During 50 Cent's current tour of Africa, a fan jumped on stage and snatched a diamond chain from the singer's neck before escaping on foot from the concert venue in Angola.
According to MTV, the fan grabbed the diamond encrusted necklace from the 'In Da Club' singer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, mid-song during a G-Unit show.
On 50's personal website, ThisIs50.com a statement said: "Recently 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo were performing in Angola, Africa. Being that security was limited fans were able to interact with the group on stage."
"However one fan had a different motive and bit off more than he can chew, as he attempted to run up on 50 and snatch his chain."
According to TMZ.com, 50 Cent caught up with the thief and reclaimed his necklace.
A source told the website: "The chain is around 50's neck right now."
