50 Cent got the chance to link up with Will Ferrell at the Indiana Pacers game earlier this week.
Footage of their link-up surfaced online via 50’s Instagram page on Monday night (March 6), shortly after the Pacers took on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In the first set of clips, the G-Unit boss pushed a go-kart that Ferrell was riding on during what appeared to be a pre-game segment.
The Step Brothers star seemingly wasn’t aware 50 Cent was the one pushing him until he turned around and dapped up the rap mogul with a surprised look on his face.

50 also posted a photo of him greeting Ferrell, along with his view of the action from his courtside seat. The Sixers beat the Pacers 147-143 in what ESPN called “a wildly entertaining game that was virtually devoid of defense.”
“Ran into one of my favorite actors Will Ferrell at the game #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi,” Fif wrote in his Instagram caption. “Indiana Pacers vs 76ers first the eagles now this I’m done #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”
Will Ferrell was in town filming his new road trip-style documentary and ended up at the Pacers game to catch all the action. He even made his way into the Pacers locker room and engaged in some fun with the players by offering them a beer right before tipoff.
50 Cent’s appearance at the Pacers game, meanwhile, should come as no surprise given he has a sponsorship deal with the team. Last October, the Pacers announced they had agreed a multi-year partnership with 50’s premium wine and spirits company Sire Spirits LLC.
“What impressed me most about the Pacers organization was its firm commitment to the community which will allow me to extend my charitable efforts into Indianapolis,” 50 said in a statement at the time. “I am also excited to have my brands featured at one of the countries newest premiere entertainment venues.
“I’m excited to be a part of the new development that Gainbridge Fieldhouse will bring to the city of Indianapolis. I look forward to meeting and spending time with the fans.”

The Queens native’s deal with the Indiana Pacers came after he linked up with the Sacramento Kings for a similar distribution deal last summer and another with the Houston Rockets back in March 2022.
The deals mean Sire Spirits is the exclusive beverage partner for these NBA teams. They also include various ventures with 50 Cent’s G-Unity Foundation charity.
