50 Cent hasn’t released an album in over a decade, but that hasn’t stopped him from being named the most-streamed rapper from New York in 2024.
Over the last 12 months, 50 has accumulated 1.89 billion streams on YouTube, more than other NYC giants such as JAY-Z, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
As expected, the G-Unit boss feeling on top of the world with the news, posting screenshots of his stats on Instagram and reminding fans that this was something he prophesized some time ago.
“I told you I run New York in 05, Nothing has changed! LOL Don’t believe me check the numbers,” he wrote.
Over the same period (January 21, 2024 to January 21, 2025), Nicki was the second most-streamed New York rapper with 1.43 billion YouTube views, followed by Cardi (921 million) and Hov (721 million).
Pop Smoke (715 million), A$AP Rocky (619 million), Biggie (567 million), Busta Rhymes (412 million), Diddy (386 million), DMX (376 million) and Nas (313 million) also pulled in considerable numbers on the platform.
50 Cent has also been enjoying huge success in Hollywood in the early stages of 2025.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, which was produced by the media mogul, recently debuted at the top of the box office, bringing in $15 million over its opening weekend, surpassing expectations.
Reacting to the success on social media, Fif wrote: “Check me out Den of Thieves 2 #1 in theaters what away to start 2025.”
Unlike the first film, 50 does not appear onscreen. However, Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Gerard Butler reprise their roles as a bank robber and police officer, respectively.
50 has also been tipped to host this year’s Emmy Awards by actor and comedian DeRay Davis, despite having no previous presenting experience.
Speaking to TMZ earlier this month, the Blindspotting star said: “This is gonna sound crazy — and I don’t know if he’d do it — [but] I think 50 Cent should host the Emmys. He’s funny … and deserving. Why not?
50 soon caught wind of Davis’ comments and made it clear that he would actually be interested in turning awards host for the night.
He wrote on Instagram: “@deraydavis this is so cool, you saying this made my day. 2025 is gonna be the year. Turn down for what!”
lloyd banks putting out some dope rhymes
Streams mean nothing. I remember buying 100k views on a YouTube video i made as a kid for $20. Point being, there is not authenticity in streaming data. I bet at minimum 10% of each social media/free unpaid streaming sites traffic is bots, unfortunately order to drum up ad revenue.
No also he’s on the Diddy list. He got down with Eminem and dre not to mention he did on to soulja boy what Diddy did to Justin
I heard he forced your father to suck him off too.. How’s he doing now? Is his bruised throat healed ?
Yup and he’s working with Tyler Perry the Diddy of ATL
Lol yessss sirrrrr
Curtis with his change cup looking for attention
Yeah, I’m sure he’d love to switch bank accounts with you. now put the fries in the bag, it’s getting late.
50 no1 cares about streams …your jus happy to beat jay in anything….but money/rhyming not even close jus b happy ur not caught up n da bs…end of da day he’s jus better with more cheddar..but u troll more …
Yeah no also Kay Flock, Fivio Foriegn, Fab, Jadakiss, and respect to DMX and Big L and DMC is still walking the town.
50cent needs to grow up. Trumpf runs NY along with Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg. A convicted felon. Because white folks stick together good bad ugly everything. And 50 wants to attack folks excessively. Black folks need to shut up.
They need positive to unite as positive mentors. Hip-hop is dead 🙄
