Twenty-eight years ago, there was no Instagram and barely any Internet.

Yet 50 Cent was able to exist.

He was just Curtis James Jackson III back then, and yesterday Fif jumped on IG and shared a throwback photo of him as 15-year old.

This is me at 15 with my man June Black. I been hustling forever. #lecheminduroi

"This is me at 15 with my man June Black. I been hustling forever. #lecheminduroi," 50 Cent typed.

28 years later, and that hustle has netted Curtis James Jackson III a very impressive collection of watches.
