Two Five says success has changed 50 Cent - Entertainment - Music - TODAY.com
"The world knows his cousin, but he just wants people to recognize him.
Two Five or 25 real name Michael Francis is the latest rapper to come out of Southside Jamaica, Queens. He just so happens to be the cousin of multi-platinum rapper 50 Cent.
While many would think having an older cousin who is on top of the rap game guarantees you instant success, think again.
In fact, there have been reports in which 50 and his representatives have denied that the two are related.
The two are legitimate first cousins, said the 22-year-old prodigy, who says they grew up in the same house their grandmothers.
However, now the two cousins, who once ran the streets together and were so close that neighborhood friends referred to them as brothers, dont speak to one another.
Its been three or four years since their last conversation, said Two Five, who was given the name 25 Cent as teenager hanging around his cousin.
Two Fives flow may sound similar to 50, but he remains unsigned and is working on his debut project, which he will release independently some time next year if he isnt signed. He has also completed a DVD that takes you through his home in Queens and chronicles his dedication to making music. He has not seen 50s movie, nor does he have an interest to.
Though Two Five believes part of the reason 50doesnt want to help him is because he doesnt want him to inherit his beef, he is determined to make it, even if it means he has to do it on his own.
AP: Do you consider 50 Cent to be a mentor to you?
Two Five: Yeah, he is. He will always be that. I dont look at dude as my big cousin, thats my brother. He raised me and did things for me when nobody else would, so I cant never turn my back on him for that.
AP: Whats the relationship between you and 50 Cent right now?
Two Five: There is no relationship. Im doing me and Im handling my own business. I dont know how he feels, thats something somebody would have to ask him. My relationship with him, to my knowledge, is, stay on your side of the street, Ill stay on mine. I feel like I dont need him.
AP: What was the last conversation that you had with 50 Cent like?
Two Five: It was an argument. It was yelling and screaming. I think when people get a little money they really dont show their true colors. But when you get big money and youre in a different tax bracket, you start to feel yourself more than your supposed to, you get cocky.
AP: So you think hes gotten cocky and the money and all the success has changed him?
Two Five: I think hes lonely and bitter. I think hes that way because there is nobody around you to share your love with. Youre making all that money just to have 15 security guards, two trucks and nobody around you that really cares for you. And when all your money is gone and there is nobody else there for you, you gotta come back to family and thats even if well accept you.
AP: Does 50 Cent give back to his family?
Two Five: Nah, he dont give back to his family not one bit. Hes supposed to take care of my grandmother and my grandfather because they took care of him. I dont think he wants to put that situation out there. His whole excuse for not bringing me on is, Its dangerous, people trying to hurt me, people trying to do that to me, and the closest thing to me is you. And thats true, but my whole thing is why you are bringing the camera crews around the same house you know your family is still in. All that money you got you cant help your family get out of the hood. Maybe not even me, but you do have cousins who have children and aunts who got bills. But you buying your homeboy a hundred thousand dollar chain.
AP: Is it true that 50 Cent is not acknowledging you as his cousin?
Two Five: I think it would be wise for him to try and prevent me from getting out because lyrically I am better than him. I think the best thing for him to do is to just not say anything about me, whether they acknowledge me or not I see you at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I still see you when you come to the house, whether you want the world to know or not. My whole thing with 50 is he just does stuff that makes him look like a hypocrite. In one article youll say, Yeah, thats my cousin. Hes a fraud, hes this, hes that. Then in another article youll say, I dont know him. Then youll say, I dont break peace with nobody, it is what it is. But, yet you kissing Game on the cheek at a press conference. And you cant talk to your family?"
