New York heavyweight 50 Cent isn't going on his lonesome back to Citi Field when he returns to the ballpark next week following a now-infamous and publicized horrific first pitch. #CitiFieldReturn
According to reports, Curtis Jackson will have his newly reunited G-Unit family with him on June 14.
The New York Mets today announced that 50 Cent will be joined by the rest of G-Unit Saturday, June 14 at Citi Field following the 4:10 p.m. Mets-Padres game. Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Kidd Kidd and more special guests will perform with 50 Cent at the post-game concert. The hometown performance kicks off the Mets Concert Series presented by Duane Reade and is in support of his new album Animal Ambition, which is being released today. (New York Mets)
Last week, Fif claimed a local cop felt no shame in bringing up his pre-Mets game throw while on duty.
“That was Curtis that did that. See, I’m trying to get Curtis to be more like 50 Cent. … You know what, I actually got pulled over by New York City police. They pulled me over in my car. He pulled me over and I said, ‘I got my license,’ right, because I was a little nervous. As soon as he pulled me over, I was like, ‘Uh-oh. What’d I do?’ And then, he said, ‘You know that pitch was terrible.’ He didn’t give me a ticket, no thing. He said, ‘Just go ahead. I don’t want to mess up your day because you made me laugh.'” (“Good Morning America”)
Fif posted videos and addressed his headline-generating pitch last week.
“I’m a hustler not a Damn ball player. LMAO #smsaudio #animalambition,” Fif captioned behind home plate.
“The sh!t almost hit the camera man d*mn, if you look close you can see them moving the plate. Lol #smsaudio #animalambition” (50 Cent’s Instagram)
Local New York media outlets took note of Fif’s throwing arm last Tuesday (May 27).
Baba Booey is off the hook. Rapper 50 Cent threw out what could be considered the worst ceremonial first pitch in the history of Citi Field, surpassing the Howard Stern producer for that subjective honor. And by quite a large margin. The Queens rapper took the rubber before Mets-Pirates on Tuesday night. Throwing left-handed, 50 Cent launched one way wide of Mets catcher Anthony Recker.
