Popular rapper 50 Cent, also known as ‘Fif’, recently announced a change in his concert schedule on Twitter due to dangerously high temperatures. The announcement came shortly after his performance in Dallas, where temperatures reached a staggering 100 degrees. The planned Phoenix show was part of the artist’s Final Lap Tour, a nationwide trip celebrating the 20th anniversary of his landmark debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
“Due to extreme heat, the show tomorrow in Phoenix, AZ is being postponed. For anyone who would like a refund, please go to point of purchase for instructions. I’ll be back in Arizona soon! 116 degrees is dangerous for everyone.” – 50 Cent
The Final Lap Tour is a significant milestone for 50 Cent as it marks two decades since the release of his debut album. The tour features performances from the rapper and other artists such as Tony Yayo, Busta Rhymes, and Jeremih. However, 50 Cent hinted that this might be his last nationwide tour for a while due to his evolving interests in the film and television industries.
The decision to postpone the Phoenix show was made due to the extreme heat forecasted for the day of the concert. With temperatures expected to reach 116 degrees, 50 Cent expressed concern for the safety of his fans, his team, and himself.
Despite the scorching heat, 50 Cent’s recent show in Dallas is worth noting. Here, he endured 100-degree weather and still managed to deliver an exceptional performance. However, he was candid about the challenges of performing under such conditions.
“103 dates. This is show No. 25. Live Nation set me up. Put me in Dallas. 102 fucking degrees.” – 50 Cent
50 Cent has exciting plans outside of music, particularly in film and television. This shift in focus could mean fewer tours in the future, making the Final Lap Tour a potentially rare opportunity for fans to see him perform live.
50 Cent has assured fans who were looking forward to the Phoenix show that they could get a refund for their tickets. He directed them to the point of purchase for instructions.
While the postponement of the Phoenix show is unfortunate, it highlights 50 Cent’s concern for the wellbeing of his fans, team, and himself. As he ventures into new grounds in film and television, fans can only hope for more music in between his screen projects.
50 Cent, through his music and now his new ventures, continues to be a significant figure in the entertainment industry. Despite the challenges, he remains committed to delivering the best to his fans, even if it means making tough calls like postponing a show.
