50 CENT BOOED OFFSTAGE IN A RAIN OF PLASTIC BOTTLES
50 CENT was dramatically booed off stage tonight at the CARLING WEEKEND: READING festival (August 29).
The rapper was pelted with a shower of plastic bottles from the angry crowd, and even had a camping chair thrown at him, forcing the star to walk off after just twenty five minutes of his Main Stage set.
50 and his G-Unit crew were hit by a rain of bottles as they came onstage, and they even started to pick up the missiles and hurl them back towards the front rows.
Chants of “50 Cent is a wanker” were heard and the group were jeered and heckled throughout the short appearance.
50, joined on stage by his G-Unit crew, endured a mixed reception at first on a stage that saw predominately rock bands over the course of the day.
However, boos from the crowd were soon inaudible over cheers as 50 and crew kicked off with material from debut album ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
Tickertape rained down on the audience during the opening bars to ’In Da Club’, while 50 stripped down to his trousers during ‘Girl'.
The stripping continued during the shows finale, as 50 threw his shoes into the audience to the sounds of gun shots. After undoing his belt and opening his trousers, the controversial rapper then left the stage and went straight back to the tour bus.
Attempting to placate the thousands of people, the rapper said: “We’re just all here to have fun”, and even taunted them by challenging them to all put their middle fingers in the air.
One festival goer told NME.COM: “What was he even doing up there? It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
After playing hits including ’In Da Club’, ’21 Questions’ and ’P.I.M.P’, 50 thanked the crowd and promptly walked off.
The star started his set at 8.10pm, twenty minutes earlier than scheduled, and left at 8.35pm. According to the stage times, he was due to play between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
