Hip-hop mogul 50 Cent brought luxury and culture together this week with the exclusive launch of his Branson 505 Edition Cognac, a collaboration between Sire Spirits and Lalique. Each bottle carries a $25,000 price tag, but Fiddy promises it’s more than just a drink—it’s art, legacy, and giving back.
“This is about craftsmanship, culture, and giving back. We created something that’ll outlive all of us—real art that tells a story, and every bottle helps someone else write theirs,” 50 Cent told TMZ Hip Hop.
A Star-Studded Manhattan Event
The launch took place at Lalique Townhouse in Manhattan, where the 505 limited edition bottles were on full display. Each bottle is hand-etched Lalique glass, housing Grande Champagne cognac aged up to 100 years—a testament to luxury and quality.
Guests enjoyed five-star bites from celebrity chef Daniel Boulud, while 50 led a tasting of the rare cognac. The event drew A-listers and influencers including:
- Silvio Denz and Marc Larminaux of Lalique
- MSNBC host and rap fan Ari Melber
- Joseph Sikora, AKA Tommy from Power
The gathering was equal parts high-end culture and hip-hop celebration.
Luxury With a Purpose
Purchasing a Branson 505 Edition Cognac isn’t just about prestige—each bottle includes a $5,000 donation to 50’s G-Unity Foundation, supporting youth empowerment programs.
“Those Branson shots and sips will go a long way toward empowering the youth of tomorrow,” Fiddy said.
By merging luxury lifestyle with philanthropy, 50 Cent ensures the Branson 505 Edition Cognac is both a collector’s item and a vehicle for change.

This launch underscores 50 Cent’s flair for blending high culture and hip-hop sensibility. From his music empire to business ventures like Branson 505, Fiddy continues to cement his reputation as a mogul with vision.
“It’s more than a bottle of cognac—it’s a story, a legacy, a gift to those coming up behind us,” he said.
Fans and luxury enthusiasts alike are buzzing over the rare, hand-crafted bottles, while knowing that each sip contributes to a greater cause.
