The International Final Lap tour kicked off in July of last year, hitting every major city you could think of from New York City to Milan, Italy.
With G-Unit’s Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda backing him the entire trek, Fif was able to give a stellar show that included theatrics, special guests, and more. Yayo spoke on the experience with his G-Unit brethren, whom he says paid for everything out of pocket — in an interview with VladTV back in February.
“His merch is in the millions. He’s an icon,” he praised the 48 year old. “You can ask anyone — the people that ran the tour from Live Nation — they’ll tell you, ‘Your favorite rapper can’t do what 50 just did.’ Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50, ’cause 50 cuts the budget. But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team and 50 pays for everything.”
50, né Curtis Jackson, recently revisited his Final Lap Tour set while performing at Mary J. Blige’s Strength of a Woman concert on May 11.
The 30 and up crowd rocked to a medley of 50’s classics including “Candy Shop,” “Many Men,” “In Da Club,” and many more. The Queens native delivered the works as he made his entrance on an accelerated stage, and included smoke, pyrotechnics, backup dancers, wardrobe changes, and more.
The TV mogul also surprised fans when he performed the theme song to his show Power, and was joined onstage by Larenz Tate, Michael Rainey Jr., Mekai Curtis, and Da’Vinchi (BMF).
