The rapper performed in front of 25,000 people at a Pristina soccer stadium on Monday night, making him the most popular artist there.
Fiddy, real name Curtis Jackson, insisted that he was not concerned about any threats to his safety during the show and would never consider cancelling a gig.
He said: "I haven't missed a show date in my career. I've been to Iraq. I performed for the soldiers. I've been to Israel. I've been to Beirut. They actually bombed the week after I left."
The star claimed that his popularity with the Kosovan people is due to their being able to identify with him because of his background.
50 Cent added: "I know exactly what happens when the guns come out. Maybe that's why they (identify) with me."
