The Final Lap Tour

50 Cent’s “Final Lap” Tour Surpasses $100M In Ticket Sales, Joining Drake & Kendrick Lamar

by

50 Cent’s “The Final Lap” tour has been impressive, to say the least, and the hitmaker now has yet another major milestone to celebrate. According to @touringdata on X, it’s become the fourth-ever rap tour to surpass $100M in ticket sales. The feat was previously accomplished by Drake on his “Aubrey & The Three Migos” and “It’s All A Blur” tours, as well as Kendrick Lamar on “The Big Steppers” tour.

Reportedly, Fif’s sold over 1.1M tickets so far, which cost an average of roughly $89 each. 50 Cent has yet to share his reaction to the exciting news online. He has, however, been doing his fair share of promotion in recent months.

50 Cent Becomes Fourth-Ever Rap Act To Surpass $100M In Ticket Sales

Fif first kicked off “The Final Lap” tour in July of last year, performing in countless cities around the world. He’s since received praise from fans and peers alike for his high-octane shows, special guests, and more. Tony Yayo even joined the tour as a supporting act, opening up about the experience in an interview with VladTV in February. He revealed that 50 Cent funded the entire production himself, paying everyone on his team generously, including Yayo.

“His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon,” he described. “You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you, ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’” According to Yayo, it was no easy task, as it took a lot to make the shows happen. “Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50, ’cause 50 cuts the budget. But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team,” he explained. “And 50 pays for everything.” What do you think of 50 Cent’s impressive tour stats?

50 Cent Reportedly Pulled Out The Big Bucks To Cover All ‘Final Lap Tour’ Expenses From His Own Pocket

by

In 2023, musician-turned-mogul 50 Cent stepped off the television set and back onto the stage. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, the “Candy Shop” rapper announced The Final Lap Tour. Across several countries and more than 100 shows, supporters were reminded of 50 Cent’s dominating run in hip-hop.

Each night, the show brought in millions in ticket sales. But a production of that magnitude doesn’t come cheap, and according to Tony Yayo, 50 Cent covered all expenses for The Final Lap Tour out of his own pocket.

During a recent sit-down with VladTV, Yayo revealed that his longtime friend and label head pulled out the big bucks to pay 300 staffers, set costs, and more. “Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50 ’cause 50 cuts the budget,” he said. “But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team. And 50 pays for everything… His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon. You can ask anyone. The people that ran the tour from Live Nation, they’ll tell you: ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’”

Since kicking off his Final Lap tour in July of last year, 50 Cent has gone on to perform in over 70 cities across over 20 countries. Fans and peers alike have praised the hitmaker for riveting performances, undeniable work ethic, special guests, and more. Recently, Tony Yayo opened up about how impressed he was by the tour, also revealing that the entire operation was funded by Fif alone.

During a recent interview with VladTV, the rapper described being blown away by what it took to make the tour happen. “Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50, ’cause 50 cuts the budget. But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team,” he said. “And 50 pays for everything.”

Tony Yayo Reflects On The Final Lap Tour

According to him, everyone’s also paid pretty well, including himself. Elsewhere in the interview, he shared details of how much Fif’s managed to rake in with the tour. He says that on merch alone, he’s made a killing. “His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon,” he explained. “You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you, ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’”

He was later asked why he didn’t use the opportunity to sell some merch of his own. Tony Yayo says he simply didn’t feel a need to, as he was already making more than enough. “I don’t ask for too much. I’m making six figures, so why would I bother you for more? It’s cool. I’m not worried about that. Trust me, I’m making a great check […] The money is great, the money is excellent,” he said.

50 Cent Responds To Ozempic Allegations, Reveals How He Really Lost 43 Pounds

by

It’s not like 50 Cent’s ever been super scrawny or too big for his britches, but fans still can’t believe his weight loss. Moreover, recent Instagram posts opened up a conversation about how much he looks than a couple of years ago, with some fans even accusing him of using slimming drugs like Ozempic to achieve these results. Through a recent Instagram post, the rapper commented on these theories and maintained that everything we see is the product of hard work. “You want to talk about weight loss?” he said of his 40-pound loss. “I was in the gym, I was working the f**k out, man.

“They’re gonna says it’s Ozempic,” 50 cent continued. “I was running, I was running, I was doing what I had to do. You’ve seen me on tour, I run around. I was 253 pounds, I’ve came down, I’m 210 right now. Tell me how you feel about it, you tell me how you feel about it later.” According to an alleged source report from Page Six, this is the result of a “rigorous” eight-month fitness journey that saw him go to the gym “three hours a day, every day.” As the G-Unit mogul explained, it was in service to his recent tour, The Final Lap, which began in July of 2023.

