    50 Cent's real name is Curtis. Who does he say still calls him that?

    Question #108935. Asked by KATE2480. (Sep 18 09 4:38 AM)

    		He adopted the nickname "50 Cent" as a metaphor for "change". The name was derived from Kelvin Martin, a 1980s Brooklyn robber known as "50 Cent". Jackson chose the name "because it says everything I want it to say. I'm the same kind of person 50 Cent was. I provide for myself by any means".

    Does anyone still call him by his birth name?

    "My grandmother," he admits with a blush, "right when she wants me to take out the garbage!"
