50 Cent Looks to Apple for Inner-city Mac Deal
by , 10:30 AM EDT, June 19th, 2006
Popular rap star, 50 Cent, is negotiating with Apple in hopes of producing an affordable home computer for inner city residents. The rapper and Chris Lightly, are creating a foundation for inner-city families, and are looking for an inexpensive computer option for lower income buyers.
According to AllHipHop News, 50 Cent went to Apple and Steve Jobs because of similar interests. Mr. Lightly commented "He [Jobs] is setting a new standard in the music business. Let's just say we get each other."
There is no word on the status of the negotiations, or what an ultra-low cost Mac would include.
Apple was not available for comment.
