50 Cent to give proceeds from headphones sales to U.S. charity

Rapper 50 Cent has confirmed that proceeds from his Sms Audio headphone range will be donated directly to help people battling hunger and starvation within the United States of America. 

The heavyweight superstar launched his Street King initiative earlier this year and explained that through the organisation he aims to "feed a billion kids" in Africa, but now wants to give back to the U.S.

Speaking to MTV News, the 'Baby By Me' hitmaker revealed his plans for the profit generated by sales of the exciting audio equipment:

"Because of my Street King initiative, with every purchase there's a meal being provided through the United Nations World Food Programme. And with this actual project, I decided I wanted to do something here in America."

"So for every pair of these headsets that are sold domestically and online through SmsAudio.com, 250 meals will be provided by Feeding America, which is our leading charitable organisation against hunger."
