"In Da Club" dropped 20 years ago as the first single from his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin', which also celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. To honor the historic occasion, 50 Cent hit the road for "The Final Lap Tour 2023."

Fans also got to see the tour's supporting acts Jeremih, Busta Rhymes & Spliff Star. The tour will end in December.
This isn't the only major certification 50 Cent has received this year. As of January 2023, his other hit songs like "Outta Control" reached platinum status while others like "Ayo Technology," "Many Men," "Just A Lil Bit" and "21 Questions" are all 3x platinum and above.
