50 Cent isn’t happy with Live Nation over the company not informing him about Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner attending one of his recent shows.
The G-Unit rapper is currently touring North America and Europe as part of his Final Lap Tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
In a since-deleted Instagram post on Sunday (July 30), 50 Cent voiced his frustration with Live Nation due to the events promoter not telling him that Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner were at his concert in Nashville, robbing him of the opportunity to meet with the celebrity couple.
“I’m so mad at these people at live nation,” he wrote. “They didn’t even tell me @kendalljenner and my man @badbunnypr came to see my show Wait till I find out exactly who is responsible for this, They are not gonna want to be anywhere near this tour. WTF #thefinallaptour.”
50 Cent’s Nashville show took place at the Bridgestone Arena on Friday (July 28).
According to Setlist, the Power mogul performed over 30 of his biggest hits including “In Da Club,” P.I.M.P.,” “Candy Shop,” “Window Shopper” and “21 Questions.”
In May, 50 vowed to get back into “fighting” shape ahead of the Final Lap Tour.
“We gonna do the tour and stuff like that, right? So I’m back working out like that,” he told fans on Instagram Live at the time. “I always work out, but it’s different when I gotta start running and all that shit. Matter of fact, I’ma show y’all [on] Live every day. Yeah, I’ma do five miles in front of ’em every day.
“You gonna see me come back down. I’ma lose at least 25 pounds before [the tour]. I’ll be back in dog shape before I go. I’ma start talking mad shit when I’m back in shape. That’s why I be wanting to fight and shit like that, on the low.”
He also suggested it will be the last tour of his career in order for him to focus on film and television ventures.
“Because ticket sales are doing so well they’re adding new markets so the UK, North America and possibly Australia will be in there,” he said. “I gotta get to Africa. I got a lot of spots I gotta hit before I be done, because this is the Final Lap Tour.”
“I won’t be running around like this no more. I gotta do my film and television stuff and got a lot of other things going on behind the scenes that I gotta work on, so I won’t be out touring as much as I’ve been touring…I’m having fun this time because it’s set up to enjoy myself, we not feeling pressure.”
Lizzo has made it clear that she never abandoned her album Love in Real Life.
The “Juice” artist recently responded to rumors that the project had been cancelled after fans expected it to arrive last year. Rather than putting out the album at the time, Lizzo instead released the mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling in June.
During a new conversation with Billboard, the “Truth Hurts” singer explained that the album itself was never scrapped and is still the same body of work she plans to release on June 5 under its new title, B**ch.
“I think the biggest misconception about my album is that I shelved Love in Real Life when I didn't,” she said. “(B**ch) is technically the same album. I just changed the name. The music is the same.”
Lizzo shared that the main difference between the earlier version of the project and the upcoming release was taking away the original title track, which eventually led to the album being renamed.
“When you change the name of something, it changes its destiny,” the singer explained. “Like, when I went from Melissa to Lizzo, it changed my destiny.”
“When this album went from Love in Real Life to Bch, it changed the trajectory of its past,” she continued. “I do think that I feel like I can express myself the way that I want to express myself right now through Bch. I think Love in Real Life was really sombre and a little bit more introspective, and I think B**ch is a little bit more empowered and self actualised and bold.”
Before the newly titled album arrives, Lizzo has already released the singles B**ch and Don’t Make Me Love U.
The artist had previously spoken about stepping away from Love in Real Life during an earlier interview with Vulture, saying the project “just wasn't what I was feeling right now”.
She also mentioned that much of the album had originally been written back in 2022.
“By 2025, I've changed, the world has changed so much, and so much has happened,” she said. “I was like, ‘I need to do s**t differently, and I don't know what it is, but I'm going to just start following my instincts.’”
