Mayor criticizes 50 Cent for his concert with people without masks

St. Petersburg. Saint Petersburg mayor Rick Kriseman criticized rapper 50 Cent for throwing a big party without masks.

Via his Twitter page, Kriseman, he posted, “This is not how we should celebrate the Super Bowl. It’s not safe or smart. It is stupid. We’re going to take a really good look at this, and it could end up costing someone a lot more than 50 cents. “

Kriseman, following the lead of the health authorities, took the position of celebrating Super Bowl LV, which is being played tonight at Raymond James Stadium, in Tampa, Florida, between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in a responsible manner. .

In fact, health experts said Super Bowl LV could be a “Super Spread” of the coronavirus if precautions that have been in place for just under a year are not taken.

This weekend there were several parties full of people in Tampa as if there was no pandemic seen as something ‘frustrating’ and ‘desolate’ for all the health workers fighting the coronavirus, which is already killing more than 460,000 people in the United States. .

Mayor Kriseman’s tweet was in response to footage of the party featuring a large crowd and some guests wearing masks in a Saint Petersburg airport hangar posted by TMZ.

Steve Aoki played a well-attended party at WTR Bar & Grill at The Godfrey hosted by Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports and Miami-based super club E11EVEN.

Tampa police told local Channel 8 news channel that the scene there and at other parties was “incredibly disappointing.”

We were told that guests had to search through high-tech machines for common symptoms of the coronavirus.

“I think they have planned as much as possible,” said a source. “All night long, DJs told people to remember to put on their masks.”

In other parts of Tampa, photos showed the Ybor City neighborhood filled with hundreds of revelers, many without masks.
