Who is Lushsux and why is he filling Melbourne with 50 Cent LOL murals?

The murals of 50 Cent characterized as Tekashi 6ix9ine, Donald Trump, Mao Zedong Taylor Swift or Post Malone that began to sprout in April on the walls of the Australian city of Melbourne are getting closer to acquiring the category of historical art event. After all, if a banana taped to the wall is art, why wouldn't these magnificent drawings by Lushsux, the ghost of the spray that some media already call «the Australian Banksy«. Best of all, 50 Cent himself has entered the rag on his Instagram account. TO 50 cent king of trollsThey are giving you some of your own medicine. And based on good.

Who is behind the 50 Cent murals?

His name is Lushsux, he lives in Melbourne and, judging by his Instagram posts, he's here to play and have a good time. There do not seem to be many more reasons behind these enigmatic murals with which he has been decorating his city for months. Only in April 2020And for reasons that escape us, his inspiration has been obsessively nailed to the figure of Curtis Jackson, in the very foreground, and with aesthetics that seek to make a fool of him.

The talent of the artist is undeniable. His style is based on the obsessive interpretation of our world through mixture of two current cut elements that result in an exotic and rare being... but perhaps possible in a parallel universe. Lushsux's works draw on pop para and social iconography to summarize the climate of an important portion of the hyper-mediated and capitalist society that we have inhabited in the third decade of the third millennium. He had touched Eminem, Jeff Bezos or Kim Kardashian. Now, as he has assured on Twitter, we are in the month of 50 Cent.

The famous photograph of Barack Obama smoking in his youth…and with the hair of the anime character Cowboy Bebop; Elon Musk with his face full of tattoos of his companies Space X or Tesla (it seems that he was not very amused, since Musk blocked him on Instagram); a t-shirt Baby Yoda wearing a sweatshirt with the logo of supreme; Bill Clinton (in the infamous press conference where he lied about Lewinsky) claiming he didn't donate to any e-girls; allusions to the alleged non-suicide of Jeffrey Epstein or Xi Jinping, president of China, characterized as Winnie the Pooh (which is relatively censored in the country due to a series of somewhat ridiculous memes).

Did I fake trolling 50 Cent?

If something has caught our attention in this strange case, it is the supposed degree of offense that he has felt 50 Cent, a man that in theory nothing seemed to affect him.

"Look at this shit. What the hell is wrong with these people? 50 asks in one of the publications. And he continues: «What the hell is this. Tell me if someone is paying him to do this" or "Man, look at this shit. What the hell is wrong with this guy?", Are some of the reactions of 50.

From beef's with Ja Rule or insults to/from his biological son, to the nine shots that almost ended his life, or that time he went bankrupt (or even that time he made a bet with Kanye West (who was releasing an album the same day) that his album would sell more than his… and no), 50 Cent (recently honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame) He has always been characterized by taking all the good and bad that has happened in his life with great humor.

Therefore, we do not understand that these murals are really offending him as much as he says they are in his IG comments.

What if it's all a setup? We care very little. no one takes the laughs away from us anymore.

We strongly recommend that you take a look around the IG account of this great artist who is Lushsux, whose catalog is intolerably interesting.
