Rotimi, known for his breakout role as Dre in the hit series "Power", shared an intriguing story about his interactions with 50 Cent. Expressing a mix of admiration and apprehension towards the rap mogul, he recounted a vivid memory: a bystander handing 50 Cent a mixtape only for 50 to carelessly discard it out of a car window. This incident left Rotimi hesitant to reveal his own musical aspirations to 50, fearing a similar dismissal. For the first three months of working together, Rotimi kept his music career under wraps, allowing 50 Cent to gradually discover his talent without his intervention.
Rotimi also reflected on 50 Cent's multifaceted persona, praising his authenticity and leadership, noting the valuable lessons learned from him. In parallel, he compared 50 to another mentor, Jamie Foxx, who embraced Rotimi’s artistic versatility, encouraging him to pursue both acting and music. While thriving as Dre, a character audiences loved to hate, Rotimi navigated his rising fame, ultimately distinguishing himself from his on-screen alter ego.
