50 Cent is headed to Las Vegas — and will reportedly be making huge money in the process.
The G-Unit general announced his first-ever Vegas residency, titled ‘In Da Club,’ on Tuesday (October 15). The residency consists of six shows at PH Live, a venue inside of Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, in late December and early January, including one on New Year’s Eve.
50 billed the shows, for which TMZ says he’ll be earning $15 million, as “an experience.”
“You don’t wanna miss this!” he wrote on IG. Check the post below.
“I always bring the energy, and Las Vegas is the perfect spot to create an unforgettable experience for my fans,” 50 said in a statement, per Vegas’ News 3. “We’re talking big production, surprises, and the ultimate New Year’s Eve party for my Vegas residency.”
There is a pre-sale for all shows starting on Wednesday (October 16), and tickets go on sale to the general public on Saturday (October 19). Details can be found at Ticketmaster.
The star actually teased the possibility of a Sin City residency last month in a profile in Haute Living.
At first he was skeptical when presented with the possibility.
“How much of a residency can I commit to when I have multiple film projects coming?” he asked. “Not just the television stuff, but opportunities for me to star in feature films, too. I’m having success in film; my career in television mirrors my music career.
“My first television show [Power] is the largest show on the network; I’m able to develop spinoff shows and turn this into a 10-year anniversary, and it’s now the number one program in African American and Latino households. So, [now in particular] I have to seriously balance out and schedule things.”
But when the writer mentioned that a typical model for Vegas residencies is to have shows spaced out weeks or months apart from each other, Fif’ changed his tune.
“That would actually be fun; that would work for me to do it that way,” he responded.
Ja Rule is somewhere punching the air right now… that and praying that there isn’t any footage of him and Diddy playing house in the hotel room that one time lol
Get a hobby.
Irv, is that you?
I love 50s cataloque more than most people, but he’s really never sounded good live. He yells in the mic. I like artists who sound as good, if not better live. Really, it’s almost disappointing when live show quality isn’t superior experience to studio.
While you are right about 50 not sounding good live, What kind of dumbass expects artists to sound better live than on a studio record?
Why so we can go and hear only 4 good songs from him. In da club, candy shop, 21 questions, and some other random song lol. I’ll pass lol
You can’t make it? damnnn,50 was waiting on you..tour cancelled everyone
If 50 has only 4 good songs then your brain cells are in a negative number.
In your attempt to slander 50, you’ve actually bozo’d yourself. Good work.
Rick ross is literally punching the air right now 50 has absolutely killed him
In recent years especially this last year
