50 Cent has joked that Jay-Z and Kanye West could perform at his future wedding, continuing his long-running habit of teasing fellow hip-hop stars during media appearances. The rapper made the comments during an interview with NBC’s Today show while promoting his upcoming film Street Fighter, joking about the artists he would want to perform if he eventually gets married.
Asked about the possibility of getting married, 50 Cent said Jay-Z would perform at the wedding, before adding Kanye West to the imagined lineup. “Jay-Z is gonna do my wedding, he’s gonna perform. Him, Kanye too,” he said. He then added a qualification about West, joking that he would be invited “if he’s not banned at the time.”
The remarks followed a discussion about 50 Cent performing at the wedding of Indiana Pacers basketball star Tyrese Haliburton. The rapper used the conversation to make light of the idea of securing high-profile musical entertainment for his own wedding, although he did not announce any engagement or wedding plans.
The joke also brought renewed attention to 50 Cent’s history of public exchanges involving Jay-Z. The two rappers have been linked to a long-running rivalry, with 50 Cent frequently commenting on Jay-Z’s career, business moves and public image. During a separate conversation with comedian Andrew Schulz for Interview magazine, 50 Cent discussed Jay-Z’s marketing strategy and his ability to maintain relevance across different stages of his career.
In that interview, 50 Cent referenced Jay-Z’s appearance and hairstyle, including the rapper’s hair during his association with Tiffany & Co. He also discussed Jay-Z’s touring relationships and recent stadium performances, suggesting that strategic partnerships and major live events have helped reshape public perceptions of the rapper’s early music and commercial success.
Jay-Z returned to the stage in 2026 with a series of concerts at Yankee Stadium celebrating milestones in his catalogue, including the anniversaries of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint. The performances featured appearances from several major artists and drew renewed attention to his legacy as a recording artist. His career has also continued to expand through business ventures and entertainment partnerships.
During the Today interview, 50 Cent was also asked about Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly watching his Netflix documentary series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, while in prison. The rapper responded that the programme had reached audiences internationally and described it as a fair account of Combs. The documentary has been part of 50 Cent’s recent work as a producer, alongside his music and film projects.
50 Cent’s upcoming Street Fighter project has brought him back into the entertainment news cycle, with interviews covering both his acting work and his relationships with other figures in hip-hop. His comments about Jay-Z and West were delivered in a joking context, and neither artist was announced as a performer for any confirmed 50 Cent wedding.
The remarks add another episode to 50 Cent’s public commentary on prominent rappers, a recurring feature of his interviews and social media presence. His exchanges with Jay-Z have often mixed criticism of business decisions with humour, while his comments about West have frequently referenced the controversies and restrictions surrounding the artist’s public appearances.
