Hip-hop mogul 50 Cent will continue to expand his empire with a foray into the world of comedy.
Having already established himself as a force within the film and entertainment communities, with diverse and wide-ranging interests that include technology companies, G-Unit clothing line and website, ThisIs50.com, the Queens MC is now attempting to launch a new comedy site.
Though content is scant from ThisIs50, the garish and unwieldy site is halfway live at ThisIs50Comedy.com.
The site's proper launch will take place on Thursday (April 28), and will feature the debut of 50's comedy show -- dubbed 'This Is 50 Comedy Show.' The show will be taped in front of a live audience in the Times Square Arts Center in New York City, and will be streamed live online.50 Cent Launches Comedy Site

The show will be hosted by ThisIs50 standout Young Jack Thriller, star of ThisIs50's popular 'So Disrespectful' series, and will return on the last Thursday of each month, bringing the site's subscribers "the cutting-edge humor of the nations [sic] funniest comedians."
Access to the show will cost $2.99, the proceeds of which will go towards Japan's relief fund.

Yeah cause he is just SO hilarious. Not. The only joke is how much his career has fallen

At least he is doing the site for a good cause. The price is worth it.
