50 Cent Rocks Venezuela -- Check Out The Video!
50 Cent is a very busy man. He's been working with Dr. Dre and Eminem on his forthcoming album, Before I Self Destruct, as well as their next projects. He'll be playing the Bamboozle Left festival alongside Fall Out Boy and Cobra Starship. He's even found time to get into a war of words with Rick Ross.
But as he promised Ross in one of those messages, 50 also found time to travel to Caracas, Venezuela, for a surprise performance with Wisin y Yandel on Saturday. He helped the reggaetón giants close out Solid Fest at the Hipódromo la Rinconada. Daddy Yankee and Enrique Iglesias also played the two-day festival.
"The excitement about being in Venezuela is tremendous, to see the music break the language barrier — and the opportunity to do that in an area where actually they're the bigger artist," 50 told MTV News.
50 emerged from the stadium wings, along with G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks, to surprise the crowd of 40,000 screaming fans during Wisin y Yandel's set. They performed the official remix of G-Unit's "Rider Pt. 2" called "Asi Soy."
This was not the first time 50 had joined Wisin y Yandel onstage: He teamed up with them last summer at Madison Square Garden for their sold-out show during Puerto Rican Day Parade weekend. They also have plans to work on a track for Wisin y Yandel's next record.
"We're working with 50 Cent on a song called 'Mujeres en el Club,' " one of the group's members said. "It would be a dream come true. Not just for us, but for reggaetón it would be huge."
