If there’s one thing 50 Cent values above all others, it’s loyalty.

In a recent TikTok video, Atlanta Hawks owner Jesse Itzler stated as much.

According to reports, 50 Cent puts a clause in his contracts stating that he will only fly with Marquis Jet.

It turns out that Itzler owns a lot of businesses, including the private jet industry.

This act by 50 Cent may be intended to express gratitude to Itzler for recruiting him as an intern in the 1990s.

According to Complex, before launching his successful music career, the American rapper worked as an intern at Itzler’s music marketing agency, Alphabet City Sports Records.

“I have this kid who’s a boxer, who wants to be a rapper, but he wants to get some business experience,” Itzler recalled in the TikTok video.

“So we made a deal that he would intern for me for whatever experience I could give him, and in exchange, he’d help me write these jingles that I was doing at the time.”

Itzler then went on to explain how their relationship resumed – and grew.
