I think the reason 50 Cent really likes Hang W/ is because at the end of the day it’s real and it can’t be faked.

It’s a social media that hasn’t existed yet and has the ability to connect people on a whole new level. I think he really saw that when he was exposed to it. When we started working on Hang W/, we were really looking into a lot of our clients who were celebrities and musicians and actors and athletes and we building apps for those people.

A lot of them felt social media was getting ruined by fake Twitter and people buying followers and social media teams pretending to be the people behind the accounts.

Hang W/ was built to become the antithesis of that. You can’t hire social media teams to pretend you’re streaming live when you really aren’t. As an endorser of a product, as a marketer, it’s easy to tweet, “I drink and use this product,” but to be able to actually incorporate this into your actual lifestyle in a way that if you use it, you really use it. You don’t have to force it and make people think you drink a particular type of soda.

It’s there as a part of your life.

That was pretty much the central thesis behind this platform. It was to create this authentic social media that couldn’t be faked. I think that’s what 50 recognized. From what I’ve seen and what I know, that’s the type of thing that really excites him.
