when he was about to start his career, someone asked him what it will be worth, he said only 50 cents, so his rapping name is 50 cent!

To have a cool sounding name. Image is 90% of mainstream hip-hop right now.
I checked wikipedia for you, no cool stories about the source of his name, unfortunately.

Because he once asked someone what his career should be worth. This was their response.

In an interview years ago, he was asked that question. His response: "Because it's money!"
