50 Cent turned down my request to take picture with him – Davido

Published on April 08, 2025 at 04:29 PM

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido has recalled his first encounter with American rapper 50 Cent, revealing that the G-Unit boss turned down his request for a photo.
He recounted being a teenager when his family celebrated his elder brother's birthday in Las Vegas, where he met 50 Cent, who blatantly refused to take a picture with him.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Davido said he reminded 50 Cent of the incident years later after he had become a music star himself.
He said: “The first time I ever saw 50 Cent, I was a kid in Vegas. I was like ‘can I have a picture', he said, ‘No.'
“My brother was turning 21, my dad took everybody to Vegas but I was 14 so I can't do nothing. They were doing the whole thing. I was just sitting in the lobby. I used to love Lloyd Banks, he was my favourite. So, I saw him and I went to him and took a picture with him. Then I saw 50 Cent, I went to him and said in Nigerian accent, ‘Wow! 50 Cent, I love you. Can I have a picture?' He said, ‘No' and just walked off.
“I told him about the incident years later when we met as colleagues and he said, ‘You are here now, right?' [Laughs].”
A few years ago, 50 Cent brought Davido on as a surprise guest performer at his MSG show in New York.
The duo are set to co-headline a concert in London later this year, alongside Mary J. Blige.
