50 Cent is back in the news as a major player in entertainment and business, proving he’s more than a rapper. Born Curtis Jackson in Queens, he built a media empire and hit the charts big time.
Sports Illustrated has announced SI Beyond the Pitch, a concert and VIP fan series in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and New York around the World Cup. The events will feature acts like Nelly, The Chainsmokers, 50 Cent and Diplo, beginning June 12 in LA and concluding July 18 in New York. The venture marks a major push into live sports entertainment after the success of SI The Party.
