The elderly 50 Cent fan who was recently spotted having the time of her life at one of the G-Unit rapper’s shows is hoping to turn her viral moment into something more.
On Tuesday (November 14), Fif reposted footage of the woman dancing along to “Ayo Technology” after the second of his two shows at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena earlier this week.

“The coolest person at my show tonight by far, she was rocking wit me. Birmingham second show. LOL,” he captioned the post.
Talking to BBC News the next day, Mary Jane Farquharson – known to her son and his friends as Momma Jane – said she hopes she can meet 50 one day and get a hug.
“I would like to do a meet and greet with 50 Cent. As in his lyrics on ‘In Da Club,’ ‘Come on baby, give me a hug!’ I’m ready!” she said. “I can only thank people for taking the time to view the video and making me the coolest person on the internet at the moment.”

She continued: “You know, I don’t like being called an old lady. I’m not old at all! I mean I listen to MTV music all the time, I’ve always got the radio on. I mean, I usually know what’s going on with artists before my son and his mates.”

Fans had plenty to say about Momma Jane on 50 Cent’s initial post. “When the G in G-Unit stands for Granny,” one fan joked, while another said: “Ayo she deff tired of using technology!”
Another fan gave 50 props for being able to sell out arenas across the globe thanks in large part to albums released in the 2000s.
“I don’t care what anybody says the way 50 selling out shows across the world,” they wrote. “He doesn’t get enough credit! I don’t care how you feel there aren’t [a] ton of hip hop artist selling out arenas multiple nights across the world!”

With fans packing out arenas for his concerts, that also means listeners are running up the streaming numbers for 50’s music, like his 2003 debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, which recently reached yet another Spotify streaming milestone, crossing the four billion stream mark.
The G-Unit boss took to social media to reflect on the accolade and give some advice for younger rappers. “See why I be saying take your time make it a classic. Over 4 billion Spotify streams,” he captioned the post.
The rewards continue to pour in for 50 as “In Da Club” also joined the billion club when it surpassed a billion Spotify streams back in June. “Take your time make it a classic then it won’t go away,” 50 wrote at the time.
Earlier this month, 50 earned his first diamond plaque, as that same song made history, becoming the 43rd rap track to reach diamond status.

“In Da Club has officially reached Diamond 10,000,000 singles sold,” he wrote to IG. “The 43rd Hip Hop song to go Diamond, 121 songs of all time to do it. I feel good, I’m that thing 50cent.”
50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour continues this week with UK shows in Manchester and London.
