By Ismael AbduSalaam General Motors Corporation has confirmed today (January 7) plans to cancel the Pontiac G8, a 50 Cent sponsored sport truck.
The two-door, six-foot bed vehicle was scheduled to debut in North America in 2010.
50 Cent first introduced the G8 sport truck last March at the New York International Auto Show.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson stated the cancellation is part of a restructuring plan within GM due to the recession and the company's long-term "vision for Pontiac."
Furthermore, Hopson clarified that the canceled truck does not change production plans for other G8 vehicles. http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2009/01/07/20782057.aspx
The latest setback for 50 comes as MTV canceled the mogul's high-profile reality show 50 Cent: The Money and the Power.
Citing listless ratings, the network cut the show after just six episodes and has declined to green light a second season.
50 will be moving forward with the release his fourth studio album Before I Self-Destruct, which is now scheduled for February 3 release. |

The power of branding. Just because a shoe has the name Jordan on it doesn't mean its a better shoe than the one sitting next to it with the name Fila.
