50 Cent was celebrating his 48th birthday in style at the sell-out festival where Travis Scott, Flo and also Lil TJ lit up the stage over the weekend in London's Finsbury Park.

A source told The Sun: "50 was in his element. He had the best time in London and treated his entourage and crew to an epic feast to celebrate his birthday. They had their own V-VIP area, so staff came across with bags and bags of food for them to celebrate. Fiddy even had his own bespoke napkins with Get Rice or Die Trying on them. Ice Spice was gifted a stunning diamond encrusted sauce bottle too."

50 is not the first rapper to go all out at Wireless.

Drake's epic backstage rider from a couple of years back has been revealed including 500 Nando's chicken wings and 150 garlic breads.

The superstar, 34, shocked festival goers with a sensational surprise performance after his album Certified Lover Boy went to number one.

Drake, 34, treated his entourage to a peri, peri good feast, that was delivered straight to his multiple dressing rooms backstage in true VIP style.

A source told the Sun: "Drake's rider was huge - he made sure his whole team were well fed for his first perfomance back in Blighty.

"They had 500 chicken wings, 150 chicken thighs, 30 chips, 150 garlic breads, and some extra wraps thrown in for good measure."

Other stars tucking into the feasts at the Vip backstage area included TV's Maya Jama, Love Island's Jack Fowler, Toby Aromolaran and Aaron Francis.

Drake left fans open mouthed as he made a surprise appearance on stage at Wireless Festival on Friday.

He appeared on stage alongside headliner Future and the pair performed a five-song set including the live debut of their collaboration Way 2 Sexy -  after his album Certified Lover Boy went to number one.

The words ‘Hey Wireless, the boy is home’ appeared on the main stage screens as the rapper, real name Aubrey Graham, made his first major concert appearance since before the pandemic.

He told the crowd at Crystal Palace in south London: "I miss you with all my heart. It's been way too long, I forgot what this feels like."

The performance also included the tracks Life Is Good, Laugh Now Cry Later, What's Next and Nonstop.

"I would not have wanted my first show back to be anywhere other than Wireless," he added.

Fans had been hoping Drake would perform after his private jet was spotted flying into the UK earlier this week.
