50 Cent, the hip-hop icon, continues his charitable efforts, recently raising R9.6 million (R500,000) for the Houston Children’s Charity at their annual gala. The event, held on Saturday, October 19, featured an auction where the rapper sold two oversized bottles of his Le Chemin du Roi champagne. The evening was a major success, with the entire event raising over R119 million, setting a new record for the organisation.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, 50 Cent shared his excitement about the event, saying, “Houston Children’s Charity is an amazing organization… I helped raise R9.6 million for the kids last night. I had a ball.” The rapper also entertained the crowd with his signature humour, joking about the auctioneer’s fast-paced speech and calling the winning bidder “rich as a muthaf**ka.”
The Houston Children’s Charity, established to support underprivileged, abused, and disabled children in the Greater Houston area, continues to make a significant impact in the community. The 27th annual gala saw a star-studded guest list, including actor Jeremy Renner and NFL Hall of Famer Andre Johnson.

In addition to his charity work, 50 Cent recently announced another major milestone—his first Las Vegas concert residency. Titled “50 Cent: In Da Club,” the residency will take place at PH Live in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, with six shows scheduled between late 2024 and early 2025. A special New Year’s Eve performance is also planned, promising to bring his energetic stage presence to fans in Las Vegas.
The rapper shared his excitement, stating, “I always bring the energy, and Las Vegas is the perfect spot to create an unforgettable experience for my fans.”
