In the world of Vegas residencies, 50 Cent is hitting back against critics with the same energy he brings to his music. A negative review from a travel blogger sent ripples through social media, calling his show the ‘worst’ Vegas has seen. But 50 Cent remains unbothered, and he’s making sure everyone knows it.
The rapper’s performances have drawn comparisons to Vegas legends like Usher and Chris Brown, known for their high-octane shows. However, 50 Cent is quick to set the record straight. ‘What you thought, I was gonna be out here rollerblading like Usher?‘ he quipped during his final show, adding a dash of humor to the critiques.
Addressing reports of poor audio quality, 50 didn’t mince words, saying, ‘Bitch, you was supposed to say some shit like, ’50 be doing this shit’‘. It’s clear he’s taking the feedback in stride, turning criticisms into part of the act while keeping the crowd entertained.
Despite mixed reviews, the residency hasn’t lacked in financial success, reportedly earning 50 Cent a cool $15 million across six shows. Aligned with the rapper’s unapologetic style, his response to detractors stays true to his brand, as he continues to challenge negative narratives.
Social media has played a significant role in the unfolding drama. 50 Cent directly called out radio station Hot 97 for echoing the critical review, stating, ‘Wow. Hot 97 hate. I get it the station is falling apart but you can’t post the same shit world star post.’ He isn’t just focusing on the stage; he’s taking the battle online, too.
Adding to the pile-on, long-standing rival Ja Rule used the opportunity to throw some shade. Reposting the critical review video, he added a sly comment on social media. The rivalry between these two artists remains as heated as ever, providing an additional layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga.
50 Cent isn’t just performing; he’s redefining his Vegas residency experience his way.
