Some hip-hop fans were shocked when Wyclef Jean, 50 Cent, Timbaland and other stars (including Mary J. Blige), were implicated in a steroids investigation but in an over-the-top industry where using other types of illegal drugs is a given and getting shot is likely, any surprise seems more than a bit naïve. Maybe they thought 50 Cent got that body by lifting all that bling?

Although public accusations of steroid and human-growth-hormone use by rappers and R&B stars, according to a report in The Times Union of Albany are all but unheard of, the latest news struck a chord about the increasing pressure on these performers to maintain perfect, even superhuman physiques as a part of their overall image and brand. “The spectacle of hip-hop now is so much greater than it’s ever been,” said Jeff Chang, the author of the hip-hop history “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.” “There’s always the battle aesthetic at work, this idea that you’re going to go up there and show that you’re badder than everybody else. It’s part of the swagger that hip-hop carries.” (nytimes)
