Coca Cola buys Glaceau
According to Allhiphop.com, Coca Cola has purchased Glaceau, the creator of the highly successful Vitamin Water franchise for $4.1 billion dollars. 50 Cent, who owns 10% of the business, will earn over $400 million dollars from the transaction.“This is an outstanding opportunity for both of our companies to build an expanded active lifestyle business, first in the United States and then around the world,” said Muhtar Kent, president and chief operating officer of The Coca-Cola Company. “Glacéau and its brands also provide us with highly attractive longer-term international opportunities. We look forward to discussing with Glacéau’s distributors and our bottling partners the best operating model for Glacéau’s routes-to-market.”
Glaceau will still maintain a majority of it’s management and 3 top executives, and will operate as a separate entity under Coca Cola’s Northern Division. This will give them the reach of the Coca Cola brand, which extends across the world.
“It’s a perfect match connecting the hottest active lifestyle brand with the full resources of the world’s best beverage company,” said J. Darius Bikoff, Glacéau founder and chief executive officer. “To best understand today’s announcement, you really need to go out, buy a bottle of Vitamin Water and try it for yourself to see how well it works.”
Completion of the transaction is expected for sometime in 2007, and will be under review by customer regulation.
50 pushes album back
In other 50 Cent news, he claims he will be pushing back his highly anticipated third album, “Curtis” from a June release date until September.“I’m an international artist,” 50 Cent said. “My fans worldwide deserve to receive my album at the same time as my fans here in the US. Taking that into consideration moving the album to September was a necessary course of action.”
The official date for the new album release is slated for September 4th.

^^ why do you hate 50? Cause he just made 400 million dollars in the blink of an eye? Damn.. stan's these days

^^^^ Hater... 50 just got 400 Mill for being a smart business man. Coca Cola = More doe for Curtis... Kinda tight over him pushin the album back but I was gonna jack it off line anyways :-p www.myspace.com/sthamogul
I'm laughing straight to the Bank with this HA HA HAHA HA!!!! --- 50 CENT
Hater comment was meant for 5poppon6droppin by the way...yeah 50 made 400 mill in the blink of an eye...dude must be a Gucci Mane fan or something... www.myspace.com/sthamogul
He might be even worth more, theres a rumor Pontiac paid him a couple million for advertising their new car set to come out in '09 in his video for "Amusement Park."
he's worth WAY more. that 400 million isn't counting all the profit he's made from tours, reebok, and his CD's...
50 Cent Album Bumped From June To September
The release date for 50 Cent's new album, "Curtis," has been bumped from June 26 to Sept. 4 to allow the artist more time to complete the tracks. So far, radio has been slow to pick up on the singles "Straight to the Bank" and "Amusement Park," which are Nos. 49 and 53 respectively on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. More... LOL GUNIT CAKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS OVER HE NOT GONE SELL 2M

Well his overall worth at the end of 06 was around 100 million, I guess he's at 500+ million.
But he be ratin though he a fat rat with alota cheese
I don't know exactly how much money this money got, if that nigga worth half a bill he gotta be one of the fatest self-made half-a-billionaires ever. I hope all them niggas who got hundreds of mills make it to a bill we need more black billionaires.
excuse the typos
Dumb little kids, the government takes nearly half of that, so he's not worth half a billion.
true, fuck high taxes when you're gettin cake. ya, the republicans have some problems of their own, but at least they don't want to tax the shit outta peeps makin over 200k a year...
damn...fuck fifty..i was lookin forward to see what shit he put out...that sucks...
50S DOIN IT big!!

damn homie... kinda looken fwd 2 the june 26th release. it has 2 be some other shit for 50 2 push his album back. i could get maybe a july release, but sept? niggas gon 4get about it by that time.... ah well...
^^^^^^NIGGAS GONNA FROGET 50'S ALBUM WITH ALL HIS MONEY 4 ADVERTISEMENT. THIS NIGGAS DUMB.
50 gettin doe.. but i guess he's gonna come out with 2 more singles before his album drops, becuhz he did mention puting out 4 singles before his album comes out.. hopfully he comes out with some hard tracks before the album drops, see what its really made of, maybe the one with akon..
That Nigga Got Money!!!
Somebody just help him bring it back to the hood...
Damn, 50's gettin money.
Him pushing his album back means more internet leaks which means less sales.. I guess at this point, he really doesn't give a fuck.. lol.
It's cool that he laughin "Straight To The Bank" with this Gleacau deal. But why he got to push the album back. The summer ain't gon be nearly as hot now, but nice of him to make way for the rest of the hot artist coming this summer (Kanye, T.I.)...but I guess his grand BET maketing plan fell through the roof.

NAAAA NOOOOO WRONG ANSWER HE PUSHED IT BACK COS PAPOOSE IS COMIN TO KILL OFF RAPPERS GO ON SAY SOMETHING ABOUT PAPOOSE GO ON AM WAITING 50 CENSE IS SHIT HE LOST HIS HOOD PRIDE ANYONE CAN BE A BUSINESS MAN
no question you gotta respect 50...wheter you hate or love his music...the man has mastered the art of corporate america. I have so much respect for his business savy. People can talk street cred, and reppin the hood all they want, at the end of the day we are all out to make money. Rappers who talk all that keepin it real stuff aint doin numbers....Im not saying you gotta forget where you came from, but making money is at the top of everyone's list!
this nigga cant stop makin money a week ago i heard the nigga ownd g-unot so every shit that has g-unot on it 50 gets the profit and plus the game can get sued if he uses the word g-unot in a wrong way, this nigga kno how to hustla.
Gotta respect Fiddy as a bussiness man no doubt. But as a lyricist, hell naw. 50 aint got shit on half these niggas in da rap game.
oh snap so its kelly vs T.I. for big sales now...Kelly dropping on the same day...SHE PROBABLY WOULDVE BEAT HIM! I aint hatin...i dont see him doing the 800 or 700...i see maybe 500 or 600,000 in that 1st week. He gone sell 3 to 4 million. Shyt its hard to sell records like diamonds again if u rappin.

50 aint got shit on half these niggas in da rap game.
i could'n disagree more...have you heard Get Rich??? ALL YOU HATERS NEED TO GO COP DAT RICH OR DIE TRYIN' (the first one) OR HIS SHIT BEFORE HE GOT SIGNED!!! and really listen to it..even the songs that hit the radio like "in da club", "wanksta" and "21 questions"...the ones we are all tired of, go lisen to them word for word i bet you'll either remeber why you liked him, or know why everybody's on his nuts... cuz he is a genious when it comes to hooks, and he knows how to pick his beats, and his LYRICS ARE DEEP... if you dont believe me just listen..thats all i gotta say I'm not sayin it no more
WTF!!!!
This means DETOX is NOT comin out in September.......I guess they all need time to count the money their makin
