The shooting schedule for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" — a film based on the life of the artist formerly known as Curtis Jackson — recently changed and will now conflict with the July 2 show on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, publicist Yvette Gail said. Live 8 publicist Elizabeth Freund on Wednesday said additional announcements were planned for Thursday to firm up the show's lineup, which includes host Will Smith and Bon Jovi, the Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z, Kaiser Chiefs, Keith Urban, Maroon 5, P. Diddy, Rob Thomas, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Wonder. The Philadelphia show is one of five concerts aimed at raising awareness of poverty in developing countries, all taking place July 2, days before G-8 leaders meet in Scotland; the other concert sites are London, Paris, Berlin and Rome.

Members funky Posted June 18, 2005 Members Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 its not that he just can't sing when the performs are LIVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefCEM Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 shame on you 50!!!! He's just a looser. Instead of supporting a big event he's making a movie about his image life. :uhh: btw, its also a good move, so 50 cant get embarresed when he sees Will rocking the crowd in front of him. it could bring his image into danger when ppl see the difference between him and Will performing on stage...

Jazzy Julie Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 im glad hes not doing it bcoz we dont have to listen while we wait for Will, but thats bad to pull out of a charity concert for some crappy movie (ive seen a clip and believe me, its gonna be crappy, i saw him act and ouch!)

KevTastic Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I hear Will Smith's the host of the US Live8 Concert (Im guessing you already know this) They dont need 50, that suckers played out. Will would put him to shame anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFly Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) I don't really have anything negative to say. I don't know exactly what the circumstances are so I'll reserve judgement until we have the complete story. This could very well be no fault of his own. It's quite likely that the filming at a certain location can only take place on that day or any number of other issues. Guys, don't be too quick to speak in judgement when we don't know all the information. Incidentally, he's been at 0% respect in a lot of your guys eyes for a long time. Shouldn't he be in the negatives now? I see a few "I have 0 respect for him now" expressions as if he had 1 or 2 percent prior to this. LOL... just asking...

mfuqua23 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Perhaps 50 Cent felt bad being the only wack act there. At least Diddy can dance. (or so some say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a few "I have 0 respect for him now" expressions as if he had 1 or 2 percent prior to this. LOL... just asking... ← Yeh i did have some respect for him doing the show and trying to help make a difference. If shooting could only be done in a location on that day for a specific reason wouldn't they have known that ages ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to provide excuses, but at the same time, we don't want to jump to conclusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
