50 Cent Wows Dreamville Crowd With Diddy Diss, and DaBaby Surprise
Response to the announcement last week that 50 Cent would replace Chris Brown in the Dreamville Festival lineup was met with tepid reaction.
But the reaction to his actual performance at Dreamville was far different, as the packed crowd at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh went crazy for the hip hop legend’s secondary headliner set on night one of Dreamville 2024.
Serving as a setup for the big headliner of the night, SZA, 50 came out guns blazing with much of the same material he’s been using on his own solo tour lately.
He did throw a couple of surprises out though. The first was a guest appearance by DaBaby, who lit up the performance with a couple of songs. It shouldn’t have come as too big a surprise though, as DaBaby has said frequently he idolizes his mentor, and has showed up in guest spots before.
50 Cent dropped another surprise, continuing the trolling he’s been doing of P. Diddy online. With legal trouble swarming around the hip hop mogul, 50 has been sending insults his way repeatedly. And Saturday night was no exception, as he declared to the crowd, “I love you brother, No P. Diddy.”

Night two of Dreamville will feature headlining sets from Nicki Minaj and J. Cole. There are sure to be plenty of surprises though, as Cole has become famous for those around here.
