50 Cent Steals the Spotlight: Rap Icon Throws Out First Pitch and Surprises Fans With Epic On-Field Performance of ‘In Da Club’ Alongside the Viral Savannah Bananas in Wild, Must-See Baseball Spectacle
**September 27, 2025 | Savannah, GA** — What started as an ordinary baseball night turned into an unforgettable spectacle of music, dance, and viral entertainment, as rap legend **50 Cent** stunned a packed crowd at Grayson Stadium by not only throwing out the ceremonial first pitch—but delivering a surprise performance of his iconic hit **“In Da Club”** alongside the wildly popular **Savannah Bananas**.
Known for their circus-style baseball shows that blend Harlem Globetrotter-style antics with Major League-worthy talent, the Savannah Bananas have become a social media sensation for their *Banana Ball* games, featuring choreographed dances, mid-inning TikTok challenges, and fan-first entertainment. But even by their over-the-top standards, **last night’s appearance by 50 Cent** sent the energy into another universe.
The evening began with a classic Bananas twist: the team took the field wearing matching yellow jerseys and custom “G-Unit” sweatbands in honor of the special guest. Then, to the crowd’s astonishment, a luxury SUV was driven right onto the field as the stadium lights dimmed and fog machines fired. Emerging from the backseat in a black varsity jacket and signature swagger was none other than **Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson**.
As fans erupted, 50 walked confidently to the mound to throw out the first pitch—an act he famously *botched* in 2014. But this time? He nailed it. A smooth fastball straight down the pipe.
“I had to redeem myself,” 50 laughed in a post-game interview. “You can’t go viral for a bad throw *twice*. This time I came correct.”
But the real magic came moments later.
As the top of the second inning wrapped up, the PA system blared the unmistakable opening beat of **“In Da Club.”** The crowd roared as 50 Cent re-emerged—not alone, but **surrounded by the entire Savannah Bananas roster**, each in coordinated dance formation. What followed was a fully choreographed performance of the 2003 smash hit, complete with backflips, confetti cannons, and a dance-off between 50 Cent and Bananas star **Bill LeRoy**.
“I’ve done a lot of shows,” 50 said afterward, “but performing *on a baseball field*, with dancers in banana costumes, was definitely a first.”
The performance has already gone viral across social media, with clips on TikTok and Instagram racking up millions of views within hours. Fans are calling it “the collab we never knew we needed.”
Savannah Bananas owner **Jesse Cole** later revealed the event had been months in the making.
“50 was all in from day one,” said Cole, donning his signature yellow tuxedo. “He said, ‘Let’s make history.’ And we did.”
While no plans have been confirmed, insiders say the Bananas are now in talks to collaborate with other major artists—including rumors of **Snoop Dogg**, **Megan Thee Stallion**, and even **Post Malone** making future guest appearances.
As for 50 Cent? He left the field with a grin, waving to fans as fireworks lit up the Georgia sky.
“Baseball’s cool,” he said. “But Banana Ball? That’s gangsta.”
