Curtis James Jackson III, or more popularly known as 50 Cent, may have had a shady past and a controversial present tagged to his name but this does not mean he's all bad. His current negotiation with Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs is enough for us to at least give him the benefit of the doubt.

According to Forbes, 50 Cent is in talks with the Apple chief so he can put affordable home computers in the hands of inner-city residents. The rapper reveals, "I'm creating a foundation that will be around for a long time, because fame can come and go or get lost in the lifestyle and the splurging. I never got into it for the music. I got into it for the business."

The now infamous rapper is amongst the richest celebrities, having over $67M under his name in the year 2005 for record sales and branding deals (sneakers, video game, and G-Unit clothing line).
