There’s no reliable record that 50 Cent actually said “No man should stress himself to give a girl a Christmas gift. Be extra stingy.” That specific phrasing doesn’t show up in verified interviews or quotes. But the rumor makes sense in the context of how people perceive him online — especially because former partners have described him as very tight with money.
One viral claim from an ex-girlfriend (not officially confirmed by 50 Cent himself) said she broke up with him after asking for $10,000, and alleged he was extremely stingy with gifts and money during their relationship.
So the quote itself seems more like internet hearsay or exaggeration than something he actually said publicly but it fits the reputation and memes that people have shared about him online.
