50 Cent would rather be Dead??

I was on my way home from my last minute Christmas shopping and on the local Hip-Hop/R&B station 92Q Jams they discussed 50 Cent telling the media that in ways he would be more successful if he was no longer alive. I honestly think dude has lost his cookies, but i suppose he meant he would be more valuable dead and sell alot more records like Elvis or Michael Jackson. People would respect him more in his absence. I hope he doesnt think hes on that level.
