The rap mogul opened up to 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' about his single status and choice to remain celibate for the time being
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is content on his own.
In an interview on the Sept. 4 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 49-year-old rap mogul — who's reportedly nearing billionaire status — opened up about his choice to lead a celibate lifestyle and why he's never been married.
"Listen, when you calm down you can focus," said 50 Cent of his current sex-free status. "I've been good to me."
Colbert, 60, wondered why the "In da Club" artist would want to continue accumulating money without a special somebody to spend his cash on.
"[Money is] when things start getting complicated, things start getting confusing," explained 50 Cent, "‘cause people come in for different reasons."
"If you go on a date but you have no interest in anything, I can see you now. I said, ‘God damn, girl, you fine, but you ain’t got nothing going on," he continued.

The Grammy winner added that romantic desire "absolutely" clouds judgment for "most men," before discussing his unmarried status.
"I am safe. I’m not a happy hostage. I’m here. I’m free," said 50 Cent with a laugh. "I made some mistakes, just not that one."
Without a romantic partner in his life, the Get Rich or Die Tryin' actor discussed spending his days in the gym — and revealed he "can get to about 105 pounds on dumbbells."

The talk show host then predicted 50 Cent's usual evening activities: "just going home, watching Wheel of Fortune on TiVo, having a warm milk and going to bed, putting on your night shirt and cap."
The rapper replied, "You make it sound like the worst thing ever."
Explaining the motivation behind his joke, Colbert admitted he just wants to see 50 Cent find love. "I want someone I can love in my life too, just not right now," responded the "Candy Shop" artist. "I’m fine."
