50 Cent has kicked off his worldwide Final Lap Tour in emphatic fashion as he made his first stop in Salt Lake City, Utah this weekend.
On Friday night (July 21), the G-Unit mogul, alongside Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, turned up the energy of the sold-out crowd with performances of classic hits such as “In Da Club,” “What Up Gangsta,” “Window Shopper,” and many more.

The G-Unit honcho will be making stops in cities such as Denver, Houston, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Detroit, before wrapping up the U.S. leg in Toronto at Budweiser Stage on September 22.
The European leg begins on September 28, and includes shows in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy and the U.K., where it comes to a close in November.
Any remaining tickets for the tour can be purchased here.
In May, 50 Cent took a moment to chat with his fans on Instagram Live and said the tour had sold over 500,000 tickets in just seven days.
“Because ticket sales are doing so well they’re adding new markets so the UK, North America and possibly Australia will be in there,” 50 said. “I gotta get to Africa. I got a lot of spots I gotta hit before I be done, because this is the Final Lap Tour.”
He continued: “I won’t be running around like this no more. I gotta do my film and television stuff and got a lot of other things going on behind the scenes that I gotta work on, so I won’t be out touring as much as I’ve been touring…I’m having fun this time because it’s set up to enjoy myself, we not feeling pressure.”
