50 Cent was among the many to congratulate LeBron James on his epic game on Tuesday night. The Lakers player further cemented his status as a GOAT in the league after breaking the record for all-time points. Fans were undoubtedly excited about the feat, not only for James but simply to witness NBA history. Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, who previously held the record, applauded James at the Lakers game for his incredible performance that created a historic moment for the league.
The NBA shared a compilation video afterward of LeBron’s celebrity friends and NBA peers congratulating him. Drake, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Stephen Curry, Snoop Dogg, and many others appeared in the video where they shared congratulatory messages. “I am so grateful to witness this moment in history,” Rihanna stated in the video. Meanwhile, Drake echoed a similar sentiment, saying, “legendary night in NBA history.” Though 50 Cent feels similar to Rihanna and Drake, he admitted LeBron’s feat impacted his bottom line.
50 Cent Loses Money, No Thanks To LeBron
50 Cent expressed bittersweet feelings about LeBron James’ record-breaking performance. He, like many others, witnessed a moment in history on Tuesday night. However, the Lakers still lost against OKC during Tuesday’s game by 3 points and it appears that 50 Cent lost his bet as a result. “Hard work pays off, work hard but damn I wanted to see them win last night,” 50 wrote alongside a picture of the all-time leading scorer. “They fvcked up my tickets at the sports book. LOL,” he added, though he didn’t reveal how much he bet on the game.
Regardless, 50 Cent’s always shown love to LeBron James over the years. When Julius Erving left LeBron off of his list of all-time top two NBA teams, Fif immediately leaped to James’ defense. He said Erving’s comments “sound like some old hater shit” before vouching for James’ talents. “It takes a lot of work and talent to be @kingjames if that wasn’t true we would have 3 or 4 of him, we only got 1,” 50 wrote in the comment section of his post. Whether or not he won his bet last night, 50 Cent is among the rest of us who are excited about LeBron’s career milestone.
