Jaylen Brown makes bold 50 Cent claim after Anthony Edwards performance

Videos from a recent party showed Anthony Edwards taking over the stage and channeling 50 Cent. Edwards performed “I’m Supposed to Die Tonight” nearly word for word, reaching deep into the New York rapper’s catalog rather than choosing one of his recognizable singles.

That decision clearly impressed 50 Cent. He reposted the clip on Instagram and praised Edwards for performing three songs without leaning on commercial records.

“My man set the vibe straight did 3 joints no commercial sh-t! ANT MAN this sh-t made my day,” 50 wrote.

Edwards answered with respect, writing, “Had to take em back OG.”

Jaylen Brown makes his case for 50 Cent

Fans enjoyed the exchange, but Jaylen Brown soon gave the comment section another reason to talk. He jumped in with a bold declaration about 50 Cent’s standing in rap history.

“50 top 3 ever. No glaze,” Brown wrote.

Calling 50 Cent one of the three greatest rappers ever will naturally invite debate. Even so, Brown probably would not stand alone in making that case. 50’s peak, influence and enduring popularity have kept him in hip-hop conversations long after his run as a regular hitmaker ended.

Brown’s comment also appears consistent with his own musical taste. A clip circulating on X shows him performing a reworked version of “21 Questions” with a friend in what resembles a homemade music video.

Edwards knew more than the obvious hits, and Brown offered an all-time ranking without hesitation. Together, their reactions illustrate the hold 50 Cent still has on a younger generation of NBA stars. He may not dominate the charts like he once did, but his music still moves a party and earns admiration across generations.

That is not nostalgia. That is staying power.
