50 Cent is throwing a four-day music and comedy fest in Shreveport, Louisiana, to raise funds for underserved communities.
“Humor and Harmony Weekend is the first of many events I will be bringing to the great city of Shreveport,” the rapper, 48, said in a press release shared with Us Weekly. “I want to thank all my friends for coming out to support and help give back to the G-Unity Foundation. We are going to put on a weekend to remember, and help make a difference for underserved youth.”
Humor and Harmony Weekend, which G-Unity is hosting in collaboration with 50 Cent’s company Sire Spirits, kicks off on Thursday, August 8, and runs through Sunday, August 11. The event will feature performances from comics including Andrew Schulz, Bill Bellamy and Katt Williams and musicians including Da Baby, 2 Chainz, Cam’ron, Flo-Rida, Monica and 50 Cent himself. Tickets for the festival, which will be held at Shreveport’s Independence Stadium, are on sale now at HumorHarmonyWeekend.com.
The “In Da Club” artist’s generosity doesn’t end with his foundation. During a January appearance on the “All That Smoke” podcast, Snoop Dogg said that he and 50 Cent have teamed up to help members of the hip-hop community who’ve fallen on hard times.
