Multiplatinum hip-hop superstar 50 Cent is amenable to performing his classic cut "Many Men (Wish Death)" at this year's NBA All-Star Weekend festivities next month in San Francisco with three-time NBA MVP Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, he revealed recently via his official X account.

Peyton Watson is our locker room DJ," Jordan said. "So anytime Nikola requests a song, if it's not, like, Serbian folk music, it is 'Many Men' by 50 Cent. And he knows the words from start to finish."

Shockingly, "Many Men (Wish Death)" was only released as a promotional single off 50 Cent's debut record, 2003's "Get Rich or Die Tryin.'" It was given the music video treatment, and hit number 11 on the US Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.

The song has become one of the rapper's signature tunes in the intervening decades. The track's official music video — starring Mekhi Pfeiffer, then-"CSI: Miami" regulars Adam Rodriguez and Rory Cochrane, and G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck — has 584 million streams on YouTube. 

The video recounts the moment 50 Cent was shot nine times while in Queens, New York on May 24, 2000. Pfeiffer plays his primary assailant.
