50 Cent achieved a historic milestone with his ticket sales for The Final Lap tour.

The 48-year-old rapper kicked off the global tour in March 2023 and continued performing until December of the same year, with an extra show added in March. His tour included stops in major cities across the United States and around the world, such as Nashville, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Paris.

The Final Lap tour officially ended in December 2023 with 50 Cent’s last performance in Phoenix, Arizona on March 3. Despite the tour being over, it continues to make headlines as one of the top-grossing tours by a rapper, joining the ranks of Drake and Migos’ Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour, Drake’s It’s All a Blur Tour, and Kendrick Lamar’s The Big Steppers Tour.

With the tour behind him, 50 Cent is now preparing to release a new novel called The Accomplice, scheduled to be available on September 3.

"I aim to share an exciting heist story in my upcoming fiction novel," said 50 Cent in a statement to People in March. "The debut novel and its follow-up series will be truly captivating."

FBI agent Nia Robinson works in the robbery division, following in her father's footsteps after he was convicted of embezzlement. She joined the agency to clear his name and is determined to do so.

"Get ready for The Accomplice hitting the big screen soon," 50 Cent hinted to People. Along with his music career, the artist has also ventured into the world of publishing, releasing a number of nonfiction books including 2020's Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter.

In addition to his musical achievements, 50 Cent has also made a name for himself in the acting industry. When Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter was published, it was praised as his most candid work yet, delving into his remarkable journey from personal tragedy to becoming a successful entrepreneur and the highest-paid executive in cable television.

He started his music career in the 1990s and gained popularity in the 2000s. 50 Cent released five studio albums, with the last one called Animal Ambition in 2014, before transitioning to the film industry. Along with a few notable acting roles, he also helped create and acted in the TV series Power on Starz from 2014 to 2020. He later reprised his role in Power Book II: Ghost.

Despite his success in television, 50 Cent has not completely ruled out a return to music.

"I love how music always captures my attention whenever I need it. Recently, I had the amazing opportunity to tour 45 countries, and every show was completely sold out," he shared with Billboard in February 2023. "This experience inspired me to create new music that I can incorporate into my work now. I've achieved my goals in terms of sales, having sold over 35 million records - not just singles, but albums."
