New York rapper 50 Cent‘s not about making his “Get The Strap” video extra kid-friendly even if it means losing out on millions of views. The G-Unit boss admitted he turned down a censorship request from TV giant BET Networks.
This past weekend, Curtis Jackson went to Instagram to admit his intent on keeping the visual street outweighed going the TV-friendly route.