However, that’s not the only personal, physical, and health-related routine that he’s keeping up. The Queens legend related this workout regiment to his decision to practice abstinence, also via Instagram. “I’m focused, man,” 50 Cent captioned a recent post on the social media platform. “Practicing abstinence is helping me train harder. I feel great I think more people should try it. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

“My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted,” the 48-year-old had expressed as his New Year’s resolution for 2024. “I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level.” Looks like hitting the gym is something that he will also continue as a New Year’s commitment.

Tony Yayo Breaks Silence on 50 Cent’s G-Unit Remarks

by

The G-Unit saga continues as Tony Yayo breaks his silence on 50 Cent’s recent social media jabs at fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck. In an interview with Vlad TV, Yayo shared his perspective on the situation, revealing that he was unaware of 50’s mocking comments about the Final Lap Tour. Moreover, in the interview, when Vlad brought up 50 Cent’s comparison of Yayo’s massive arena tour, where he served as a hypeman alongside Uncle Murda, to potentially less-attended shows by Banks and Buck, Yayo seemed taken aback. 50 said, “They think this is something? Wait ‘til they see Lloyd Banks’ tour.” “I didn’t even know he said that,” Yayo responded when confronted with 50 Cent’s remarks.

However, Vlad continued to probe, asking why Lloyd Banks and Young Buck were not part of 50’s Final Lap Tour. Yayo chose not to delve into the specifics of Banks, emphasizing their friendship and Banks’ apparent disapproval of Vlad. However, he shed some light on Young Buck’s absence, suggesting that the dynamics were different for Buck, and decisions seemed to lean more towards him.

Moreover, Yayo dismissed the comments. “I didn’t grow up with Buck; I grew up with Banks and 50.

He referenced The Game’s recent interview with Vlad, highlighting that there was no disrespect towards him, and he reciprocates that sentiment.

As the G-Unit narrative unfolds, Tony Yayo’s measured response reflects a desire for unity and mutual respect within the group. The dynamics between the members continue to evolve, leaving fans intrigued about the future of G-Unit and whether these public exchanges will lead to a resolution or further discord. Only time will tell how the G-Unit story unfolds, with each member navigating their own path within the complex dynamics of hip-hop’s history. What are your thoughts on this story?

50 Cent Has A New Album On The Way

by

During a recent interview with Evropa 2, 50 Cent confirmed that he plans to drop another record once he’s wrapped up his Final Lap tour. The hitmaker’s been making his way around the world since July of this year, and is currently on the European leg of the tour. For now, he says he’s focused on making his shows the best they can be. Fif notes, however, that fans can look forward to new music from him sometime in the near future.

50 Cent told the outlet that when he’s not traveling around the world for tour, he’s in the studio cooking up new material for fans. He went on to compare his life after tour to Eminem’s, noting how the rapper doesn’t perform very often, though he still drops music. “When I’m not moving around and I’m not touring and doing things, it’s going to permit me to focus on creating music,” he explained. “You’ll get a little more of what you get from Dr. Dre and Eminem from me at that point.”

50 Cent Confirms A New Project Is Coming Soon

While Fif didn’t disclose many more details of the new project than that, it’s safe to say that fans won’t be disappointed. The album isn’t the only thing 50 Cent’s supporters have to look forward to either. Last week, the New York native unveiled a new preview for the next season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The Starz series is loosely based off of the performer’s childhood. “So [shocked face emoji] I have the best tour and the best shows? How ya feel about it [Shrug emoji],” he captioned the new trailer.

By the looks of his comments section, fans can’t wait to catch season three. What do you think of 50 Cent revealing that he plans to drop another project once the tour’s over?

50 Cent Still Thinks Diddy Was Involved In Tupac’s Murder, Doubling Down On His Past Statements

by

50 Cent has never been one to mince words or bite his tongue. While he has occasionally apologized for his acts of trollerism on the timeline, he hasn’t made any apparent effort to curb them. Most recently, he accused Diddy of being involved in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, adopting an oft-repeated conspiracy theory while continuing his campaign against the fellow rap mogul, whose parties he criticized a few days before.

He even admitted to seeking help for this tendency at the recent stop in Latvia for his Final Lap Tour. “I got to stop doing that sh*t,” he said. “I’ve been talking to a therapist who trying to help me with the sh*t I’m saying. It’s some crazy sh*t that comes out of my mouth for no reason.”

Well, maybe he needs to up his number of weekly sessions or change doctors because it clearly isn’t working. As he told the crowd in Latvia, he reckoned that the reason he went off on Puff’s parties was because of his belief that Diddy had Tupac killed. “Maybe I said that sh*t about Puffy because he got Tupac killed,” said 50, “I thought it was for a real reason, and then I just thought of that. I wanted to post the sh*t I seen online.”

