Should 50 Cent be qualified by (Rapper) rather than by (Musician)?  Wikipedia lists 50 Cent as being a rapper, entrepreneur, investor and actor.  (My staff have been debating this for the last 15 minutes.)

 

Are these qualifications up for discussion?

A question on this point came up during our RDA in NACO training in November.  Here's the question I posed to Paul Frank along with his response:

5. Additions made to names that do not evoke "person-ness": since LC-PCC PS 9.19.1.3 asks for birth/death dates in personal name access points regardless of conflict, it seems this is also expected for those names that require Profession/Occupation element data to clarify the person-ness of someone (RDA 9.19.1.2).  Following this, we would then have:

 100 0- 50 Cent $c (Musician), $d 1975-

Is this correct?

PF: Yes, this is correct.
