The rapper 50 Cent recently capped off a celebration for friends and colleagues in New York City by reportedly leaving a huge $1,000 tip.
The 47-year-old hitmaker turned actor was dining at the Brooklyn Chop House’s Times Square location when he left the all-important tip, according to Page six.
50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson III) also shared some photos from the night on his Instagram, revealing that DaBaby was one of his guests, though he didn’t share the details about his big tip.
The In Da Club rapper threw a party for his Branson Cognac label to celebrate a new deal he signed for the company.
A source claimed to Page Six that the musician – who is currently setting up his own movie studio – ordered “every item on the menu,” noting specifically that he got the two pounds of salt and pepper lobster, as well as several steaks.

Steaks range from as expensive as $180 for a 48 oz porterhouse to as cheap as $49 for a small fillet of broccoli.
The menu does not list a price for the lobster, indicating that it probably depends on the market price.
As long as 50 Cent’s purchases were $5,000 or less, he could still have offered the recommended minimum of 20 percent.
The rapper and company were reportedly at the restaurant until closing time.
‘He had a party [sic] for his team,” said one of the insiders.
The rapper scored a big deal for his cognac brand in March, though it’s unclear if he was celebrating that achievement or a newer deal.
At the time, Branson partnered with Le Chemin du Roi Champagne to sell drinks at the Houston Toyota Center.
The brands will provide cocktails at Houston Rockets games, as well as access to other events held at the arena.

50 Cent opted for a casual baby blue T-shirt for dinner, which he paired with an all black LA Dodgers baseball cap.
He added some sparkle to the casual look with a luxury wristwatch, a huge diamond-encrusted ’50’ ring and a diamond chain around his neck.
DaBaby, who posed for one photo with some of his friend’s brandy bottles, wore a white tank top with a black and white trucker cap and diamond-studded gold Cuban links.
50 Cent was laughing and grinning from ear to ear in one photo, as a half-eaten steak lay in front of them.
“Good times, Good living NY vibes Brooklyn Chop House,” he captioned a series of photos from the evening posted to Instagram.
DaBaby wrote on his own post, “Hate it or Love it the under dog on.”
“Dinner with my role model last night. I’ve never been in the room with @50cent without learning something new,” he added.
His photo showed the group walking into the restaurant, where they were greeted by a plate of cake slices decorated with sparklers bursting into the sky.
