50 Cent blasted Hurricane Chris for his video accusing the TV mogul of not having any New Orleans artists perform at his Humor and Harmony Festival earlier this month.
50 Slams Hurricane Chris for Saying No New Orleans Artists Performed in his Festival
On Sunday (August 18), 50 Cent hopped on X, ex-Twitter, and blasted Hurricane Chris for saying he hasn't booked any New Orleans artists to perform at his annual Humor & Harmony Festival in Shreveport, La.
In Hurricane Chris' fiery Instagram video, which you can watch below, the “Halle Berry” rapper expressed his disappointment that the 50s festival didn't feature any New Orleans artists.
“Hurricane Flex [smiley face open mouth emoji] boy ya s**t is wack, the f**k you think you are
@FredoBang [face with raised eye emoji] yes, not played at all on my ride. LOL,” Fif wrote in a post in response to Chris.
Despite his harsh criticism, Hurricane Chris is wrong, as there were quite a few NON-rappers who performed at the event.
New Orleans legend Master P rocked the mic as well as rising rappers NO Big Fella Zil and Flamefari. Even Baton Rouge, La. rhymes. Fredo Bang performed at the festival.
Responding to Chris' claims, Fredo Bang said, “Who am I then?” in a video on his Instagram Story.

Hurricane Chris Releases Angry Video Criticizing '50s Humor & Harmony Festival
50 Cent's attack on Hurricane Chris comes from the 35-year-old rapper's video on his Instagram account. In the clip, Chris was under the impression that no New Orleans artists performed at Fif's Humor & Harmony Festival, which is not true.
The “A Bay Bay” rapper was particularly upset that 50 Cent reportedly paid Shreveport police $500,000 for security at the festival. Chris felt the money should have gone to booking local New Orleans acts.
Along with the video, Hurricane Chris wrote a lengthy message criticizing the 50 and its presence in Shreveport, Louisiana.
“The people around @50cent are from New York, even those who live in Shreveport trying to keep a person who could really make a difference,” he wrote. “I challenge you to let me show you our community and the things that the rotten people around you have hidden, we are the fourth worst educated state in America, murder happens everyday and our youth are lost, none of the people around you don't know what the city needs or even fake non-profits, but that's another story.”
“We love you, but you've been led astray by people who have no access to the community except that downtown can name my city's neighborhoods,” he continued. “Me omboe yu smart bro everyone use uuf**k with cats like @tonyyayo and @unclemurda u must be 100.”
