Rapper 50 Cent might be hanging up the mic and retiring from the music industry.

While appearing on The Talk Friday (Jan. 28) to promote his latest Power Book series, Power Book IV: Force with Joseph Sikora, Fif gave some insight into a cryptic Instagram post that he made back in Dec. 2021, where he hinted that his next album could be his last.

“I probably think I’ll deliver another full length album and then the other things that I do will be connected to film and television in a different way,” he shared on the daytime talk show. “I’m cool; I’m having so much success in this area that I have opportunities to keep releasing music through projects that I’m bringing out.”
