50 Cent has never been one to hold his tongue. This time, he's spilling the beans on R&B singer Jeremih, who Fif says was about to be dropped from the Def Jam roster until he lent his vocals to Jeremih's hit single "Down On Me." "They was counting Jeremih out completely," the controversial rapper told Angie Martinez in an interview on NYC's Hot 97 radio station (April 4). "He was definitely gonna be in a position where he was getting dropped, because the first week's sales was really low on the record. 50 said that his decision to jump on the record was an artistic one. "I thought he was a dope artist, so I said I'ma do it." "I had a good time with this one right here," said 50, before going on to hint that his contribution to the song helped get it to the number one slot. The song has spent weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.

Who will save YOUR career, 50?

Chelsea Handler.

50 Cent is not the reason Down On Me is doing so well, believe me

What are those sales for Before i Self Destruct again?

Down on Me is doing well because it's a catchy club song, not because 50 cent has fans to go support him

Gwarl...this queen!

A flop saving another flop? Yeah, I find that hard to believe. Either way, that song is doing nothing for that man's album.

15 Cent is irrelevant & so is Jeremih.. so why does he think this? He made it seem like it's not hard to get a hit in todays market LOL.

The song isn't going to be remembered whatsoever.

No brainer there, low album sales, no digital single sales prior to down on me = being released from the label. Considering 50 cent former employ is vice president of Def Jam, I assume this information to be legit.


Why do you people hate 50 cent ?

Curtis is talking like his career isn't in the pits too. You give yourself way too much Ms. Jackson!

What connection does 50 have to Def Jam?

Did 50 Cent have any of these things with his last album?

My mistake, president of A&R at def jam, and chris lighty his manager is rumored to be appointed as the new president of Def Jam to replace L.A Reid.

The album still went gold, so I don't see a problem there, It's not like he won't be able to make a comeback if he settles his differences with jimmy iovine so the label can have its full support, and in the past 3 years only 5 rappers went plat, that includes jay-Z, eminem, drake, nicki,kanye.

**** yall. I love this song.

i really don't get the 50 Cent hate in here

he's one of the most successful rappers of all time, and it's not like his last album failed to sell much, it went gold

and yes he definitely helped the song, not trying to disregard Jeremih's own touch on it, and 50 also helped him so much promoting it, he paid for the 3D video, and made that youtube video with that little kid!!

hopefully it enters Top 10 iTunes already

UMMM he aint save **** if anything j saved his ass

can he save his own?? seriously people dun be delusional! what was his own last hit???? hmmmm 2007?

Oh 50

I honestly can't tell the difference between him and Jerimah on that track.

Too bad he couldn't save his own career...

Let him save his career first.
