    Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will celebrate of the 20th Anniversary of his 2003 debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', with the worldwide "The Final Lap Tour," which includes a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion on Friday, August 25.

    The massive tour, which starts on July 21 in Salt Lake City, Utah, will go to 39 cities across North America over the course of two months, including Houston on August 24. After a short break, 50 Cent will play 25 more dates across Europe during the fall.

    "The Final Lap Tour" will feature the rap icon performing dozens of fan-favorite and chart-topping hits, along with select tracks that he has not performed live in many years. The tour will also feature support from special guest Busta Rhymes on all dates and Jeremih supporting on all North American dates. Other special guests will be announced.

    50 Cent has only released five albums in his career - most recently 2014's Animal Ambition - but each has made at least the top 5 on the Billboard 200 charts, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide. Jackson has also expanded way beyond music, finding success as an entrepreneur with his Sire Spirits brands, as well as an actor, director, and executive producer.

    Verified Fan will be used for The Final Lap Tour to ensure more tickets get into the hands of fans. Fans in North America can register now through Sunday, May 7 at 10:59 pm for the Verified Fan presale. Fans who are selected to receive an access code will be able to participate in the Verified Fan presale starting on Wednesday, May 10.

    Hits for a Good Cause

    CultureMap's Alex Bentley competed in the Media League part of the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby.

    There was some friendly rivalry on and off the field at the 13th annual Reliant Home Run Derby at Riders Field in Frisco on May 14, where members of the Dallas Cowboys and a dozen local media members stepped up to the plate to raise money for North Texas charities.

    Before Cowboys fans showed up for the main event, the day kicked off with the 10th annual Reliant Media League, featuring 12 reporters from around Dallas-Fort Worth - including CultureMap's Alex Bentley - taking their hacks for a charity of their choice.

    On what was said to be one of the hottest days in the event's history, each media participant got 10 swings in the first of three rounds, earning $100 for every hit and $300 for every home run.

    Bentley, a first-time competitor, advanced to the second round with four others, and with a strong second-round performance - including a home run on his final swing - made the three-swing final round against WFAA reporter Sean Giggy.

    With Kristi Scales, sideline reporter for the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network, calling the action, Giggy narrowly edged Bentley by hitting two home runs compared to Bentley's two hits and one home run.

    Collectively, the media members raised $36,220 for local North Texas charities, including $4,335 by Giggy for his charity, Keeper of the Game, and $4,135 by Bentley for his charity, The Street Dog Project.

    The Street Dog Project is comprised of a small group of volunteers who, since 2016, have rescued hundreds of dogs from the streets and found them loving homes.

    Reached for comment, Bentley said: "For a 50-year-old man who hadn't touched a baseball bat in 16 years to even compete was amazing, but to be one of the finalists was beyond all my expectations. I'm very happy with my performance, but even happier that I was able to raise a lot of money for a good cause."

    Ten Cowboys players then took the field in front of hundreds of fans, trading in their pads for a bat for a chance at baseball glory.

    Participants included Bryan Anger, Brandon Aubrey, Jake Ferguson, DeMarvion Overshown, Dak Prescott, Luke Schoonmaker, Trent Sieg, Tyler Smith, Terence Steele, and Sam Williams.

    With each hit and home run earning a donation from Reliant, the teammates raised a total of $80,000 to benefit The Salvation Army of North Texas.

    Ferguson, the Cowboys tight end, was named the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby Champion with $20,600 raised and 22 home runs.

    As the winner, Ferguson also received a $10,000 bonus from Reliant for his chosen charity, the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.
