50 Cent trolled Kanye West on Instagram on November 2 after seeing photos from the Jesus is King rapper’s failed “Brunchella” event. Fans who went to the brunch and concert celebration took to social media and shared pictures of the disappointing $55 brunch.
“I thought I was hustling. This guy selling $55 pancakes,” 50 Cent, 44, captioned photos from Kanye’s “Brunchella” event. “What the f**k LOL.”
Kanye, 42, performed at a church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on November 1. Although the event was free, organizers sold a brunch for $55. The money was donated back to the church.
Fans have since shared images of what the brunch included. One user on Facebook showed that she received two strips of bacon, one sausage patty, and two pancakes on a Styrofoam plate. “This is the wonderful & COLD brunch BUFFET we are being served,” she wrote. “The server looked at me crazy when I asked for another pancake.”
Another person said, “The food was COLDER than the temp outside. Food was pancakes, eggs, bacon, and grits.” The meal was compared to the infamous cheese sandwiches served at Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s failed Fyre Festival.

“Lauryn’s Fine Catering has been contacted about the poor service and quality of food provided during the event as a paid vendor,” the organizers said in a statement. “The catering company acknowledges it did not provide adequate food for ONE attendee and a social media post went viral. Any further inquiries or food complaints associated with the event can be directed to Lauryn’s Fine Catering.”
Other attendees compared the event to Fyre Festival because the VIP section was on a hill far from the stage. “Like they really had us hanging out on a hill away from the stage, promised we'd be ushered in later, only to hit us with 'nope',” one person wrote on Twitter. Another fan revealed, “VIP ticket holders were scammed into thinking we’d be behind the choir... but got stopped at the gate.”
Fans reportedly grew restless because the event was supposed to start at 6:00 pm and Kanye and his children North, Saint, and Chicago didn’t arrive until after 7:30 pm.
Many attendees were outraged, but nonetheless others trolled the concertgoers for purchasing tickets in the first place. “Kanye charging $55 for fake bacon, pale sausage, and pancakes dry as a Popeyes biscuit?! Ye fans out here getting BAMBOOZLED,” one Twitter user wrote. “The pictures of the Brunchella have me in tears. Kanye got y’all again,” another person wrote.
