NHL fans' confusion over 50 Cent hyping up the Las Vegas crowd ahead of the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup triumph over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday has been explained, with the rapper's spirit company landing a deal with the franchise.
The Golden Knights won 9-3 on the night and 4-1 across the series to seal the franchise's first Stanley Cup since its arrival in the NHL for the 2017-18 season. And before clinching victory, rapper 50 Cent was at the Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena to help get the crowd going.
The New York native donned a sparkly Golden Knights jersey and hat. Fifty Cent then cranked the team's patented siren with Vegas' mascot Chance, a Gila monster.
