50 Cent

Sha Money XL was on the front line managing the G-Unit brand before 50 Cent and the Unit hit main stream. He has paid his dues in the music business and has since moved on from working for 50 but still remains close ties to the homie that gave him his start.

SOHH caught up with former G-Unit associate to get an update on his current relationship with 50 Cent’s camp.

Sha, now the Senior VP of A&R at Def Jam, also took a moment to reflect on ex-Unit members Young Buck and Game.

“I speak with Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and 50 Cent at least two times a week just on some friendship,” Sha said about keeping in contact with G-Unit. “Those are my homeboys, like, we family. So it ain’t always about business or money, it’s just checking on a n*gga, you know what I mean? I never turned cold on my n*ggas, I’m not that kinda dude even if I ever had a difference with Fif, the world would never see that sh*t because I ain’t built on those kinds of things.

So all that bullsh*t, like, I respect Buck in a sense of him just being my n*gga, but, when you leave a crew just because your business decisions wasn’t right for you, you can’t just de-character the man that helped you become the man that you are.

I tip my hat off to 50 because he helped a lot of real n*ggas get money and a lot of artists that came up, Banks is chilling, Yayo is chilling, Buck was chilling, I don’t know where he at right now but he was good. Even Game, that’s why he was called ‘Hurricane,’ because he was riding that G-Unit wave, where’s that sh*t at now? Those guys still make those records and obviously it’s not the same quality of music so had he still been on G-Unit, I think he would be on fire right now. That sound, ‘Hate It Or Love It,’ you can never make that record again. I just don’t do the turn love and then turn cold a n*gga and get crazy with him in public type of thing. That sh*t is for cowards and n*ggas that just want attention, I don’t do that.” (SOHH)

Sha also updated SOHH on what the Unit has been up to as of late.

“Banks’ album is the one coming this year,” Sha said about the rapper’s upcoming Hunger For More 2. “50’s filming movies, man, that motherf*cker is about to be the next Tyler Perry yo. He’s coming out with movies that ‘he’ produced, his company. That sh*t is real, not that little Master P one, two movie sh*t, like real movies man. He’s gonna be in Forbes again, Tyler Perry’ing it with movies for right now, he’s studying, writing, he’s doing movies right now. Yayo has been in Detroit doing a movie with Benny Boom, he’s getting into the acting thing too, he’s expanding his career, he’s got some other things coming, a clothing line in the works, Yayo is doing his one-two. He’s staying busy man.”(SOHH)
