50 Cent 'Spends $1.6 Million A Year On Security'

50 Cent has revealed just how important he takes his personal safety - he spends $1.6 million every year on his security.

The rapper nearly died in 2000 when he was shot nine times, and since then Fif hasn't taken any chances when it comes to his life.

"I spend £20,000 a week on security." Says 50 Cent. "My home is surrounded by cameras. I need surveillance not only to look out for me but also to protect me."

"You get all these crazy lawsuits and I need cameras to check on things."

Earlier this week 50 Cent's new album 'Before I Self Destruct' leaked onto the internet a month before it is being released.
