Rapper 50 Cent, explains why he had to pull out of “The Expendables”, after Stallone announced he was replacing Forest Whitaker. The reason? 50 Cent has nothing against Stallone, he has nothing against the script or the movie itself. Sounds like 50 Cent really wanted to do the film but his rap music career pretty much forced him out of it. 50 Cent just completed his new rap album, “Before I Self Destruct” with Dr. Dre and Eminem, he realized that he doesn’t have time to film a movie.

50 Cent will probably do a lot of promoting/marketing and even tour in support of his new album. That is what forced him out of the movie. 50 Cent has been replaced by Terry Crews to play the Hale Caesar role.
