50 Cent plans to revive unreleased songs using artificial intelligence after dropping retro-style AI versions of some early 2000s hits.
50 Cent leaned into artificial intelligence and nostalgia on Tuesday (October 7) by sharing retro-styled AI remakes of his classic tracks and promising to release unheard songs using the same technology.
The Queens-born mogul posted two AI-generated “1960s soul” versions of his hits “21 Questions” and “God Gave Me Style” on Instagram, giving both tracks a vintage makeover.
“Now this s### is hot [fire],” he wrote in the caption for the reimagined “21 Questions. “I’m a use AI on all my unreleased songs and see what I got for ya!
He followed up with the soulful rendition of “God Gave Me Style,” adding, “This feels good [too], WTF going on now, this version lets you see my vision. It’s softer!”

The AI-powered remixes arrived just weeks after a fan-made version of “Many Men” — also revamped in a 1960s soul style — went viral online. The track drew praise for its inventive arrangement and even caught the attention of Joe Rogan, who called it “the best thing I’ve ever heard” during a podcast segment.

Timbaland, a longtime collaborator and vocal AI supporter, dropped fire emojis in 50 Cent’s comments.
The super-producer has been pushing AI boundaries himself, launching the entertainment tech company Stage Zero in 2025.
The venture introduced TaTa, a fully AI-generated artist created in partnership with the music platform Suno. Timbaland serves as a strategic advisor and public face for the project.
While some in the industry have embraced AI’s role in reshaping music, others remain skeptical.
Critics argue that AI-generated artists and tracks risk devaluing human creativity and reducing music to algorithmic mimicry. Online debates have intensified, with many claiming projects like TaTa are more about chasing trends than pushing artistry forward.
In response to backlash, Timbaland doubled down on his AI ambitions, sharing animated videos that mocked critics — a move that stirred even more controversy.
50 Cent, who has previously used AI-generated images to troll rivals like Diddy and Joe Budden, seems unfazed by the growing ethical debate. Instead, he appears ready to dig into his vault and breathe new life into unreleased material using AI tools.
