AceShowbiz - Amidst his ongoing Las Vegas residency, 50 Cent has found himself at the center of controversy due to a viral TikTok review that criticized his show. The reviewer claimed the audio was poor, the hype men were louder than 50 Cent, and his stage presence seemed disinterested.
The video sparked discussions among fans and detractors alike, with some agreeing with the critic's assessment while others defended 50 Cent.
In response to the criticism, 50 Cent addressed the issues during a recent residency performance with his signature humor. "[They] supposed to say some s**t like, '50 be doing this s**t,' " he said. "That's what I'ma do. You won't say the music was bad."
He also poked fun at other performers' elaborate stage antics, "What, you thought I was going to be out here roller-blading like Usher and s**t? I seen some s**t, Chris Brown was flying in Africa. I don't have records that require me to fly in Africa."
Despite the criticism, the six-day run, launched on December 27, reportedly earned 50 Cent a staggering $15 million. The residency features a mix of his greatest hits and deeper cuts, along with elements of his entrepreneurial endeavors.
Celebrities such as Amanda Bynes and Danielle Fishel attended the show while T-Pain, DaBaby, and Jeremih made appearances as surprise guests. As for his adversary Ja Rule, he mocked 50 Cent over the negative review.
As the residency is still ongoing, it remains to be seen how history will judge 50 Cent's Las Vegas run. However, the controversy and humor it has generated have undoubtedly made it a memorable experience for fans and observers alike.
Additionally, 50 Cent has other ventures on the horizon, including a potential collaborative album with Eminem, adding to the anticipation and intrigue surrounding his future endeavors.
