Hurricane Chris recently opened up about why he called out 50 Cent for not featuring local artists at his big event in Shreveport.
Chris stressed that for locals, 50 Cent is considered “one of us,” and the community hoped he would showcase the city’s talent. Although he personally couldn’t attend due to a prior commitment, he emphasized that Shreveport artists performing under the bridge, separate from the main event, missed the spotlight that big names could offer. This lack of exposure, Chris argued, contradicted the festival’s local spirit.
Hurricane Chris claimed to be a better rapper than 50 Cent, sparking a heated debate. The discussion was initially focused on 50 Cent’s significant investments in Shreveport, Louisiana. Despite appreciating 50’s contributions, Chris expressed frustration over 50 Cent “canceling Ratchet City,” a moniker deeply ingrained in Shreveport’s hip-hop culture. The tension escalated when DJ Vlad brought up 50 Cent’s notable achievements in the music industry, including the iconic album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” Chris responded passionately, asserting, “He don’t make better songs than me,” and claiming he could outperform 50 Cent in modern music production.
