50 Cent performed live with his crew (G-Unit) at the Biel hall near downtown Beirut. Haifa's Hollywood friend, Cuba Gooding Junior was also in attendance.
Many Lebanese are obsessed with the hip hop culture. In recent years some of the largest New Years parties in Beirut were themed "Candy Shop" (named after one of 50 Cent's popular tracks) and "Bling Bling".
Prior to Beirut, Fiddy performed in Germany and Portugal. His next stop is Athens, Greece.
50 Cent achieved multi-platinum success with his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre, selling around 25 million albums worldwide. He is known for his 'gangsta' image, and prides himself on having been shot nine times and surviving the ordeal.
The gorgeous Haifa Wehbe became a model at a very young age and won the title of "Miss South Lebanon" at age sixteen. Haifa's latest track, Wawa Wawa has become an instant hit in Lebanon and throughout the Arab world.
