A video has gone viral online of an elderly woman dancing at a 50 Cent concert—and it's been shared by the rapper himself.
The 48-year-old MC and actor has been playing concerts across the U.K. as part of his worldwide The Final Lap Tour 2023, which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'."
While a crowd of 15,000 watched the star go through his biggest hits on Tuesday night in Birmingham, there was one fan who stood out above the rest. The viral clip shows the woman bopping along to 50 Cent's 2007 song "Ayo Technology," which featured Justin Timberlake.
The rapper posted the video to his TikTok account on Tuesday, and by Wednesday, it had received 1.2 million views and 164,000 likes. He also posted it to his X account, formerly Twitter, with the caption: "The coolest person at my show tonight by far, she was rocking wit me. Birmingham second show. LOL."
Newsweek reached out to a 50 Cent representative for comment via email Wednesday.
In the clip, the woman can be seen waving her arms, slowly bouncing up and down with a grin on her face and a crowd of people behind her.
People took to the comment section on TikTok and X to praise the woman for not letting her age stop her from enjoying herself.
"Vibe don't have an age," one person wrote.
"Grandma thuggin, she still has it in her! Love it," said another.
"She was too cute...age is nothing but a number... @50cent brings all ages out!!!" a third commented.
A fourth added: "Never too late to have fun."
The UK leg of 50 Cent's tour comes right after Madonna played multiple sold-out nights in London's O2 Arena in October as part of her Celebration Tour, marking 40 years in the industry.
She and 50 Cent have famously feuded in the past and although it seemed to have calmed down recently, the rapper resumed the conflict in October by likening her to a bug.
He uploaded a picture of the music superstar to Instagram and made the comparison between Madonna's behind and an ant's, sharing an image of the two together.
"👀who the f*** did this? She's rich how the hell she didn't get it fixed 🤨I want the f****** doctors name right now. I mean damn it man! LOL," he wrote in the caption
While the post currently can't be seen on 50 Cent's Instagram account, he later shared an article from TMZ about the bug comparison he made. In the caption, the rapper wrote: "Ok so now TMZ is gonna act like they don't see her, on stage looking like she just s*** herself. 🤨 I scratch my head, when I see a bad BBL where the f*** is the person's friends when they need them? She rich, she can fix it, FIX IT!"
