The tour is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of his first major album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, which gave birth to songs like In da Club and 21 Questions. His second commercial success was from the single Candy Shop.
50 Cent has won several accolades over the years, including three American Music Awards, a Grammy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and four BET Awards.
