50 Cent sends a friendly reminder for his fellow rap peers who probably have forgotten how dominant both he and Eminem were in the music industry in the 2000s.
Fiddy has recently took to Instagram on Thursday (July 13, 2023) to share a couple of photos that represents the list of Top 10 rap albums with the biggest first week sales and the most streamed rap albums released in the 2000s.
The first photo lists the albums with the biggest first-week sales:

Fif made sure to rub in the fact that he’s outsold most of his competition throughout his career and that only his friend and mentor Eminem has moved more records than him. In the caption, he wrote: “The funny s–t is only Eminem sold more then me. I made ni–s so uncomfortable they don’t want to remember LOL.”
