​50 Cent at BASE Dubai

Without a doubt, 50 Cent was one of the biggest stars to come out of hip-hop in the early 2000s. The artist arrived in Hollywood with a made-for-film backstory, mentored by Dr. Dre and Eminem until he became one of the world’s best selling rappers with his 2003 debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. He released a succession of dance anthems like “In Da Club”, “Candy Shop” and “Ayo Technology” featuring Justin Timberlake that turned him into an international household name. 50 Cent's empire has only gotten larger with time, expanding his brand into a business, clothing line, PlayStation game, a semi-biographical movie and even a flavour of Vitamin Water.
