50 Cent fires back after his Las Vegas residency was called the ‘worst’ show to ever hit Sin City

by

50 Cent responded after a popular Las Vegas blogger criticized his residency, labeling it as the “least impressive” spectacle in Sin City.

During his latest show from his residence, the rapper (Curtis Jackson) responded to a critical review penned by blogger Jennifer Gay, more commonly recognized as Vegas Starfish among her nearly one million followers.

‘Um, they said the audio was bad,’ he told the sold-out Planet Hollywood crowd.

‘What, you thought I’m gonna be out here rollerblading like Usher and s**t?’ he continued. 

* I’ve recently witnessed something unusual, namely Chris Brown traveling in Africa. My personal travel history does not include any obligations or requirements for me to visit Africa.

In my critique, I couldn’t help but express my candid thoughts on various aspects of Michael Jackson’s performance. Ranging from the clarity of the audio to the intricacies of the stage setup, no detail was left unaddressed in my assessment.

She also said that the In Da Club hitmaker barely interacted with the crowd.

She posted on Instagram, “The sound wasn’t well-balanced, so it was difficult to appreciate the performance.

In my opinion, the cheering squad was relentlessly loud and overwhelming, drowning out any other voices with their constant repetition.

The stage setup and visuals seemed hastily put together just 15 minutes prior to the performance, giving an impression that they were created using a ChatGPT prompt for ’90s hip hop-inspired imagery.’

She further commented that Jackson seemed to be lacking in vitality during his performance, and expressed dissatisfaction over the audience interaction.

She exclaimed angrily, “I’ve never seen a more disappointing live show by any artist. I realize he’s a successful artist who doesn’t require a residency, but if he isn’t willing to give his best, why bother performing at all?

1) He seemed uncomfortable and disinterested within the first 10 minutes, which made me feel as though I wasn’t getting my money’s worth – a tenth of what I actually paid for it.

After a severe critique, numerous commenters accused Gay of overly criticizing the creator of “Candy Shop.

‘Rather hear the opinion of a fan, those are the ones that count,’ commented one.

It seems as if most of the problems stemmed from the venue, such as sound, lighting, and visuals. It’s quite unusual to attribute these issues to the performer instead.

A third person chimed in, ‘Your experience was quite distinct from ours. Everyone was captivated and danced throughout the performance. It’s hard to believe you attended the same event, but the one I saw was fantastic!’

DailyMail.com reached out to Jackson and Planet Hollywood for comment at the time.

The award-winning hip-hop artist secured a whopping $15 million contract for their upcoming six-show engagement, one of which is a New Year’s Eve performance scheduled for December 31st, as reported by TMZ.

The event is taking place within the PH Live, also known as Bakkt Theater, a venue boasting a seating capacity of around 4,600 people. It is equipped with over 2,200 square feet of high-definition LED walls, a D&B sound system packing more than 100,000 watts, and one of the biggest proscenium arch openings found in the United States.

In the past, a medium-sized venue was where artists like Shania Twain, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull (twice), Lionel Richie, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Backstreet Boys, and Christina Aguilera lived temporarily.

Throughout his career, Jackson has achieved multiple chart-topping hits on the Billboard chart, such as “In Da Club,” “P.I.M.P.,” “Candy Shop,” “Just A Lil Bit,” “Magic Stick,” “21 Questions,” and “Hate It Or Love It.
