Get pumped, 50 Cent supporters! As part of his gigantic global Final Lap Tour, the American rapper and entrepreneur has announced a big event in Mumbai for November 25. After more than 15 years, he is making a triumphant comeback to India to perform at perform at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
He took to his official Twitter handle to share this exciting news with his fans. Fiddy posted a video of him, along with the caption, “What’s up India! I’m coming your way to Mumbai on November 25th for for The Final Lap Tour. Pre-Register your tickets: 50CENT.com”
In the video, he said, “Namaste, India, It’s your boy 50 I got crazy news for you. I’m coming to Mumbai, India in November. It is going down.”
The Game wishes he had handled a not-so-nice remarks he made about Dr. Dre in a 2022 interview differently, but he still stands by what he said.
The initial comment arrived during an appearance on Drink Champs while discussing Kanye West, who at the time had just teamed up with The Game for his single titled “Eazy” – which netted the latter his highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 song in nearly 15 years. “It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dr. Dre did for me my whole career,” he told N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
During a recent interview with Amazon Music, The Game admitted he was a bit drunk when he said that and that he should have been more grateful that Dre did anything for him at all.
“So basically I was hollering at N.O.R.E. and them a little inebriated and I said some things that I meant. I’m not gon’ take it back – I ain’t no sucker. But having Dre do anything for your project, anything in your career, touch any part of anything you’re doing in life is such a blessing that I shall not ever s–t on that again.” said The Game
Then he continued: “And I haven’t talked to Dre since. And it don’t really matter if we talk again in life. Like, I’m a standup Compton, L.A. ni–a and it is what it is. I said what I said, I’m not going back on it. It’s just that I should have actually gave him more grace for what he did do and that was actually mentoring me and doing things that nobody could have done for me in my career.”
“When I was talking on there, I was speaking in terms of what Ye was doing right at that moment which was life-changing for me in that moment last year. And then I based it on Dre’s lack thereof because I took the business part personal and I should have left it business. But Dre is Dre, bro. We all know what Dr. Dre do.” The Game added.
From there The Game talks about his beef with 50 Cent and G-Unit: “What was the center of frustration? I felt like… Dre found Eminem and let him flourish to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Eminem found 50 and brought him to Dre and let that ni–a go ten times platinum and be the greatest ni–a that he could be. When it came to G-Unit, I felt like 50 was trying to suppress us and keep us like soldiers when I was never a soldier. I didn’t put myself in the group. I did not ask to be in a group. I’m thankful for the opportunity. Jimmy Iovine would always say some s–t like ‘Why’d you guys have to go and break up The Beatles, you are the Black Beatles!’ At 24-25 years old I was not thinking about that. I was just thinking I wanted that ni–a to die. Because what he was trying to do to me, we had just did to Murder Inc. So I was like ‘I’m not about to get Ja Rule.’ At that time, we were just young.”
Then he continues: “I hollered at 50 in LA one time in the club. We were on my side and we exchanged few words, nothing violent or anything like that. We both could not figure out where the young us went wrong. 50 is a real d–khead. He get back to New York, a little time passed and for some reason he want to bring me up and say some s–t. You know 50, he’s a troll. At the end of the day, the older 50 and 50 now, he’s like a teddy bear. He cool. We good. Ain’t no drama. I ain’t gonna see 50 and whoop his a– at 40 years old. Ni–a got a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I ain’t gonna blood walk on it or nothing like that. That’s not bad idea [laughs]. But we ain’t trying to go viral for that. We were just young and disconnected. A lot of money involved. A lot of ego and just youth. Biggie and Pac didn’t make out of that. They didn’t get to have another sit down. They both died in that. Me and 50 had shootouts and it could have ended the same way but by the grace of god he’s alive and I’m alive. And we are here today.”
There are total of 419 songs in Spotify history that managed to cross the 1 Billion streams and 50 Cent’s 2003 mega hit song “In Da Club,” produced by Dr. Dre from Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album is one of them. The song now has over 400 million more streams than his second biggest hit on the platform, “Candy Shop,” from The Massacre album.
To celebrate, Spotify sent 50 Cent a plaque sporting a silver plated version of their logo. Fiddy shared the photo on Instagram with the caption: “Take your time, make it a classic then it won’t go away.”
