AceShowbiz - In the midst of the hustle and bustle of New York's SoHo district, Poppi's pop-up shop, affectionately dubbed "Poppi World," came alive with a star-studded audience. The launch was graced by numerous celebrities such as Emily Ratajkowski, Jasmine Tookes, Kevin Love, Suni Lee, and many others.
Though it was intended to be a surprise, nearly everyone in the packed venue anticipated the electrifying performance by none other than New York's own 50 Cent.
Dressed to impress in a white and red Versace t-shirt complemented by a matching red New York Yankee hat, 50 Cent took the stage. His 30-minute set was a tight, exhilarating journey through around 20 of his biggest hits. Classics like "Candy Shop," "Window Shopper," and "P.I.M.P." had the crowd buzzing. He closed his set with the timeless "In da Club," ensuring the night ended on a high note.
Although several celebrities likely enjoyed the performance from backstage, others mingled with the audience. "Love Island" stars Olivia Walker, Kaylor Martin, and Kendall Washington were seen snapping selfies and enjoying the show from the floor, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Even when 50's set ended promptly at 9:30 PM, the party didn't stop - the DJ kept the tunes spinning, maintaining the event's lively energy.
Beyond the music, Poppi's meticulous attention to visual detail was evident. The store was bathed in the vivid cherry-red colors of the brand, creating a visually loud yet tastefully done environment. Attendees not only indulged in complimentary drinks but also picked up loads of branded swag, keeping the excitement high throughout the evening.
Fans of 50 Cent showed their love on social media afterward. The rapper took to Instagram to share snippets and recaps of the night, for which he received an outpouring of admiration and nostalgic appreciation for representing New York so well. One fan perfectly encapsulated the sentiment by commenting, "This your year man. Thank you for putting on for the City and showing us NY n****s how to do it."
This two-day Poppi event at 105 Wooster Street promises more immersive experiences throughout the weekend. Featuring exclusive cherry-themed merchandise and unique brand activations, it's clear that Poppi's new Cherry Cola flavor is more than a drink - it's a full-scale celebration.
