GM cancels 50 Cent G8 series truck

Just a couple of years ago 50 Cent was sitting pretty as the king of hip-hop endorsements and business deals. Now it seems like he can’t catch a break. First his MTV reality show “50 Cent: The Money and the Power” gets cancelled after just six episodes and now, General Motors is killing their partnership with Curtis for his custom G8 Series truck line.

The two-door, six-foot bed vehicle was scheduled to debut in North America in 2010. 50 first introduced the G8 sport truck last March at the New York International Auto Show. In a statement to the Associated Press, Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson stated the cancellation is part of a restructuring plan within GM due to the recession and the company’s long-term “vision for Pontiac.” To add to the recession pains, 50 still can’t even sell his house after two years. Somebody help a brotha out!
