Hurricane Chris Criticizes 50 Cent Over Artist Exclusion in Shreveport Festival

Hurricane Chris Expresses Frustration

Hurricane Chris had some strong words for 50 Cent after the rapper-turned-mogul hosted a four-day event in Shreveport, Louisiana, without including any local Louisiana legends on the lineup. The event, called Humor & Harmony, ran from August 8th to August 11th and featured comedy shows, parties, concerts, celebrity basketball games, and car shows.

Concerns Over Local Representation

Artists like Keith Sweat and Flo Rida headlined the concerts, but this didn’t sit well with Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris. He took to social media to express his frustration, accusing 50 Cent of exploiting the state. “How the fck are you supposed to be a part of hip-hop, and you throw a motherfcking concert in Louisiana without booking any Louisiana legends? You didn’t put any money in Louisiana legends’ pockets...” Chris exclaimed.

Call for Inclusion

Hurricane Chris also criticized those who supported 50 Cent’s festival for not encouraging him to include more Louisiana artists. He stated, “Yu’all gonna let this man come down here and show no love to Louisiana?” highlighting the need for local talent in such events.

An Important Message

Chris's comments went further as he called out the people around 50 Cent for not understanding Louisiana’s cultural needs. Despite the concert lineup including Louisiana artists like Fredo Bang and Master P, Chris advocated for broader representation, emphasizing, “Shreveport has our own artists.”
