Rapper wants to go into business with Wayne Rooney, with ambitious plans for a restaurant chain and a clothing empire

50 Cent wants to go into business with Wayne Rooney.

The rapper and actor believes he and the Manchester United soccer player could make £1billion together with a restaurant chain and a clothing empire.

He told the Daily Star: "I'm a big fan of Wayne Rooney, he's a brand. I want to become business partners with him. European soccer is a big business and there's money to be made with top players.

"I've met Wayne and he's a great guy. He's one of the top soccer players in the world and has a lot of years left in his career."

The 36-year-old thinks he and Wayne, 26, could make plenty of funds from the night life industry too.

He said: "I am all about making money and I know my man Wayne is as well.

"The possibilities are endless. Restaurants in Europe, clothing stores, nightclubs. Making millions is cool, but making a billion is better, and Wayne knows it!"

50 Cent has even invited the footballer as well as his wife Coleen and son Kai to visit him in Florida.

He revealed: "When Euro 2012 is over I've invited Wayne and his family to stay at my place in Miami.

"Nobody will bother them or take photos of them over here. My people will make sure of that."

The pressure to reach billion is on, 50 at the moment his networth is sitting around $440 million, Jay-Z, Puff Daddy, Kanye West and Dr Dre all are in the race to reach billion.

Cut from the same cloth if you ask me. Rooney is a bad boy. The world has only Alex Furguson to thank...until further notice!

@ 50 cent

Manchester United have promised that they will bring the 'strongest possible squad' for next month's MTN Football Invitation pre-season tour of South Africa.

The Red Devils will be in the country for a week to play AmaZulu at Moses Mabhida on July 18 and then Ajax Cape Town three days later at Cape Town Stadium.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am sure 50 Cent knows that Wayne Rooney is a property of Man United. I suppose Man United were going to give some of those who participated in the EURO 2012 a break. Now 50 percent interference may mean Man United won't release any because MAN U won't like News like MAN U in SA but Rooney is night clubing with 50 CENT.

Go for it my man, you are role model to many. I salute you and Dr.Dre especially. Keep it up, make money like Nelly.Nelly is also filthy rich from his clothing line and other businesses.
