50 Cent was honored with his own day in Houston and received a key to the city.

On Thursday, mayor Sylvester Turner presented the G-Unit boss with a key to the city during Houston’s annual Thanksgiving Day parade.

“This is somebody who is a philanthropist, rapper, artist, business person, you name it,” Mayor Turner said. “He used to live in another city up north, but found his way down south. This is one person who is now a Houstonian. I want to thank him.”

He continued, “He didn’t just come here to live. He has been helping out on so many causes in this city. Especially in our high schools. Turning our high school students into entrepreneurs with his G-Unity program. This city has been elevated because of his presence and so today we have the honor of saying to him, he’s our 2022 Grand Marshal. Anywhere you go, 550 buildings, use the key, the door will swing wide open.”

Houston’s City Council also presented 50 with a proclamation that declared November 24th as Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson day.

“Thank you, Mayor Turner. I just want to say it’s an honor to be here today. I’m really excited about being in Houston,” 50 said. “Since I made my way out here, Houstonians have embraced me with open arms and it just feels like a great place for me to expand G-Unity as a foundation.”

50 relocated to Houston in 2021 and has been influential in the city ever since. The rapper launched a G-Unity Business Lab to develop the entrepreneurial skills of high school students in the Houston Independent School District.

He also secured a partnership between his Sire Spirits brand with some of Houston’s sports teams like the Astros, Texans and Rockets. In addition, 50 recently hosted a Houston Tycoon comedy and music festival last August.
