50 Cent Responds to Critics of Vegas Residency: ‘What You Thought?’

50 Cent has responded to a Vegas entertainment critic who called his Las Vegas residency the worst in the city’s history.

In a video, 50 is seen with the same hand movements, and we get additional details. The review highlights bad theater sound, hypemen louder than 50, and delivering just 84 minutes of a performance. Ultimately, the review states that the mogul didn’t want to be there.

The next night, 50 responded: “What you thought, I’m gonna be out here rollerblading like Usher?”

He added, “I seen some shit, Chris Brown was flying in Africa. I don’t have records that require me to fly in Africa.”

He then continued his show, which everyone in attendance appeared to love. You can see it all below.
