LeBron James Sends Bold Request To 50 Cent

LeBron James is much more than a basketball player. He is engaged in a few projects off the court. But, do you know that LeBron is also interested in good music? Of course you do. LeBron knows how to recognize good music, and this time he is off to recognizing the best piece of 40 Cent.

50 Cent’s music is something LeBron James looks forward to. The musician posted a throwback picture of himself and Nas on his Instagram account. LeBron used the opportunity to go off the topic and even made a bold request.

“Re-release ‘Power of A Dollar!’ Straight flames!” LeBron commented, referring to the rapper’s 2000 album, Power of the Dollar. The album was never officially released, but it was definitely a big deal.

We can’t really tell if 50 cent would listen to LeBron’s request. But, his comment was brilliant. “Damn boy you real be knowing this music shit for real,” he wrote.

LeBron knows music. Ohio-based producer Franky Wahoo knows it best. LeBron and Kevin Durant made a piece long time ago, and it was kept under the wraps until recently.

“There was nothing I could do, a lot of celebrities retweeted it, comedians retweeted it, Ellen retweeted it,” Wahoo told Noisey. “So I was like, I can’t feel bad now. It kept going viral and Paul finally called back saying “yeah don’t leak it we kinda wanna do something with” it because there’s a 2K game coming out [with LeBron on it] and there are different things we could implement this in without actually putting the track out. So they may have put it in a 2K commercial as background music but they didn’t want the song to be downloadable or streamable.

“So for two years, they went back and forth with me. They’d come up with an angle like ‘oh we’re gonna try to do it on this blase skit’ and weeks of email with them and I’m like ‘what the hell man.’ Then I’d see Cleveland DJs playing it at clubs. So I talk with my manager and he’s like ‘there’s no paperwork on this that they bought this off you or anything.’ The big thing was like one of the friends [of LeBron] that’s a DJ here, we were scared that they were gonna publish [the remake] without crediting me, which could easily happen.”
