50 Cent becomes sponsor of Welsh U14s team – after cheeky parent asked him

Rapper 50 Cent has become the sponsor of AFC Rumney's U14s girls side after a cheeky parent asked if he wanted to sponsor the side.

The under-14s team based in Cardiff will have his name and his hip-hop collaborators G-Unit now emblazoned on their away kit – with the girls "buzzing". Manager Richie Brown explained to the BBC that one of the parents had been working with the rapper on a recent tour.

And other parents had joked he should ask for sponsorship. Brown told the BBC: "He said he would ask the question – worst case scenario was [50 Cent] would have just said no. 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."

Brown added: "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. We're massively appreciative of everything he's doing for us right now. We love the support."

"Not saying I'm not here for it but I'm just confused as to why," one fan joked. While a second added: "I really need to understand how these celebs find these clubs & decide to sponsor then!"

"So random… but great too," a third said. And another added: "I like the 50 cent songs but what does he know about soccer…"

50 Cent isn't the first North American superstar to invest in a Welsh sports club either. He follows Hollywood A-lister Ryan Reynolds and Ryan McElhenney, who famously own League Two side Wrexham.
