RAPPER 50 Cent is the latest celebrity to sponsor a British football team.<\/p>\n
The American artist, real name Curtis Jackson III, has sponsored a Welsh girls team.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
AFC Rumney's under-14s from Cardiff will have his and collaborators G-Unit's names on their away shirt and tracksuits this season.<\/p>\n
The surprise sponsorship deal was agreed after one of the team's parents worked with 50 Cent on a recent tour.<\/p>\n
They were then encouraged by other parents to ask if he could sponsor the side.<\/p>\n
"He said he would ask the question – worst case scenario was [50 Cent] would have just said no," manager Richie Brown told the BBC.<\/p>\n
"Thankfully he didn't, he agreed to it. He sponsored our away kit first of all, and then we were a little bit cheeky.<\/p>\n "We asked for a little bit more, and he sponsored us again for our tracksuits."<\/p>\n The new kits will be worn for the first time next week in AFC Rumney's first away match of the season.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "We're massively appreciative of everything he's doing for us right now. We love the support."<\/p>\n 50 Cent is not the first celebrity to attach themselves to a club in Wales.<\/p>\n Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have owned League Two side Wrexham since 2020.<\/p>\n "I think Ryan Reynolds has got a bit of competition now," Brown joked.<\/p>\n "I'm sure the community up in Wrexham is absolutely buzzing with what Ryan Reynolds has done, and hopefully 50 Cent can have that same kind of impact with us down here."<\/p>\n<\/picture>ARGY-BARGY <\/span><\/p>\n
