50 Fears For America's Middle Class In Recession

Rapper-turned-businessman 50 Cent fears the recession will wipe out the middle classes of America.


The hitmaker has took a fiscal beating in the ongoing economic crisis, but he's worried for those who don't have his millions in the bank.


The smart-talking In Da Club rapper tells King magazine, "The Unites States is the place to do business, so if it's bad here, where do you go?


"We may lose our middle class. If you have $20,000 in stocks invested in different areas, a home that you actually want to live in and a car, that's middle class. So those people who had stocks in GM (General Motors) like I had (are in trouble).


"My (broker) from (finance firm) Goldman Sachs just got laid off. (If) the guy you got assisting you... is having issues, then you really got to look into it."
