50 cent sells his audio line on QVC

Hip Hop artist 50 cent, real name Curtis Jackson, has appeared on QVC to sell headphones from his new SMS Audio range.

The rapper featured on a segment of the US shopping network, and successfully sold almost $200,000 worth of headphones. In 9 minutes, the rapper turned salesman and sold £115,615 of the headphones priced at £157 each.

The earphones are named ' STREET by 50 over-the-ear wireless headphones', and 50 cent has stressed the importance of his audio range to have "the ability to only be associated with high quality products". He also explained his high level of involvement with the production of his range, setting himself apart from artists purely using using their name to boost sales.

Following the show, 50 cent tweeted:  "I just made 177,000 dollars in 9min on QVC.can some one hate on me so I can know this is real life.#SMSaudio (sic)."
