Rapper 50 Cent has been asked by an animal rights group to become the godfather of an endangered black rhinoceros. The Baby By Me rapper was urged by South African charity eBlockwatch to adopt Phila, an endangered black rhino who has been shot nine times by poachers, reports contactmusic.com.
The group thinks 50 will be able to relate to the animal’s plight, as he was also shot nine times on the streets of New York when he was an up-and-coming rapper.
“We want to ask him if he wants to become the godfather of our rhino so that he can create awareness worldwide about rhino poaching,” said Andre Snyman of eBlockwatch. 50 is yet to respond whether he would be willing to sponsor or adopt the rhino. —IANS
