50 Cent has expressed enthusiasm after comedian DeRay Davis suggested he should host the upcoming Emmy Awards. In a recent interview with TMZ, Davis praised the rapper and actor’s comedic talent, stating, “I think 50 Cent should host the Emmys. He’s funny … and deserving. Why not?”
Upon hearing Davis’ endorsement, 50 Cent took to Instagram to share his excitement, saying, “@deraydavis this is so cool, you saying this made my day. 2025 is gonna be the year. Turn down for what!”
Although 50 Cent lacks formal experience in hosting awards shows, he is no stranger to performing, having recently completed his first concert residency in Las Vegas. However, his residency received mixed reviews, including a particularly scathing critique from a local blogger who felt that the performance lacked energy and engagement.
In response to the criticism, 50 Cent defended his performance style, explaining that he offers a different type of show compared to artists like Usher and Chris Brown. He commented, “They said the audio was bad… I said, ‘Bitch, you was supposed to say some shit like, ’50 be doing this shit.’” He emphasized that his performances are unique and don’t require the elaborate choreography or visuals typical of other artists.
As the Emmys approach, 50 Cent’s potential role as host has become a topic of interest, with fans curious to see if he will bring his signature style to the awards stage.
