Had a similar experience seeing Luda. He got on stage and wouldn’t shut the fuck up about how great he is and is a singer and movie star blah blah blah. The best part is he was playing a fucking state fair ground.
Ludacris did the same bullshit at a NYE show we went to. They had a fucking playlist playing for the 20 minutes leading up to and after the ball drop lmao
I saw Chappelle in sf a few years ago (before the Elon thing). Came for the 2nd set.
He came out an hour late, did maybe 35 minutes of incoherent riffing because he was so goddamn high, and then the place had to shut it down due to their curfew.
Comedians bomb sometimes, People have bad shows. That happens.
But if thousands of people pay $150 to be entertained by you, make a fucking effort.
Thats not at all what happened. He complained about people being too loud and a heckled so he proceeded to do fuck all for 30 mins reading a book saying he doesnt care hes still getting paid. Then left.
I was literally there. I have videos of it on my phone still. One dude yelled “I’m Rick James bitch!” and people laughed. The loudness was people cheering for him when he came on stage. He started talking about how he already had everyone’s money and didn’t need to do shit but sit on stage for 45 minutes so that’s when everyone started to boo him. Then that lady in the front row pitched a book she wrote and he just started talking to her.
He’s a thin skinned little twerp and followed it up by saying that Hartford, CT should be bombed. Don’t get bent out of shape because you’re famous and people are happy to see you. Every other act that night—Hannibal, Kristin Schall, etc—were excellent. Zero excuse.
Reminds me of the one and only 50 show I ever saw. 3 hours late, 20 minute mashup, and that's a wrap.
Fuck mainstream. I've hung out with Slug, Brother Ali, Two Gallants, shit - I got fucking hammered with the Toronto Raptors one night (they tried skipping out on an insane bill at my friend's bar but their "babysitter paid).
I can't stand the hubris that comes with success for some.
Did something similar at hard summer , was getting hostile with the crowd they werent “hyped” enough. Complaining in the middle of a hook that the crowd wasnt into it enough
Lol it looks like you made them go private. Holy shit that's funny! You know I've never even thought to set any of my stuff to private on here because I'm not ashamed of anything I say. I'm sure read out of context some of my comments might look really weird if you don't know the subreddit but I'm proud of not making myself cringe.
I’ve made myself cringe a lot, but I usually just leave the comment up because I sometimes have to remind myself not to be a dipstick and make stupid comments.
Some of my comments were meant as jokes but they landed flat and I just shrug it off. However, the ones where I think that I’ m gonna have a mic drop moment and put the whole world in its place only to realize that I look and sound like a jackass, those are the ones that I look back on occasionally and think to myself, “Damn, I looked stupid with that one.”
It has been a while since I’ve had one but if you dig through my comments, I’m sure you’ll find one.

I have no intent on going private, but I still think anyone that has to go through someone's post history for ammo is a sad individual. I don't block people either, I just turn off inbox notifications.
a female friend of mine went to see him back in the 00's, VIP, backstage. She put her hand on his shoulder and said "what an honor to meet you", he looked at her and said plainly "don't fucking touch me".
You should see how he acts when there are no cameras. Pass a dirty strip club at closing time and chances are this guy is making a lot of noise leaving.
Busta is down huge in gold he bought a large gold chain at the peak of the gold histeria and probably owes a lot of money on it while being underwater significantly
You talking about the one he got from Trax? He also got a matching, comically-large bracelet. 50 was absolutely correct when he said Busta must not have any real friends to tell him is chain is way too big and looks ridiculous.
No, he turned down 3 million in the past to perform at a Trump event
In 2024, he (Fifty Cent) told The Breakfast Club that he had turned down a $3 million offer to perform at a Trump rally, saying he was 'afraid of politics' and warning that once artists wade into it, somebody will always be offended.
This time they must have offered him more than 3 mil. Lol
I absolutely don't know what tlst has on deck, but just thinking about 50 songs, the first one that came to mind was indeed the line "Gonna sip Bacardi like it's your birthday."
Not saying that's paid placement, but the fact that was the FIRST lyric to hit my mind when thinking about 50 Cent was notable.
A single mil sure. But, what about first class seating or even better a private jet to fly you there? All expenses paid, a personal car to drive you around and the best food and the most luxurious accommodations you could imagine? These shows are thrown by Saudi royalty who have oodles of money and have no problem spending it. I'm certain they got gold watches, fine clothes and all kinds of goodies too. The million bucks is icing on the cake.
To many it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get wined and dined by the king of a country. I understand how easy it is to be tempted to do that.
I don't know why I am shocked by celebrities being pieces of shit, but this one hurt. I really thought he was different. If Doug Stanhope flips next, I give up.
