50 Cent: "I'm Gonna Remind People I'm Nice This Year"

50 Cent has been busy exploring his numerous other business ventures, including TV and film, and spirits, but now he seems to again be focusing on his first love — rapping.

In an Instagram posted Sunday (Jan. 1), 50 saluted his longtime friend Eminem for being the most popular rapper on YouTube in 2022 with five billion views, and also alluded to dropping new music this year.

“That’s my Boy,” he captioned his post. “Im gonna remind people I’m nice this year. New Music New Tv New movie let’s go!"

Despite only releasing two songs last year, 50 Cent was listed as the 10th most popular rap artists on YouTube with an impressive 1.8 billion views, per Hip-Hop 24X7.

"I didn’t put nothing out in a while,” 50 said of the feat in another post. “I would be mad if I was new and I wasn’t on the list."

50's last album was 2014’s Animal Ambition, though he did talk about the possibility of dropping another full-length album last year on Houston's 97.9. The Box. "I still love music, I still wanna make music," he said. "A lotta times I give my ideas to the young cats who are around and tell them how to do it."

He went on to explain how rap is and has always been a young man's game. "I'm gonna be all the way a hundred with you — Hip-Hop, the hip part of Hip-Hop is youth culture. I don't think you're supposed to have the hottest verse at 50 years old. I think that the 16 and 15-year-old kids should be doing what keeps the culture thriving so it grows to new energy and new vibes."
