50 Cent is going to publish an anti-bullying book called 'Playground'
RnB/Hip Hop | Tuesday 21st June 2011 | Osh
The superstar gangster rapper 50 Cent has revealed he is writing a semi- autobiographical novel about a bully teenager of 13 years old who is forced to face his actions. Determined to adopt the author credo “write what you know”, this novel is based on events from Curtis James Jackson III’s life and is written in the first person.
50 Cent explained his reasoning "I had a strong desire to write Playground because I wanted to explore how a kid becomes a bully. I drew on events from my own childhood and adolescence, but was excited to see the story take on its own life. This book would have been very helpful for me growing up and now that I have a teenage son, it is my goal that this will have a positive influence on all teenagers."
According to Rolling Stone, the book should be published by Razorbill and come out in January 2012.
