Expect a celebrity sighting at a Raley’s and Bel-Air store in Sacramento this week.

Grammy Award-winning musician and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is coming to the area to sign bottles from his wine and spirits company, Sire Spirits, Thursday and Saturday.

The rapper shared on his Twitter that from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, he’ll be at Raley’s, at 8870 Madison Ave. in Fair Oaks.

He’ll also make an appearance from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Bel-Air, 3250 Arena Blvd. in Natomas, according to a Raley’s Facebook post, to sign his new brand of cognac, Branson Cognac. The supermarket chain added that it will put Jackson’s Branson Cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi Champagne on shelves at Raley’s, Bel Air and Nob Hill stores in March.
