.
The rapper-turned-actor, who sold drugs as a teenager in New York, admitted that his character in the drama was "darker" than he had been in real life.
He told The View: "It's a totally different experience for me because I've been away from that for a very long time. In this actual project, the character's actually darker. I've never done anything with those motivations.
"There's a scene in the actual film where he's excited to trade the drugs for a woman's virginity. That's darker than anything I've experienced... Well, I mean just my motivation. I didn't come there to actually hurt anyone. It was just what the environment provided for me without any requirements... Like, they don't say, 'You need a masters [degree] to be a drug dealer'. Everyone's eligible. You have two hands [and] two feet... Run, the cops are coming."
Twelve is released in US cinemas on August 6. As of yet, no UK date has been announced.
