Am I the only person who thinks it is strange that Verizon mobile dropped Akon for dancing with a girl who provided falsified information that stated she was 18 (therefore he legitimately assumned she was that old) and pushing a fan off a stage he shouldn't have been on, but Virgin Mobile has no problems attaching the G-Unit brand (in all their splendor) to their name?  Akon was messin' with the wrong cell phone provider!!!

Talk about being globally known....These are places that most other artists have never thought about going....

This will increase the overall sales of there albums and ticket sales will of course be sold out....

I doubt they will get robbed like whats his name did....I am sure that they have hired some serious security staff.....and if you got 50 Cent money then you got some serious security.....He spent $2+ million pounds in UK currency for security for his European tour....

Damn, this new G-Unit album is going to be off the chain.....I wonder if he will bring AKON alongside with him.....Since AKON is pretty much well known around Africa...

So after this tour 50 Cent should be much closer to his Billionaire status...
