He might have rapped about partying ‘like it’s your birthday’, on one of his breakthrough songs In Da Club, but it appears 50 Cent favours a more low-key approach when it comes to his own big day.
West London locals were no doubt rather surprised to see the musician and actor, who was in London to perform at the Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park on Saturday, enjoying a belated birthday celebration at Somalian restaurant, The Village, on Fulham Palace Road, Hammersmith, on Sunday evening.
Friends, including music moguls Dr Dre, 58, and Jimmy Iovine, 70, who co-founded the Beats Electronics brand in California in 2006, put on a surprise belated birthday bash for the star, who actually turned 48 on July 6.
Fifty formed part of a star-studded line-up for Wireless, which first took place in Hyde Park in 2005. This year’s festival saw performances by Travis Scott, 32, ex-partner of the youngest Kardashian sister, Kylie Jenner, 25, with who he shares two children, New York rapper of the moment Ice Spice, as well as 34-year-old Jamaican singer Popcaan.
Fifty will be back in the UK later in the year for the UK leg of his The Final Lap Tour: Get Rich Or Die Tryin‘ - 20 Years Later. He’s playing the O2 Arena on Saturday November 11, then Wembley Arena on Friday, November 17.
