G-UMOVE!

Media mogul 50 Cent departs from Interscope.

50 Cent announced that he's departed from Interscope Records.

Meaning that he's no longer associated with Eminem and Dr. Dre. The rapper was mentored through the years and managed to bring in lots of money. But now it's time for Curtis Jackson to make moves in order to eat.

50 Cent released a statement about the departure where he showed gratitude to his former bosses Dr. Dre, Eminem and Interscope head Jimmy Iovine.

"I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I'd like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity," he said in the statement. "I've learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision."

Eminem also released a statement about 50's departure and mentioned that the friendship he has with the Queens rapper will continue.

Them days are over.

"Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50′s career. Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent," Eminem said. "I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit."

50 Cent decided to tell his relationship with Eminem and Dr. Dre through FORBES Magazine.

"I'm a special case and situation," 50 Cent said.

"It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want to me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money."

He's left the label after numerous delays to his album Street King Immortal which was to be released on the Shady/Aftermath Records. A major move that came on the Friday news dump.

I guess Fiddy couldn't take it no more. Been over six years since he's released an album. Been on the label for over a decade and helped push Aftermath and Shady into the mainstream.

That comes a big surprise but not so much as a big deal.

The G-Unit capo has to make money moves. After all, he lost his core members (Lloyd Banks, Game and Young Buck). There's no talk about a G-Unit Reunion or make up sessions.

He overcame the death of Chris Lighty and Mazaradi Fox.

He feuded with Ja Rule, Rick Ross (aka Rozay), Jadakiss, Oprah, Bill O'Reilly, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Game, Young Buck, and his own son.

He's tried miserably to kiss peeping tom victim Erin Andrews, smacked up his girlfriend and had a child with a model, and still promoted his audio sound equipment.

Could 50 Cent survive the independent circuit? I mean he did survive nine slugs in him.

His movies weren't up to par. He's doing reality television. Which is pretty much at the bottom of the barrel of being a "washed up celebrity".

I mean his biggest rival, Rick Ross a "somewhat" phony gangsta managed to win the battle of who's got the biggest balls. I mean his sixth album Mastermind is coming out in March (if it's not delayed) on Def Jam through his Maybach Music Group.

There's no more G-G-G-UNIT shout outs. No more mentions of SHADY/AFTERMATH from Fiddy.

He decided to take the independent route by signing to Caroline Records which is an affiliate to Capitol EMI records.

Game also did a similar move after being dropped from Aftermath and G-Unit. He apparently signed on to the Cash Money/Young Money label.

Well are you still rocking your G-Unit spinning chain?

Are you still eating those G-Unit protein bars?
