When asked whether he ever felt lonesome in his huge home, the superstar rapper revealed: "I'm content with where I'm at. I'm not trying to get your sympathy. The guy that sits there and says. 'I'm lonely' in the middle of being one of the most popular people around, it translates into he wants some sympathy in some way." 50 also revealed that despite being single he still finds time for personal fulfillment. "My sex life is great. I don't have a problem with that area," the rapper said laughing. 50 also discussed the prospect of settling down someday. "Maybe," 50 said. "Well, you got 53 percent of people getting divorced in this climate. I think marriage and some of those things [are] turning into a business deal. When you got to go to your attorney and go to her attorney and negotiate what the prenup is and if you have three kids, you're going to get this much money, three more years going to pay you this much. Doesn't it sound like deal points?" The rapper pointed out that his rocky past has contributed to his trust issues  and consequently affected his personal life. "I got trust issues," 50 Cent said. "I don't really trust people. In general. I kind of got to be around them long enough. I like to think I'm a good judge of character but I make mistakes. So I got to be around them long enough to kind of figure out who each individual is and then I develop a comfort being around them. I don't know what these people intentions are. " "I don't know if it was growing up or I don't know where, but I always had [trust issues]," he added. " In the lifestyle, when you're in the streets, you got to watch everybody too. So it's just, I guess it's a habit." 50 Cent's interview with Nightline will air  tonight at 11:35 ET. In related news, the rapper will be releasing his fourth solo album Before I Self Destruct on November 16th. The album will feature apperances from Eminem, Ne-Yo and R.
