Attendees at the first night of The Final Lap tour, which was announced by acclaimed hip-hop artist and actor 50 Cent as his farewell tour, were treated to a spectacular array of surprise guest appearances. The evening was truly star-studded, with notable appearances by J. Cole, Jadakiss, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, DaBaby, and more.
The tour, headlined by 50 Cent and featuring opening acts Jeremih and Busta Rhymes, kicked off with Busta Rhymes taking the stage, delivering a captivating performance of hits such as “I Know What You Want,” “Pass the Courvoisier” part 2, and “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.” However, it was 50 Cent and his ensemble of guest stars that truly stole the spotlight.
Amidst an extravagant production complete with pyrotechnics and numerous wardrobe changes, 50 Cent showcased a lineup of his chart-topping tracks, including “In Da Club,” “21 Questions,” “Magic Stick,” and “Candy Shop.” The night was elevated to unforgettable status thanks to the surprise appearances, occurring just days before hip-hop’s 50th anniversary.
J. Cole, the final surprise guest of the evening, delivered a rousing performance of “No Role Modelz” and paid homage to the greatness of Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) before leaving the stage. The electrified crowd wholeheartedly echoed their appreciation for the hip-hop legend.
Jadakiss also astonished the audience by joining 50 Cent on stage for a dynamic rendition of “Irregular Heartbeat.” The Yonkers, New York, artist then delighted fans with a medley of his iconic verses, including his viral “Who Shot Ya” freestyle, “All About the Benjamins,” “Knock Yourself Out,” and “We Gonna Make It.”
Another unexpected moment featured A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, who treated the crowd to a performance of several hits, including “Uptown/Bustdown.” The surprises continued with DaBaby, delivering his current chart-topping track “Shake Sumn,” and Flo Rida, who rocked the stage with his iconic “Low.”
