50 Cent asked judge to bail dealer for European tour

Rapper 50 Cent has been revealed to have supported a bail application for a dealer named Hassan, who was seeking to travel for a European tour. The application was ultimately denied by the judge.

When you get something like that come in, it's quite a unique moment and I think the team were a little bit shocked

According to the BBC, detectives involved in the case were initially surprised and skeptical when 50 Cent's support for Hassan's bail was presented. Detective Green described the moment as "quite a unique" and "shocking," admitting that the team initially suspected the document might be fake.

However, Hassan's defense team later provided photographic and video evidence to the court, reportedly showing Hassan traveling on private jets and participating in tour dates in the US. This evidence aimed to support the claim that Hassan's travel was for legitimate professional purposes.

You obviously think it's fake to start with... it's obviously one of those things you'll never forget as part of an investigation.

In addition to the bail application, 50 Cent also submitted a letter to the court for Hassan's sentencing hearing as part of his mitigation. In the letter, the rapper stated he had known and worked closely with Hassan for many years, both professionally and personally. He emphasized that he had relied on Hassan directly in his own business and understood his character through firsthand experience.

“

I write as someone who has relied on him [Hassan] directly in my own business and who knows his character through years of firsthand experience.

50 Cent acknowledged the seriousness of the matter bringing Hassan before the court but wrote to provide an honest account of the man he knows. He further stated that employment would be available to Hassan upon his release, adding that his experience, reliability, and understanding of the work made him someone the rapper would welcome back without hesitation.

“

I am aware of the matter that brings Mr Hassan before the court, and I do not write to minimize its seriousness. I write only to give the court an honest account of the man I have come to know through working alongside him over the years.
