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?
