50 Cent given key to city of Houston

In early 2021, 50 Cent officially made the move to Houston. He has since mad various business endeavors with his Le Chemin du Roi Brut champagne. The Houston Astros even used that champagne, to celebrate their 2022 World Series championship.

Now, 50 is getting acknowledged even further, for his efforts in Houston. This week, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner officially gifted 50 with the key to the city. Turner gave 50 the key, during Houston’s Thanksgiving day parade.

“This is somebody who is a philanthropist, rapper, artist, business person — you name it. He used to live in another city up north, but found his way down south. This is one person who is now a Houstonian. I want to thank him.”

Some of the work in the Houston community that 50 has put in, include through his G-Unity foundation, and providing financial literacy to high school students. Turner says that the G-Unity program has helped turned these students into entrepreneurs.

“He didn’t just come here to live; he has been helping out on so many causes in this city — especially in our high schools, turning our high school students into entrepreneurs with his G-Unity program,” Turner continued. “This city has been elevated because of his presence and so today we have the honor of saying to him, he’s our 2022 Grand Marshal.”
