Greene's work, notably "The 48 Laws of Power," captured the attention of many within the music industry, including 50 Cent, who referred to the book as his personal "Bible." This recognition led to a meeting between them in New York, an encounter described by Greene as reminiscent of a scene from The Godfather, where he found himself among 50 Cent's entourage as the sole outsider.