Maybe we should consider limiting rappers’ screen time the way we do kids and teens. They seem pretty prone to falling down the wrong rabbit holes and repeating anything they see, regardless of evidence. In any event, Las Vegas Police believe they’ve got the right guy after 27 years, finally garnering enough evidence to actually prosecute Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who has admitted his alleged involvement multiple times over the past several years.

50 Cent Talks About Why He Doesn’t Go To Diddy’s Parties

by

Diddy has earned a reputation for hosting extravagant parties on various occasions. He recently upheld this tradition by throwing a lavish celebration for the release of his sixth studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid. The event, as expected, was a star-studded celebration, with notable attendees including Keyshia Cole, French Montana, Jadakiss, and many more. Diddy’s parties are renowned for their celebrity guest lists and unparalleled entertainment. Despite the glamour and allure of these events, there’s one person who says he does not attend: 50 Cent.

While Diddy’s parties often draw a who’s who of the entertainment industry, 50 Cent has notably chosen to steer clear of them. Earlier today (Oct. 4), a video circulated across social media of 50 Cent, presumably at one of his shows, and he offered an explanation as to why he doesn’t attend Diddy’s parties. “That’s why I don’t be going to them Puffy parties,” 50 Cent said in the video while on stage. “Uh-uh. N****a hug you from the front and the back at the same time? F**k you talkin’ about? Look, if you into that, you into that,” 50 said. “I’m fine with it. To each his own. I’m just sayin’ this ain’t my motherf***ing kind of party. It’s uncomfortable. I think I belong in the girls bathroom when s**t like that is going on.”

Fans took note of his commentary and responded in various ways. “50 always speaks the truth uncensored,” one person wrote. “Lots of stories coming out about Diddy and his after parties.” “This is just too funny,” another person commented. “50 don’t get down with that,” said someone else. Nevertheless, 50s comments sparked questions as to why he doesn’t attend.

However, 50 Cent has been busy with other things anyways. He’s been out of the city lately as part of his The Final Lap tour, and has been making headlines. Most recently, he’s been the topic of social media from fans who were impressed with his outfit changes. “50 Cent outfit changes at this show was at least 1.5 seconds each song lol,” someone wrote on social media. The rapper has also been calling some of his celebrity friends to come out and support. His various surprise guest appearances on different nights of the tour have included everyone from Eminem, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Nas, YG, Tyga, and more. Safe to say he’s throwing his own after parties, and pouring out shots for the club while he’s at it!

50 Cent Explained Why Diddy’s Parties Aren’t ‘My Motherf*cking Kind Of Party,’ And It Concerns His Personal Space

So far on his The Final Lap Tour, 50 Cent has been full of surprises, including an Eminem cameo in Detroit, a very controversial mic toss, and a bold proclamation from J. Cole. 50 and The Final Lap Tour is in Norway this week, in Stavanger, Norway on Monday, October 2, and Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday, October 4. Diddy did not make a surprise appearance at either show, but he was still present via surprising commentary from 50 Cent.

Earlier Wednesday, Daily Loud and HipHopDX circulated video on X (formerly known as Twitter) showing 50, presumably during one of his recent shows. In it, he took time between songs to take a shot at Diddy. Sort of?

“That’s why I don’t be going to them Puffy parties,” 50 Cent said. “Uh-uh. N***a hug you from the front and the back at the same time? F*ck you talkin’ about? Look, if you into that, you into that. I’m fine with it. To each his own. I’m just sayin’ this ain’t my motherf*cking kind of party. It’s uncomfortable. I think I belong in the girls bathroom when sh*t like that is going on.”

Welp! The context of what was said before the recording began is unclear, and it would be very helpful to know what led him into this anecdote about what allegedly does or does not happen at Diddy’s famed parties.

Regardless, 50 Cent will continue to have the floor to say whatever he wants until at least December, when his The Final Lap Tour is due to wrap. The next show is scheduled for Thursday, October 5, in Trondheim, Norway. See all of the remaining international dates here.

50 Cent recently kicked off the international leg of his Final Lap Tour. He’ll make stops in Amsterdam, Germany, and Denmark over the weekend.

There’s been quite a bit of buzz around the tour since it kicked off, for fan antics, Fif’s antics, and more. The Final Lap Tour is scheduled to close in December, with dates in Australia and New Zealand. So far, the tour’s been met with mostly high praise from fans.

“For the music that we do,” Jadakiss began. “To see n***as up in that kind of caliber, from our cloth of music to have that kind of production and see my n***as up there, that sh*t is incredible.” He added, “I encourage n***as to see this.” According to Jadakiss, 50 Cent’s Final Lap even rivals some of the hottest tours of the summer. He compared it to Drake’s It’s All A Blur, Taylor Swift’s Eras, and even Beyonce’s Renaissance.

“Beyoncé, you better catch that Final Lap Tour,” he continued. “Drake and 21, the Final Lap. Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, catch it. Who else I say?
