50 Cent says visiting other countries has changed his perspective on life.
The rapper, real name Curtis James Jackson III, has performed in a number of struggling countries including Kosovo. The 35-year old says that his travels have made his upbringing seem less difficult.
“The experience of being in different places and identifying with peoples’ struggles on different levels start to shape you in a different way. When you are in third world countries, it makes what you thought was hard in the ‘hood look like you should shut up,” he said in an interview with Vibe magazine.
The American star says people are far too quick to moan about insignificant things. The artist believes that people nowadays concentrate too much on the material things in life.
“It indicates that you should be thankful. You shouldn’t complain as much. Because what you think is bad ain’t as bad as it can be. But people are self-centred. We all want things we don’t need. That’s why there will be 18 bedrooms and you can only sleep on one bed,” he added.