In the comments section, Method Man and Bobby Shmurda commented fire emojis. Nick Cannon also replied: “Biggest Song in HipHop History!!” adding fire emojis.
Nick Cannon’s shout out came shortly after he threw shots at 50 Cent over his weight. Cannon made the comments about Fiddy while discussing Vivica Fox during one of the episodes of his “The Daily Cannon” podcast show. “You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.”
50 Cent seemingly responded on Instagram, saying: “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. Your not going to make it, have a nice day.”
Checking a song’s streaming statistics is one of the best ways to demonstrate its popularity today. Several of the biggest blockbusters in recent years have amassed countless billions of streams.
“Rockstar” and “Sunflower” by Post Malone have amassed more than 2.7 Billion streams each. With over 3.6 billion streams, “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd is the most popular song.

You can check out 50 Cent’s post and revisit the classic below:
On “Back Down” in 2003, 50 Cent dissed Ja Rule and Murder Inc., but the song’s original version allegedly also targeted JAY-Z, Nas, R. Kelly and Cam’ron.
The 20th anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ coincides with the release of a new documentary by Diverse Mentality that dissects each song from 50’s debut album.
One of the project’s producers, Sha Money XL, recalls 50 Cent ranting about other rappers on unreleased version of “Back Down” and explains how his mind works when it comes to aiming for listeners.
“That record is his traditional patterns of ‘How to Rob,’ your ‘Life’s on the Line,’ ‘Ghetto Quran. Certain names is being mentioned, certain nerves being pinched. That’s his marketing tool – Fif has a marketing tool within music. He knows how to make records that’s gonna get you to talk, listen and f–k with him.” Sha Money XL said.
Then he continued: “This is one of the ones that I don’t know anyone else that did a record to it. Like, Dre had records that other people do… Rakim or D12. This one, nah. This one was fresh. Fresh. And we went to my crib, cut that s–t. Fif had no filter.”
“Get to L.A. and played it, Dre put the filter on him, like, ‘Hold up, bro. Hold up, bro. Nah, bro. You going too far, man. And we had to re-record that s–t. I still got the version where he’s spazzing, man.” he added.
The narrator goes on to say that the original version of “Back Down” took aim at Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, JAY-Z, R. Kelly, Nas, Cam’ron and others. At the end of the track, he also invited Dr. Dre to jump in and say “f–k you” to the competition.
Instead, Dre had 50 Cent redo the track as a filtered version only going at Ja Rule and Murder Inc.
“That s–t was blackdown, he was going black on that, blacking out, bro. Whylin’ on these muthaf–kas. The s–t he was saying, it was like, ‘Bro, you can’t say that, what you doing? Yo, come on, Nas is still the homie.’ But he wanted to take everybody, man. It was like, ‘You can’t go after the God, bro.’ Everybody’s getting it. Cam, everybody. Back the f–k down. And that s–t was well-received, man. That s–t was hard as f–k.”
During a recent interview on Audacy’s Hip-Hop Made podcast with host Mike Street, Kid Capri talked about his favorite rappers and how the majority of people decide on their Top 5 hip-hop artists.
The New York City DJ and rapper discussed how he believes that Eminem is denigrated because he is white and that he raps better than those who hate on him.
“Everybody goes by the popularity of the person instead of the real skill set. Everybody keep going at Eminem because he’s white. You’re mad because he’s doing Black stuff better than you are. Like 50 said. That’s what it is. The boy is nice, you can’t take that from him. Wisely use his name in your mouth every time. That boy is nice. You can not f–k with him on stage at all. ” said Kid Capri.
50 Cent said something similar years ago to defend Slim Shady from haters: “Hip Hop is Black music, without question, and, unfortunately for some people, it’s tough to accept that you have a White artist that does it better than Black artists.”
This is not the first time Capri made statements in defense of Eminem. During an interview with HipHopDX last year, he explained how Lil Pump dissing Eminem inspired his latest album, The Love.
“That was just one of the things that did inspire,” Capri said at the time. “I got tired of seeing the younger dudes thinking that the older people ain’t capable. Like we ain’t been here building this business from the ground up from day one.
