The normally very-muscular 50 Cent is now 50+ pounds lighter and almost unrecognizable. The dramatic weight loss is for his upcoming film Falls Apart. The movie was written by the rapper and Fiddy stars as a football player stricken with cancer.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper reportedly went on a 9-week liquid diet and spent three hours a day on a treadmill to go from 214 to 160 pounds. What did he craved while on his strict diet? Chili's baby back ribs, according to US Weekly.
Compare to a recent concert photo AFTER THE JUMP ...
I just hope he hasn't damaged himself.

He's a hideous, homophobic, ignorant, thug-acting prehistoric animal. His weight loss or even his death is not news to me. Nor is any news about gay-hating rappers news to me.

Matt Damon did something similar for a role as a heroin addicted sailor in Courage Under Fire. As long as he didn't damage his liver, he should be able to get the big bod again.

Where did all the tattoos on his upper arm go?
Were they never real in the first place? Is he covering them up with makeup in the first photo?
