50 cent demands condoms backstage, Life has changed a lot for 50 Cent since the days when he had to watch his back on the mean streets of Queens. These days it's the 24 pieces of shrimp in his dressing room that keep the rapper on his toes. Not once, but twice he offers up the handling reminder that "SHRIMP MUST BE KEPT ON ICE." And good advice that is, since a gangsta can't survive on herbal tea, Cristal, and condoms alone.
