50 Cent

Yesterday 50 Cent gave a concert in the football stadium of Pristina. He was the first famous Western artist to visit Kosovo ever. There was a lot of excitement about his arrival. On chat groups of the Serbian website B92 Kosovo Albanians teased Serbs that he had not gone to Belgrade.

The new telephone provider IPKO organized the concert. A ticket was 5 euro. 4,50 Euro of this amount could be reimbursed in the form of mobile phone credit. In that case the damage of ticket to the concert was only 50 Cent.

Since I have been actively following 50 Cent's career for several years now, I was going totally crazy when I heard that Billy had arranged VIP cards. The VIP room was open air, from dilapidated concrete and filled to the brim with drunken male adolescents. It was 5 degrees below zero and the wind was blowing harder than on a Dutch dike. Nensi, Donika and I danced a little on the 0,5 square meter of stage and discussed in length the absence of toilets. We waited until the star came on stage; I made some pictures (see above) and then left as soon as possible home. We seem to have missed a magnificent fireworks show.
