Rap legend 50 Cent has expressed his eagerness to perform his iconic song “Many Men” alongside Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. The idea surfaced after a postgame interview revealed Jokic’s fondness for the early 2000s hit.
During a press conference following the Nuggets’ 144-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Jokic jokingly mentioned that he would need a few months to learn all the words to “Many Men” before performing it. However, 50 Cent quickly took to social media, stating that he would back Jokic up on stage if he ever decided to perform the track.
“Look if he says he gonna perform, we gonna perform,” 50 Cent tweeted. “I’ll back him up; we will have the spot jumping”.

The idea of such an unusual collaboration has gained traction among fans and media alike. Nuggets center DeAndre Jordan played a part in bringing this to light when he shared that “Many Men” is one of Jokic’s favorite songs. Despite Jokic’s reserved nature and quiet demeanor off the court, his admiration for 50 Cent’s music has brought out another fun side of his personality.
The idea of Jokic, a three-time MVP and one of the most dominant players in the NBA, performing on stage with 50 Cent has captured the imagination of many. If the two, in partnership with the NBA were to arrange a performance at the 2025 All-Star Game, they’d likely blow the roof off of Chase Center.
