Previously, 50 Cent held a Super Bowl event in a private airport hangar located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The event went viral after the rapper was seen among many people at the event who were not social distancing and didn’t have on masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Since then, the mayor of St. Petersburg called out the rapper, along with the company Sky Addict Aviation.

Now, the owner of the company is being given the boot by city officials after the event. Sky Addict Aviation owner Abraham Tray spoke on the situation, saying that he has been given 180 days to leave after his lease was terminated as a result of hosting the event. Tray said, “We are in a situation that pointing fingers and making one person the scapegoat wouldn’t make a difference.” 

Tray noted that the friend who asked to use the space assured him there would be safety protocols in place for the event, but the measures were ignored by people who attended the event. Tray went on to say “My business is now facing a crisis. An additional one, on the top of the global crisis that we are all facing for nearly a year already.” A spokesperson for Mayor Rick Kriseman said Tray’s lease is being removed because the company didn’t file the required safety plan for COVID-19.

Super Bowl weekend has been in progress, and many people, including entertainers, flocked to Florida despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to engage in festivities surrounding the event. 50 Cent recently hosted an event located at a private airport hangar, and the event was supposed to have a limited capacity and people wearing masks while social distancing. However, photos surfaced of the event, which included a maskless 50 Cent among numerous partygoers. Now, the Mayor of St. Petersburg has taken to Twitter to call out the rapper.

Mayor Rick Kriseman posted a link to a TMZ article featuring a photo of 50 at the event in question and said, “This isn't how we should be celebrating the Super Bowl. It's not safe or smart. It's stupid. We're going to take a very close look at this, and it may end up costing someone a lot more than 50 cent.“ Since addressing 50’s party, a spokesperson for the mayor said an investigation into the airport management company and people responsible for the party on the way.
