50 Cent throws himself into Top Gear race and reveals he can ‘save the show’
The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, has urged BBC bosses to put their hands in their pockets and get him onboard
RAPPER 50 Cent reckons he’s the man who can save Top Gear.
Following Chris Evans’ exit from the show, the 41-year-old US star is urging BBC bosses to put their hands in their pockets and give him a go in the driving seat.
50, real name Curtis Jackson, opened up about his dream new job to the .
He told the publication: “I would love to work on Top Gear, I could save that show for sure, but it would cost them.”
Curtis believes that the vast car collection he’s acquired during his impressive rise to fame would make him a perfect fit for the flagging show.
Discussing his love for the programme before its recent shakeup, he added: “Top Gear was one of the world’s iconic shows and it’s a shame it came to this.
“The show since the old team left has been unrecognisable and if it don’t get back to where is should be soon then it may never recover.”
Top Gear dropped massively in popularity after bosses hired Chris Evans to replace Jeremy Clarkson.
However, with the ginger presenter being panned by critics and ratings dropping to an all time low of 1.9 million, he decided to quit.
We revealed yesterday Chris has since fuelled fears of a meltdown after being pictured swigging from a brandy bottle and urinating on the side of the M4.
If successful with his mission, he'd potentially be joining fellow US actor Matt Leblanc.
