50 Cent has sponsored a Welsh under-14s girls soccer team.
The American rapper has become the new sponsor of AFC Rumney, a girls' soccer team based in Cardiff, Wales.
According to a report by BBC News, the team's manager, Richie Brown, revealed that one of the members' fathers had worked with 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, during a recent tour. He was asked by other parents if he could "get some sponsorship out of him for us".
"He said he would ask the question - worst case scenario was (50 Cent) would have just said no," Richie told the outlet. "Thankfully he didn't. He agreed to it. He sponsored our away kit first of all, and then we were a little bit cheeky. We asked for a little bit more, and he sponsored us again for our tracksuits."
The team is set to debut their new kit, which prominently features the rapper's name and his hip-hop collaborators G-Unit, during their first away game of the season next week.
"We're going to get a few photos taken and sent over to him, then hopefully he can give us a good luck video or something to acknowledge it all," Richie said, referring to the musician. "We're massively appreciative of everything he's doing for us right now. We love the support."
The In da Club rapper is one of several stars who have worked with a sports team, including Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney who famously own the Welsh soccer club Wrexham FC.
