HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Welcome to Houston, 50!
Famous rapper, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, is certainly making his way around the Houston area just a few days after he announced his recent move to the city
Several fans have already reported running into 50, and they have the selfies to prove it.
That’s not the only thing he’s being doing around town.
On Saturday, the rapper turned businessman was crowned the Best of Show in the 2021 Houston Livestock and Rodeo Reserve Grand Champion’s International Wine Competition for his champagne, Le Chemin du Roi.
“When they told me I won, I almost fainted. I was really excited,” said Jackson. “I am very proud of this.”
According to Rodeo officials, Demetra and Frank Jones, and Leticia and Stephen Trauber, purchased 50’s wine for a whopping $160,000.
“They told me everybody who’s somebody in Houston is at the @rodeohouston,” 50 wrote on Instagram. “I won reserve grand champion best in show.”
Rodeo officials said this year’s competition drew over 2,600 entries from 18 different countries, including Argentina, France, Italy and Spain.
Jackson was recently welcomed to the city with a series of laughable photoshopped memes made by Houston residents which appeared to place him at different landmarks around town.
Back in 2020, Jackson was visiting the Bayou City to promote his champagne, Le Chemin du Roi.
