50 Cent's Hitman Talk Undermines "Rap Capitalist" Image

I've long been interested in 50 Cent the businessman but I remain baffled as to why he continues to refer to his ability to hire hit men in interviews for major publications, in this case, while discussing Supreme:

Either way, he’s a wrap now, because the changes they don’t see is the financial transition. Same way the n*gga that shot me wasn’t an in-house for them—he was just a shooter. I have access to that now. I have the finances. The shooters shoot as soon as the bag is dropped. So now, either they give him life, or they let him go and I give him life. They don’t understand the difference. The first album I was trying to explain it, Power of the Dollar. They had money when I didn’t have money, so I had to take bullets.

This is the second time I've read an article in which he makes such a statement [unfortunately I don't have the other reference handy but I think it was in a VIBE cover story in '05].  Considering that I don't really read that many 50 Cent interviews, that seems like a rather glaring error on his part, especially since he disses various opponents for talking about criminal activity in public.  At the very least, it could help establish premeditation if he ever ended up in court on related charges.

Whether he considers such statements a necessary effort to sew fear in the hearts and minds of his opponents or whether he's just too angry to think straight when the topic of Supreme arises, I have no idea, but it just doesn't align well with his now well cultivated image of a legitimate "rap capitalist".
