Coca-Cola's $4 billion purchase of Glaceau's Vitamin Water has been a minor talking point in a rather stagnant hip-hop world for the past few days, with a sticking point coming in the form of exactly how much was personally pocketed in the deal by rapper and Vitamin Water spokesman Curtis (50 Cent) Jackson. Estimates have ranged anywhere up to $400 million dollars in net profit for the rapper.
However, a spokesperson for Energy Brands responds "While 50 Cent and many other world re-known celebrities have very lucrative and fruitful partnerships with our brand, any report stating personal figures of ownership in our company are erroneous at this time. Glaceau and Mr. Jackson have a deal in place that grants him partial ownership in his own brand. Both parties remain excited about the future of our relationship."
Meanwhile, executives at Interscope, the record label that 50 Cent is contracted to, are said to be highly disappointed at the lack of public interest in his latest singles "Straight To The Bank" and "Amusement Park". This is rumored to be a contributing factor in his latest LP entitled Curtis being delayed until September. 50 himself is said to be frustrated at the turn of events and is looking to salvage the situation. Reps for Interscope could not be reached.
