He lives by the phrase “Get rich or die tryin’”.

And now 50 Cent has come up with another way of keeping the cash flowing.

He will be flogging his headphones on UK shopping channel QVC.

One step shy of setting up a market stall, the gangsta rapper will arrive in leafy Chiswick, West London, on Saturday.

Once there, he will head straight to the high-rollin’ studios to pimp out some of his cans.

Then it’s all smiles for the camera and a promise of “an offer you can’t resist – these prices are crazy low” as he attempts to part people of £150 for his SMS Audio ’phones.

They had better be really, really loud for that price.

Fiddy – real name Curtis James Jackson III – follows in the footsteps of other musical luminaries such as Alexandra Burke (selling watches) and Charlotte Church (her album) by appearing on the TV shopping TV channel.

And in another blow to his self-styled bad-boy image, an insider says the 37-year-old has been very particular about his “backstage” rider.

My well-placed source reveals: “As well as telling us to expect a huge entourage on the day, Fifty has sent through a really specific list of his requirements – he’s stressed that all the food needs to be gluten-free.” Mung bean casserole, anyone?

The Connecticut-based star – a reformed drug dealer who was shot nine times when he was younger – has obviously got a canny knack for shifting his goods on TV.

In November last year, he sold £115,000 worth of gear when he appeared on QVC America.

He tweeted at the time: “I just made $77,000 in 9 mins on QVC. Can someone hate on me so I can know this is real life.”

Haters gonna hate, man.

Still, I’m sure his estimated value of £82million is a small comfort to the In Da Club rapper when the cyber trolls rear their heads.

And who knows where this illustrious TV spot will lead him? I reckon Phillip Schofield is probably shaking in his brogues right now.
