50 Cent Is Hilariously Blown Away By His ‘Expend4bles’ Poster, But Not At All For A Good Reason

by

50 Cent is busy with his The Final Lap Tour, but he’s even busier on Instagram. Earlier this week, 50 posted a backstage video where he playfully demands that people start throwing bras at him on stage, as they do at Drake. He also believes he deserves the same respect as Sylvester Stallone, his Expend4bles co-star.

“[Eyeballs emoji] WTF did we run out of money?” 50 Cent jokingly captioned his Instagram post of his Expend4bles promotional poster. “Why my head look like it ain’t connected to my body. I bet they are gonna make @officialslystallone look great. SMH.”

The fourth installment of The Expendables film franchise will hit theaters on September 22 — the same day that 50’s The Final Lap Tour will stage the finale of the North American leg in Toronto.

On Thursday night, August 24, The Final Lap Tour will hit the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Ahead of the show, 50 Cent showed love to Houston with three (and counting, probably) Instagram posts.

The first shows a custom World Series ring given to 50 by the Houston Astros. “Bro why the ASTROS gave me a official world championship ring today. I didn’t know what to say, I was bugging out what’s cooler then [sic] that [shrug emoji] H town love,” 50 wrote in the carousel’s caption.

Another Instagram carousel shows 50 wearing a custom baseball glove and Astros jersey signed by manager Dusty Baker and several players.

Is 50 Cent In ‘Expend4bles,’ The New ‘Expendables’ Movie?

50 Cent recently expressed regret over recreating his “In Da Club” video by hanging upside down during the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show in February 2022.

“I think that was a mistake for the Super Bowl,” 50 Cent told USA Today last month, shortly after announcing his massive The Final Lap Tour. “Everybody else walked in regular. The songs still went over, and they got a trophy, too. They all won an Emmy. They got the same thing I got, and I had to put myself upside down.”

50 Cent is also featured in an upside-down shot toward the end of the official trailer for Expend4bles, the long-awaited fourth installment of the Expendables film franchise.

Lionsgate’s official synopsis explains where 50 fits in:

“A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles. Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia. Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give ‘new blood’ a whole new meaning.”

50 Cent’s excitement for the film is palpable on his Instagram grid. He’s posted four times about it in the last day, including a promise that Expend4bles is “no joke” and an admission that he “kept hearing ‘If he dies, he dies’ in my head” when doing scenes with Lundgren.

The two-plus-minute trailer introduces 50 as “the new guy,” and he implores the team, “Remember this face. Don’t shoot it by accident.” He isn’t seen again until the 1:44 mark, where he’s either hanging upside inside a car with his gun or the shot is just flipped upside down for some unknown reason — maybe a subtle nod to “In Da Club.”
