50 Cent Responds to Las Vegas Residency Criticism

Rapper 50 Cent, following criticism of his Las Vegas residency as the 'worst show' in Sin City history, responded with humor during a performance at Planet Hollywood's PH Live Theatre. Blogger Jennifer Gay, known as Vegas Starfish, lambasted the show for poor sound quality, lack of audience engagement, and a disappointing overall performance, stating that it felt like 50 Cent didn’t want to be there. In his rebuttal, 50 Cent joked about the critiques, questioning why he would perform like Usher and highlighting that he doesn't have songs that require extravagant performances. While some fans defended him, attributing issues to the venue rather than the artist, Gay's review sparked mixed reactions online. Ultimately, 50 Cent's residency was part of a lucrative deal, earning him a reported $15 million for six shows.
