50 Cent has given up sex as his New Year resolution.
The “In Da Club” rapper, born Curtis Jackson III, told fans he was pledging to focus on his goals and avoid distractions.
“My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted I’m practicing abstinence. I have been meditating and focusing on my goals,” he wrote in an Instagram post that showed him smoking a cigar and dressed in a suit.
“I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level,” he added.
In a hint his plans could include more businesses, he tagged the post with the names of his cognac brand, Branson Cognac, as well as his Champagne line, Le Chemin du Roi. His post came with a string of photos of himself wearing a suit and tie while smoking a cigar with a glass of his award-winning brandy.
“There is always another level, @bransoncognac level up @lecheminduroi,” he wrote hours later and posted a photo of himself in a bar holding a bottle of his cognac.
His fans flooded the comments section of his abstinence pledge to show their support for the rapper, with many saying “mindset” and “discipline” were the key to making big life changes and achieving goals.
“Stay focused, brother. We rooting for you out here,” one fan said.
“Executive mode, mogul moves, positive vibes only! (three fire emojis),” another advised him.
Others said they “couldn’t wait” for the unveiling of the performer’s “new idea.”
The rapper’s announcement came after rumors surfaced he and his girlfriend Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines had split. 50 Cent has been dating the aspiring corporate lawyer for at least a year.
Haines so far appears unphased by the rapper’s New Year pledge and recently posted a selfie to her Instagram Story with the caption.
“Since y’all say I never smile (If you like my smile just say that),” she wrote and also shared a selfie where she was seen smiling.
The mogul’s exes have included actor Vivica A Fox, billionaire heiress Paris Hilton and singer Ciara. He has a son, Marquise, with ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins and another boy, Sire, with model Daphne Joy.
