50 Cent has questioned Nicki Minaj coming in at number four on the list of highest grossing Hip Hop tours.
Complex recently ranked the recent swath of hugely successful Hip Hop tours based on ticket sales, with Drake topping the list with his It’s All a Blur Tour, which grossed a staggering $320 million.
However, there’s controversy over the next two spots with Nicki Minaj and 50 Cent both pulling in $108 million with their respective global treks.
50 took issue with the figures, commenting on Instagram: “I don’t know where they got these numbers from but they are wrong @nickiminaj would be in the 3rd slot. She worked hard as a mother man don’t do that. She did 2 legs on the Gagg city tour.”
Nicki herself also appeared to dispute the results, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “Show me the data.”
The financials for the list came from Touring Data who reported that Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour generated $108.8 million from 786,840 tickets across 70 shows.
The figures mean Nicki is the first female rapper to gross over $100 million from a single tour, and just the fifth Black woman to surpass the mark following Beyoncé, Rihanna, SZA and Tina Turner.
50’s own Final Lap Tour fell just a few hundred thousand dollars short of Nicki’s, pulling in $108.4 million from 96 dates, per Touring Data.
It’s currently a golden age for Hip Hop tours with the G-Unit boss recently announcing that he will be doing his first-ever Las Vegas residency.
Titled In Da Club, the residency consists of six shows at PH Live, a venue inside of Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, in late December and early January, including one on New Year’s Eve.
According to TMZ, 50 is being paid $15 million for the half-dozen Sin City shows, averaging out to $2.5 million per night.
“I always bring the energy, and Las Vegas is the perfect spot to create an unforgettable experience for my fans,” he said in a statement, per Vegas’ News 3. “We’re talking big production, surprises, and the ultimate New Year’s Eve party for my Vegas residency.”
Pre-sale begins on Wednesday (October 16) while tickets go on sale to the general public on Saturday (October 19). Details can be found at Ticketmaster.
