there is no connection except big von is a radio personality that gets paid to interview artists who pay to get interviewed, he also gets paid to play artists that pay to get their music played, 50 cent has a lot of money to spend on such things because he publicly announced he would quit rapping if kanye west outsold him, he has to go out and promote so that people will buy his album and all his endorsements and sponsors and businesss relationships see that he is still relevant and influential, and even if he doesn't have more fans go out and buy his album over kanyes album its ok, 50 can just buy a few hundred thousand of his own album so he beats out kanye on scans and then he can go back to his house in conneticut and count his money for another year or so...the money from music to 50 is completely irrelevant to him, he just needs to maintain his top position so all his other bigger money ventures stay in motion.
