50 Cent Throws Shade at Low Sales Rappers, ‘I Shouldn’t Talk To Anyone Moving 31k Units

In the dynamic world of rap, where fans passionately champion their favorite artists and success is often measured in sales, 2023 has been a year of both triumphs and disappointments. Despite notable debuts by artists like Lil Durk and Young Thug, nearly half the year passed without a single rap album claiming the top spot on the Billboard 200. However, the game changed with the releases of Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, and Travis Scott, each boasting impressive first-week sales.

Enter 50 Cent, a seasoned pro at moving units, who recently shared his candid thoughts in a behind-the-scenes video during The Final Lap Tour. The hip-hop mogul boldly declared that he “shouldn’t talk to” any rapper struggling to sell more than 31k copies. This statement ignited a fierce debate among fans, prompting speculation about which artist 50 Cent was referring to and whether he still holds the authority to make such statements.

Some fans speculate that 50 may be targeting a recent album that fell short of sales expectations. One comment on the post suggests disappointment in the collaborative effort of rap heavyweights Meek Mill and Rick Ross, whose album, despite high expectations, only managed 35k in first-week sales—a relatively modest figure.

In the comment section, fans are also deliberating on 50 Cent’s own potential album sales in 2023. “Ain’t no way 50 cent selling 31k these days,” asserts one top comment. What are your thoughts on 50 Cent’s blunt observations regarding rappers moving 30k copies? Share your opinions in the comments below.

Honk Magazine - Sexyy Red

Sexyy Red is known for her bold style, but her recent attempt to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t go well. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, she posted an AI-generated image of herself with Dr. King, placed in what looked like a nightclub party scene. While she likely intended to celebrate him, the reaction was unfavorable, especially after Dr. Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Dr. King, criticized the post.

Dr. Bernice King found the image “distasteful” and argued that it did not honor her father’s legacy properly. She pointed out that having Dr. King in a party setting undermined his significant contributions to civil rights. On Twitter, she said, “This is not how we honor my father,” and urged Sexyy Red to take the image down immediately.
