Singer Chris Brown is currently in the middle of his ongoing Breezy Bowl XX tour and performed in Manchester on June 15 at the Co-op Live. What caught fans' attention was Brown bringing out rapper 50 Cent for a surprise guest performance at the Sunday show.
According to the Manchester Evening News, in the middle of the show, Brown addressed his audience and said:
"My brother flew all the way out here, to celebrate his birthday, my brother came out here, he says he's going to turn the f*** up."
Shortly after this, rapper 50 Cent appeared on the stage, shocking the audience. Cent was further seen giving a hug to Chris Brown before continuing the performance. The outlet reported that the rapper went to Brown's concert shortly after he was done with his headline performance at Parklife on June 14.
The audience cheered while 50 Cent performed his 2003 hit track Many Men (Wish Death). Cent appeared on this show amid his ongoing European tour. This includes a stop at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on July 3, 2025. Meanwhile, Chris Brown announced the ongoing tour in March 2025.
Brown kicked off the European leg of the tour in June and is expected to move ahead with the North American leg next month in July.
