50 Cent Reckons He Can Save Top Gear (Yes, Really)
The BBC said pretty early on that it wouldn’t replace departing Chris Evans at Top Gear, killing off the chance of the sort of rampant successor speculation we had after Jeremy Clarkson was forced to leave the show. Despite that, one person has decided to speak out and say that he’s man. And that man is rapper 50 Cent, who these days seems to spend more time trying to decide whether or not he’s broke. In fact, not only does he reckon he’d make a good replacement for Evans, he reckons he could be the show’s ‘saviour’.
Speaking to The Daily Star, 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - said: “I would love to work on Top Gear, I could save that show for sure, but it would cost them.” As far as his qualifications for the job go, that’s simple: “There ain’t a car I haven’t owned over the years, my car collection is as good as anybody’s out there,” Jackson stated.
Expressing concern over the show’s future, Jackson went on to say: “Top Gear was one of the world’s iconic shows and it’s a shame it came to this…The show since the old team left has been unrecognisable and if it don’t get back to where is should be soon then it may never recover.”
Before you start thinking the idea of Fiddy at the helm of the world’s biggest motoring show is an utterly bizarre one, it’s worth pointing out he’s very comfortable behind a camera. And besides, if someone told you a year ago that Matt LeBlanc aka Joey from Friends would be on Top Gear, you’d think they’d gone mad.
However, all this is moot given the BBC’s decision to stick with the remaining presenters going forward. I guess you could say 50 Cent has no chance of being In Da Club…

I mean… he could team up with Rory Reid and rap about cars.
I’m actually curious to see how that would go lol.
🎵I don’t know whatcha heard about me/but you can’t get a dolla outta me/cause I got none left - it all got spent —— on my mutha*kin F-I-A-T.🎵
TBH, IDC, because the show is f**ked up anyway
LOL Fk off, the guy is such a fking troglodyte i’m surprised he has any skin left on his knuckles from them dragging on the ground the whole time.
Kanye doesn’t approve
If I imagine Curtis humor as the one I imagine, then it could save the show in deed, cause I would be willing to watch it in a Curtis way, because this show mostly is about the humor not the knowledge of the cars, but the knowledge of the cars was the thing that started it all, so without it you can’t be a host of this show, the humor is simply a big plus for your.
He was a pimp my ride host at 2000s… But i don’t think it will be a good idea, top gear have funny moments but still a serious car show… Or it was with Jeremy crew…
Host can’t change the show in a way that if 50 would host, it wouldn’t become another pimp my ride thing, it would stay the same as it is, and 50 has car collection as he mentioned, and those cars are not riced out like back in Pimp My Ride.
I guess 50 Cent is throwing his 2 Cents in…
Having 50 Cent on TG would be like having Lil’ Wayne be a host on The View.