Then he continued: “Sometimes, it is the truth. A lot of older people, they get out of touch. They don’t want the younger people to come in and do their thing, and it be just back and forth exchange.
“But when I watch Lil Pump disrespect a dude that became the Elvis of Hip Hop, this dude that sold millions and millions of records, created opportunities for so many people and is one of the greatest MCs on the planet, for him to just disrespect him like that, we losing our respect level.” he added.
“You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.” said Nick Cannon.
50 Cent does not appear to have taking kindly Canon’s insults as he took to Instagram on Monday to hit back without even mentioning Nick’s name: “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. Your not going to make it, have a nice day.” Fifty wrote in the caption while sharing a black picture with “It’s never luck. It’s always God” written over it.
This is not the first time 50 Cent and Nick Cannon have exchanged words. During an interview with VLAD TV back in 2020, Cannon revealed that his song “Used To Look Up To You” was about 50 Cent rather than Eminem. Appearing on the Breakfast Club few days later 50 called Nick Cannon a “legendary corny” and stated that he would never respond to him.

Cannon made the comments about Fiddy while discussing Vivica Fox during the latest episode of his “The Daily Cannon” podcast show.
Fox, Fify’s ex-girlfriend from the early 2000s, recently revealed that she would be open to dating the hip-hop icon again.
“You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now.” said Nick. On which one of the hosts replied: “I would still date the s–t out of him. I’m gonna dress like a total w-ore that day when 50 comes on this show.”
Then Cannon continues: “He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.”
Nick Cannon shared the clip on Instagram with the caption: “#VivicaAFox revealed that she wants to date @50cent again but #TheDailyCannon ladies shootin their shot too!” You can check the post below:
In a recent interview with Vulture magazine, 50 Cent revealed that when shopping to find a home for the original “Power” TV series, a lot of the heavy-hitter companies such as HBO, Hulu, Paramount, and Showtime were not interested in the project.
“We went to all these organizations in the early stages. They probably had something else they felt was similar, or it wasn’t what they was looking for. I’m sure now they wish they didn’t pass on it.” Fiddy explained.
What’s more, when STARZ decided to take a chance on the show, the network saw proof it had made the right decision when “Power” became its biggest show, accomplishing record-breaking feats. Yet, despite the show’s success, 50 Cent said that things would get tricky when the time rolled around to renegotiate his contract.
For him, the amount that he was receiving per show did not properly reflect the time, effort, and energy put into the series. In fact, 50 Cent says the lowball payment would not have flown in the music industry.
“There’s no one that could come and tell me to take $17,000 to act and executive produce and make music. I gave them the theme song for ‘Power.’ I gave them the things that connected, hopefully, in a different way for it. You see what I’m saying? All those things for $17,000 per episode? I get paid more to go to the nightclub and wave.” – 50 Cent

Eminem has recently released EMINEM, Level Up playlist on Spotify which you can stream below:
The music catalog of David Darnell Brown, popularly known by his stage name Young Buck, is heading to the auction block to pay debts to his creditors and that includes his former G-Unit mate, 50 Cent.
AllHipHop.com can confirm that the catalog, comprised of performance royalties, mechanical royalties, publishing royalties, and song copyrights, was valued at over $700,000 by SongVest, a brokerage firm specializing in selling music royalties.
Trustee Erica R. Johnson believes that the catalog sale will generate sufficient funds to pay off all creditors, including 50 Cent, to whom Young Buck reportedly owes $250,000.
As part of the plan, SongVest will be engaged to facilitate the sale to a private network of approximately thirty investors.
It seems Young Buck is not worried about it. Yesterday, he put up a story on Instagram, saying he’s richer than ever and announced future plan with former Eminem’s Shady Records artist, Yelawolf.
“Real TRUE FRIENDS Are Really Rare. I Have A Lot Of Associates… But Only A Few TRUE FRIENDS!! Today I’m Giving My Brother/Real Friend @yelawolf His Flowers!! Thanks For EVERYTHING‼️ You Have Motivated Me To Keep Going No Matter What I’m Going Thru…Or Been Thru!! And I Can Honestly Say… THE BEST IS YET TO COME FROM BOTH OF US!!!
