Overview
50 CENT is set to pay tribute to Michael Jackson on what would have been the King of Pop's 51st birthday.
The rapper has signed up to perform at a theme park benefit show in New Jersey on August 29 which will help raise cash for the rapper's G-Unity Foundation.
He also revealed that he has dedicated his latest mixtape, Forever King, to the late pop superstar - and changed the project's artwork and some of the rhymes and lyrics to honour Jackson, who died on 25 June (09).
50 Cent said, "When Michael Jackson passed, there was a piece of artwork that had 'King of Pop, King of Rap' with me and his pictures. That's what gave me the concept of the artwork."
The new mixtape samples actor Vincent Price's maniacal laugh from Thriller and a revamp of the Jackson 5's I Wanna Be Where You Are on the track Michael Jackson Freestyle, which chronicles the life of a drug dealer.
