I Stock Photos-City of Shreveport Louisiana
Shreveport, Louisiana—a city rich in history since its founding in 1836—has always been a cultural cornerstone of the Deep South. Known for its vibrant musical legacy and pivotal roles in both the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, Shreveport has faced its share of modern challenges, from economic downturns to population decline. But 50 Cent’s “Humor and Harmony” weekend showed that this city still has plenty of fight left in it, offering a glimpse of its potential for revitalization through entertainment, economic uplift, and social unity.
The four-day extravaganza was transformative. It wasn’t just about bringing icons like Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, and Master P to town—it was about creating a space where the community could unite in a safe, inclusive environment. The entire weekend passed without a single incident of violence, thanks to the meticulous planning and tight security measures 50 Cent put in place. His commitment to safety, combined with the event’s positive energy, turned those four days into a celebration of peace and togetherness—a rarity for events of this magnitude.
Economically, the weekend was a major win for Shreveport. Local hotels, restaurants, and vendors thrived as the city overflowed with visitors drawn not just by the star-studded lineup but by the opportunity to be part of something bigger. The event also created countless jobs, from event staff to local performers, directly impacting the community’s economy in a meaningful way.
The "Humor and Harmony" weekend delivered non-stop entertainment from start to finish. The festivities kicked off with a comedy night at the historic Shreveport Municipal Auditorium, where legends like Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, DC Young Fly, Michael Blackson, and Earthquake had the crowd in stitches. Meanwhile, musical performances by Muni Long, MoneyBagg Yo, Master P, 50 Cent, and the Power Universe cast set the stage for an unforgettable weekend.
Throughout the event, the star-studded basketball game stole the show, boasting an impressive lineup including, MVP Terrence Crawford, Skilla Baby, Clarissa Shields, Gillie Da King, and DaBaby, with so many more stars lighting up the court and the venue. In addition, the XXL New Talent Showcase featured rising stars like ScarLip and Louisiana’s own BigFellaZil, a local rapper and philanthropist. 50 Cent made it a point to highlight Shreveport’s up-and-coming artists, giving them a platform to shine.
But that wasn’t all. The weekend also featured 50 Fit—a free community fitness event—car shows led by DJ Envy, after-parties, pop-up restaurants, and pool parties. The sheer number of events packed into the weekend was mind-blowing, especially considering 50 Cent had only 90 days to make it happen. He didn’t just solve the problem; he set the standard. Understanding what mattered to both him and the Shreveport community, he delivered a weekend that went beyond entertainment.

As if that wasn’t enough, 50 Cent used the "Humor and Harmony" weekend to kick off the launch of his new film studio in Shreveport. But he didn’t stop there—he also announced the upcoming launch of 50 Cent Action, a free live TV channel that will deliver top-quality entertainment at no cost. This man isn’t just playing the game—he’s rewriting it.
The G-Dome, a temporary structure for many of the weekend’s events, was a hit, and although it’s leaving, 50 Cent is already planning a permanent one. The success of the weekend has sparked talk of what’s to come in 2025, with potential for an even bigger lineup and expanded events.

We caught up with several attendees of this game-changing weekend, including BusinessMovin, the content creator who’s been making waves with his viral reaction videos on hits like POWER BOOK II: GHOST and BMF. For him, the "Humor and Harmony" weekend wasn’t just another event—it was a moment to vibe with the actors who inspire his content and show respect to 50 Cent, the visionary behind it all. “50 had Shreveport feeling like a mix of Vegas, Miami, and Houston,” he said. “No crime, just pure love and peace.”
