50 Cent is diversifying and taking some of the money he earned from his multiplatinum album releases and investing in a beverage company. Unlike his business counterparts who have invested in energy drinks and liquor businesses, the Queen’s bred rapper bought a stake in Glaceau, the company that owns the Vitamin Water drink. 50 said he drinks the product on a regular basis, since he does not drink alcoholic beverages. According to sources, 50 Cent will release his own line of drinks, a grape-flavored beverage called Formula 50. Formula 50 will retail for $1.99 and while it hasn’t been officially released, select stores in New York are testing the product. Presently, 50 Cent is recording his second album, which was originally slated to be released this summer. 50 Cent scrapped the first recording of the album, fearing he hadn’t outdone his major label debut, Get Rich or Die Trying.
