Turns out immigration nixed Ciara’s $2milli Kazakhstan performance, so she headed to Las Vegas to watch her ballin’ boyfriend 50 Cent perform instead.
We got the following email from a member of Ciara’s tour:
Heads up Bossip im currently on tour with Ciara and we just left Africa right before New Years then midway to Kazahkstan, they didn’t GREEN light our Visas so the performance was cancelled.
Sounds like Cici made the best of the situation. With her performance cancelled she was free to go see her “friend” 50.Cici was spotted at Vegas’ Pure nightclub inside Caesar’s Palace on New Year’s eve celebrating with friends while 50 performed.
As the last hour of 2009 ticked by on screens around the five-year-old club, a steady stream of guests and VIPs poured into the venue. Dressed in a sleek black ensemble of shine and lace topped with a structured blazer and shoulder pads, 24-year-old songstress Ciara stalked the red carpet outside Pure with a crew of female friends waiting to accompany her inside.
“I never really go out that often,” said the singer who is reportedly dating 50 Cent, “so I’m just excited to go out and have a good time and enjoy myself.”
50 started his performance on the Pure roof deck, welcoming 2010 with his suggestively titled song “Have a Baby By Me, Baby, Be a Millionaire.” About half an hour past midnight, the concert continued in the club’s main room.
“2010! We gonna ring it in right,” the rapper called from the stage, now out of the black brocade jacket he sported for his walk down the red carpet and wearing a white jacket and his standard issue Yankees hat.
Standing next to boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr, who obligingly held up a stack of cash, 50 launched into the first song of his roughly 45-minute set, “I Got Money.” The pair played off each other throughout 50′s 13-song tour through his hits with so much chemistry, Mayweather might consider joining the music man on his next tour. When 50 called out “I get money!”, Mayweather held up his own pile of bills, fanning them out for all to see. It was like a beautiful interpretive dance, with Benjamins.
“In Da Club,” “Candy Shop,” “Magic Stick,” “Hate It Or Love It,” “P-I-M-P” and “If I Can’t” — the set list read like a track list for his greatest hits project. Surrounded by bodyguards — getting shot nine times would make anyone paranoid — 50 Cent plowed through his four-album catalog, and all the while a dapper Mayweather danced alongside, flipping off the crowd and even making it rain what looked like $100s for a moment above the packed club.
After performing for nearly an hour, 50 Cent closed out his set in an auditory hail of gunfire with the sound of shots echoing out of the speakers, as if to remind the crowd of the street legitimacy behind the now wealthy musician.
“Party time,” 50 said before the spotlight suddenly cut out and he disappeared into the crowd encircled by burly men in black.
*Shrugs* Guess if she can’t get the money, at least she got some love…