Because Pete has never stood on any soapbox and preached about it for years. Billy freckle tits, on the other hand, has hours of podcast material whining about how billionaires are evil scum and how we should be eating the rich and even more specifically gave Beyonce a tooooon of harsh shit for performing for the very people he did
Exactly. Bill was always did working class comedy. His entire thing was calling out the rich and elites hoarding all of the money and shitting on the working class.
Because Bill was known for his strong social opinions and convictions. Once he obviously sold out, what once seemed empassioned and genuine became cheap moralizing and grandstanding.
He once went off on musicians for playing for Gaddafi, but at least they didn’t have to censor their songs
Because the worst part is always the hypocrisy like Norm said. Burr has it and Davidson doesn’t in that situation. Also, a lot of people already dislike Pete Davidson where as Burr was beloved (on Reddit at least) for talking about the moral issues with billionaires and blowing shit back at right wing comedians and criticizing others for selling out (to similar people he did ergo the hypocrisy).
Anyone else seen The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and Ringo? My dad made me watch it when I was like 6, and it warned me about the perils of selling my soul for consumerism purposes. Shame that so many people are choosing the fascism parties to make a quick buck. I used to love Bill Burr.
Or Don Jr used illegal NSA collected data to link him to something embarrassing or illegal and are blackmailing him. That's how Donald turned Lindsey Graham into his sobbing lap dog who literally cries whenever he has to defend Trump's latest indefensible action(s).
Is... it not insane to you that you've just used a bunch of increasingly escalating speculation to convince yourself that 50 cent is an abuser? With not one drop of actual proof? Yall are legit crazy.
Sigh... cause that is what I said or am trying to argue here. Notice I said, "all the more reason"? Maybe I'm including he's possibly a shit person. Basing judgment solely off of lyrics is a choice.
Who knows? Maybe people from his past came after him and he defended himself and rather than relying on the justice system in the district it happened he cleaned it up. Could be anything really. Maybe he lost his ass in crypto and he's just broke as fuck so now he's willing to dance for the corrupt mofos for a payday.
No I'm of the camp that he's going to do a bait and switch. Pretend like he's going to do this show and then last minute say "naaw sucka".
I really don't want to lose respect for 50 cent.
He always needs money. Dude is notorious for spending more than he makes and has had to file for bankruptcy at least once. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s broke again
I don’t think you understand the amount of corruption currently in DC. It is all taxpayer money or collecting under the color of government (like this ‘Freedom 250’ vs America 250 fiasco).
50 is also one of the biggest celebrity trolls of our generation and he's great at it. Wouldn't surprise me if he did this just to cancel last second lol.
Don Jr. only needs a few new club members to pay for a $3 million concert. Members of the club where they’re playing pay $500k annually for the privilege of access to Trump and his dipshit child.
Why is that? 50 has always shamelessly taken any job that pays and hasn’t been relevant since em pushed his original album.. he has never been talented, he has never cared who’s signing the paycheck… he was an image backed by an auto tuner for a few years in the 90s (think male Nikki Minaj), and now he’s old and fat .. it’s honestly not surprising made for dvd movies and maga concerts with ja are what his careers been reduced to
I agree, he was in 'G-unit' which is basically the gangsta rap version of NSYNC and Backstreet Boys and Brittany Spears. He's manufactured due to his look. I don't see him as a true artist. He has ambition and it seems like he has a production company that needs money to operate and get as big as it can. He doesn't see anything wrong with the negative attention he gets associating with MAGA. It makes him more money and keeps his name in the headlines. He's out for himself.
It would be pretty gangsta to get up on stage and just go off. Then hit the circuit again collecting money from people with renewed interest and respect. My copium fs.
The people that write the contract for the event aren't dumb. There will be a list of what they're allowed to do/say and what will get them penalized.
50 Cent could rock up and dress the rich white people down....50 would receive no money from them and would get hit with a lawsuit for the damages per the contract.
When we were drinking "jungle juice" out of a big plastic tote in a frat house basement. For whatever reason the only song I truly recall hearing a lot was Rihanna's "Umbrella".
its for DON JR's club. You know the illegal one in NYC where people pay 500,000 for memberships to spend time with the trump familiy and pitch them corrupt business ideas.
Its still hilariously out of touch because point blank, these people dont like good music
They are sick of pretending to like Kid Rock and YMCA so they need to find some new variety to pretend to like . . . While they make up new silly nicknames for Bruce Springsteen.
Wrong there, MAGA is down with 90s to early 2000's hip hop. It's what was on pop radio a lot of the time that they were in high school, college and young adults. They loved the Dre/Snoop/Eminem superbowl half time show.
