You’re a beleaguered Baltic nation, looking for a major artist to brighten things up. So who do you get? 50 Cent, of course! Hired to help celebrate the country’s new phone network, Fiddy became the first “high-profile” artist to perform in the country’s capitol Pristina since Kosovo ended its hostilities with Serbia in 1999, playing in front of 25,000 fans. “They live in the same type of environment that on a smaller level, we are subjected to where I’m from,” he said. “I know exactly what happens when the guns come out. Maybe that’s why they identify with me.” Previously on this European jaunt: 50 Cent became a YouTube sensation thanks to his alleged “yayo” video from Croatia, and then confused the nation of Norway by proclaiming “file-sharing doesn’t hurt artists.”
