Forget the debt crisis—the deal the world has really been waiting to get hammered out is one step closer to reality, as Pauly D confirms his impending three-album contract with 50's cent's G-Unit label. And he's making custom headphones, too!
Although rumors of the unlikely partnership have been swirling since spring, Pauly's kept his mouth shut until now, finally telling XXL that the deal will be sealed by the end of the year. “50 Cent has also been somebody I look up to. We ended up linking up and we just clicked. We hit it off immediately with the music and everything like that. So, I’m definitely gonna be working with him. There’s been talks about the album and the headphones. I’m looking forward to working with that as well," he said, and the world breathed a collective sigh of happy relief. Finally—headphones that won't get in the way of carefully maintained sky-high hairdos.
There has been no word yet on whether Pauly's upcoming spinoff will feature a cameo from Fiddy, though that pairing will surely provide more than a few priceless reality TV moments. Fingers crossed!
