TRNSMT’s Friday headliner 50 Cent enjoyed a night out in Glasgow on Thursday, July 10.
He spent the evening at popular hotel and bowling alley Vega in the city centre.
Fiddy, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was staying at a newly refurbished hotel in the city centre with the rest of his crew from G Unit, who went to Vega to enjoy a few games of bowling ahead of the big gig on Friday.
The rapper and his friends enjoyed crispy fried chicken, mac and cheese and skin on fries in the sky-high bowling alley that comes with views of the whole city. Vega’s brand new chef Garry Rae and the staff reportedly couldn’t believe it when he turned up at the alley, which can be hired out for exclusive events.
Fifty is also said to have been on a trip to the gym whilst in Glasgow. The rapper has stayed at the Radisson Blue hotel in the past, and is known for partying wherever he performs.
Those heading into TRNSMT for 50’s set can expect hits such as In Da Club, Candy Shop and 21 Questions, as the A-lister takes to the stage in Glasgow Green.

Fifty ‘Fiddy’ Cent will follow the likes of The Script, Wet Leg, and Schoolboy Q, who are all performing on the first day of the 2025 festival.
The rapper recently pledged his loyalty to Celtic FC and said he planned to visit Parkhead during his stay in the Dear Green Place.
Fifty’s Hollywood actor pal and Celtic superfan Gerard Butler has reportedly inspired Fifty’s support of the team, and the pair have even planned to go to a Hoops game together.
Paisley born actor Butler and the Candy Shop rapper starred together in the 2018 blockbuster Den of Thieves and became good pals during filming. According to 50, the Scots actor’s love for Celtic was impossible to ignore.
According to SunSport, the rapper said: “Man, Gerard is crazy about Celtic. I don’t think I have ever met somebody more in love with their team.
“We are going to watch a Celtic game together. That guy won’t miss a game even when he’s shooting. He must go up another level when he’s actually at the stadium.”
The rapper added: “If I went to watch a game in Scotland, it would have to be Celtic.
“He would never forgive me if I went to watch anybody else.”
50 Cent is to take to the TRNSMT on Friday, as the festival’s first headliner of the year.
Tomorrow will see Biffy Clyro, Fontaines D.C., and The Kooks take to the stage, while Sunday’s finale will welcome Snow Patrol, Gracie Abrams and former Little Mix star Jade.
