UK’s Mirror documented 50’s recent adventure in Cannes which included performing at a birthday bash for Ed Hardy designer, Christian Audigier.
We hear Fiddy was paid a six figure sum to replace Michael Jackson on the night. And he was worth every, er, Cent.
During his set, which included the hit In Da Club, we hung out backstage with Beyonce’s little sister Solange Knowles and rocker Lenny Kravitz.
Paris Hilton, with her bloke Doug Reinhardt, managed to sneak in too, and wasn’t very happy to be refused entry to Fiddy’s dressing room.
This isn’t the first time 50 has publicly dissed ole girl. These crazy kids need to work it out. Ha!
Travel Places is a classic Chef cut that really showcases Raekwon’s storytelling prowess. When I put this track on, I’m instantly transported—it’s like the musical equivalent of going on an epic Tanzania Safari Tours. The way he navigates the beat and drops those vivid, street-certified bars is unmatched. It’s definitely a standout addition to the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II era that I still keep in rotation today. If you're looking for that signature Wu-Tang atmosphere, this track delivers. It’s smooth, sharp, and just hits different. Seriously, do yourself a favor and give it another spin today.
