50 Cent couldn’t help himself laughing at a viral clip of R&B singer Tyrese auditioning in front of producer Jermaine Dupri for a possible spot on the upcoming Usher/Chris Brown R&B Tour.
The video, first shared by Jermaine Dupri, shows Tyrese dancing on a city street corner as steam rises around him, creating a dramatic, almost cinematic backdrop. The performance builds until Tyrese turns to the camera and speaks to Chris Brown and Usher directly.
Before the clip abruptly ends, Tyrese addresses the two R&B icons with a message. He says, “Chris Brown. Usher. Y’all know what it is. Y’all know what happens with an artist on that level.”
Dupri leaned into the humor while posting the clip. “Tyrese really out auditioning to open for Usher Raymond and Chris Brown,” he wrote. “37 mins I danced in smoke. Waiting for my call back!”
The caption blurred the line between a joke and a real pitch, fueling speculation about whether Tyrese is serious. Tyrese and Usher’s careers have crossed paths several times during their rise in the 90s.
Enter 50 Cent, who did not hold back his reaction. “LOL 😆😆😆 Yo you see this 🥷🏾 HAHAHAHAAH,” he wrote on Instagram, amplifying the moment for his millions of followers.
50’s response framed the clip as pure entertainment, rather than a legitimate audition. The mogul’s comments were flooded with mixed reactions to the clip.
The viral exchange arrives as anticipation builds for the upcoming Usher and Chris Brown tour, with tickets going on sale on April 27. Tyrese’s dramatic street performance, combined with Dupri’s playful framing, turned the moment into instant social media fodder.
50 Cent’s reactions are known to create serious buzz for talent. Tyrese’s becoming an addition to the tour remains unknown at the moment.
