50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' Celebrates 20 Years with Final Lap Tour

50 Cent is currently in the throes of his Final Lap Tour in support of Get Rich or Die Tryin', which dropped over 20 years ago on Feb. 6, 2003. In an interview with XXL in July, 50 said the tour would be a long time on the road. He added that moving forward it's likely he wouldn't be able to commit to this much time away from home.

"I won't be able to commit to a tour as long as this," he said. "This tour's 93 dates. It'll be one of the biggest hip-hop tours of the year because it won't stop. It'll just go through next year By the time we done, because of the groundwork that I laid touring, I literally can world tour. The other artists, when they say they going on a world tour, it means they're going on a run, but it's not a world tour. My music is just coming full circle now."
