US rapper/hip-hop star Curtis James Jackson III – aka 50 Cent – has admitted that he’s “addicted to success”, and is determined to become an even bigger star, both critically and financially.

Appearing on MTV, the “Get  Up” rapper/actor revealed that his many entrepreneurial projects have created a “healthy” competitiveness in him, although the 33-year-old says he needs to get a better work/life balance. Forbes magazine estimated Fiddy’s previous financial year earnings at a whopping AUS$223 million, earning mostly thanks to deals such as his Reebok ‘G-Unit’ sneakers, clothing lines, arrangements with Playstation 2 and partial ownership of vitamin water drink Glacéau (which was bought by Coca-Cola for over one billion dollars).

“I've had a lot of success, and I plan on having a lot more,” says Fiddy, who also revealed he pushed back the release date of latest LP Before I Self Destruct to try and avoid massive losses on the financial market. “I feel like I'm a work in progress, and if I'm honest with you, I'm a junkie. I'm addicted to success. There's no rehab for success, or I'd go check in right now.”
