50 Cent has been doing big things with his Sire Spirits brand. Branson Cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi Champagne are under this umbrella, and overall, they are both fan favorites. In fact, Fif has been able to get these brands into arenas around the NBA. The Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Houston Rockets all have Sire Spirits as options at their facilities. Subsequently, 50 has been trying to get his brand into all 30 NBA arenas. Recently, he came one step closer to accomplishing that as he signed a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Consequently, fans at the Target Center will be able to purchase Sire Spirits products. Moreover, the 200-level of the arena will even get a brand-new bar containing cocktails made with Fif's various properties. Overall, this is a huge deal for the legendary artist, who continues to build an impressive empire. Additionally, it should be noted that there is a philanthropic angle to this deal. Through the G-Unity Foundation, 50 Cent and the Timberwolves organization will get to host basketball clinics for the youth.
