50 Cent's Fergie show
Jun 19, 2007, 12:50 GMT
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has lined-up 50 Cent to perform at her charity concert this week.
The hip-hop star will take part in a dinner benefit for the Sarah Ferguson Foundation at New York's Cipriani Wall Street restaurant on Wednesday (20.06.07).
The duchess set up her foundation to improve the lives of families and children around the world last year and proceeds from this week's event will go to UNICEF (The United Nation Children's Fund).
50 Cent's performance is all part of this year's seven-date Cipriani Wall Street Concert Series.
Sarah - who has two daughters with ex-husband Britain's Prince Andrew - personally approached Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie to perform one of the shows on May 17.
The duchess, who is commonly known as Fergie, was intrigued when the singer named her first solo album 'The Dutchess' and filmed a video in London sporting a tiara as a cheeky reference to their shared nickname.
Other stars still scheduled to perform in the charity series include Annie Lennox and opera singer Andrea Bocelli.
