U.S. Rapper 50 Cent is looking for business partners from Africa, to be the sole distributors of his energy drink SK in their respective countries.
His intention is to choose a partner in every country in Africa, to work closely with him on marketing and selling the brand in their respective state.
SK, which stands for Street King, is an energy drink developed by the musician and businessman to not only provide a body boost, but also raise cash for starving populations in Africa.
“Giving back to hungry children with every shot we sell is only part of the story. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel across Africa, and one thing I’ve learned is that it is filled with vibrant, young entrepreneurs who are eager to cultivate a sustainable business sector that will fuel growth for their future.
That’s why I’m giving African entrepreneurs the chance to bring SK to their country,” said the rapper in a statement.
50 Cent recently visited Somalia and Kenya, where he toured schools in Somalia and Kibera slum Nairobi.
“Everyone thought that we would expand immediately to Europe or South America. But if you know SK, you know the vision has always been to support my roots in Africa,” he said.
“I’ve had so much interest coming from Africa since I’ve launched SK. That’s why I’m opening up submissions to entrepreneurs across the continent to become distribution partners.”
