Fifty Cent - Vitamin Water Helped Him Get Fit, Pad His Wallet

Rapper Fifty Cent recently appeared on The Tyra Banks Show to talk about, among other things, weight loss and his recent deal with Vitamin Water to become a spokesperson. According to Fit Celeb, the rapper claims that weight gain on the road caused him to turn to Vitamin Water for help slimming down (yeah, a $400 million paycheck probably had nothing to do with it ... ).

Here's what 'Fitty' had to say: "I was training for my presentation for The Massacre album. I was traveling and I was eating a lot of fast food so I kind of got a little heavy. I was trying to find a substitute for soda and I came across it [vitamin water] actually in a gym in Los Angeles ... It just worked out ... I did pretty good."

Vitamin Water is definitely better for you than soda, but what's wrong with plain water? What do you think about Vitamin Water?
