50 cent joined FOX Sports Radio in Los Angeles to talk about his dramatic weight loss for a recent movie role, who he's rooting for in the NBA Finals and why the Grammy judges are scared of him.

50 Cent on how much weight he lost during the film project:
"I started at 214 [pounds] for the first half of the film, then I went away for nine weeks and came back at 160 to finish the screen play."

50 Cent on whether he's conflicted about this year's NBA Finals by the fact that two Lakers (Odom and Artest) are from Queens:
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm kind of an LA guy now that we got both of them out there on the same team. And their contributions are completely different to the Los Angeles Lakers' success at this point. But Ron-Ron, his defense ain't no joke; and Lamar has been doing his thing. So I've been following them consistently because we came from the same area. I mean, I watched Lamar Odom play basketball in I.S.8 long before he was even in the league, and I got a chance to see Ron-Ron in Queensbridge, so periodically we get a chance to get on the phone and talk a little bit, and they're both excited. They want some rings."

50 Cent on why he thinks he's been unable to win a Grammy, despite being nominated 16 times:
"Nah, it's the aggression. Because I chose to write the harsh reality, you know, the conservative members of that board, they denied me the actual trophy at that point with fear that their kids would maybe want to be 50 Cent as opposed to just appreciating what the music is. Obviously their kids are playing the music in their actual bedroom, but they're just afraid they're going to want to be 50 Cent."
