How did 50 Cent come to sponsor a Welsh youth football team?
Mention Welsh football clubs and celebrity backers, and Wrexham AFC's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will probably spring to mind.
But one under-14s team in Cardiff can now boast its own superstar supporter in rapper 50 Cent, with AFC Rumney's girls side sporting his name and his hip-hop collaborators G-Unit on their kits.
Manager Richie Brown said that one of the players' father worked with 50 Cent on a recent tour and was encouraged to ask if he could sponsor the team.
Speaking to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live's Naga Munchetty, Richie said: "If you don't ask the questions, then you'll never know the real answers!
"He's got a season ticket now so he doesn't have to ask, he can just turn up whenever he wants."
