Entertainment mogul Curtis “50 Cent<\/a>” Jackson is notorious for seizing every chance to boast about his accomplishments. Whether it’s launching a new TV series, striking a deal with a liquor brand, or just casually demonstrating his business acumen on any given day, self-promotion is a hallmark of his.<\/p>\n

Streaming habits have been shifting recently, with fluctuations in overall numbers. Changes in music algorithms and increased accessibility to artists are altering how consumers engage with music. As a result of these changes, 50 Cent recently highlighted his success on YouTube Music, announcing via Instagram that he accumulated 164 million streams in March, meaning he had out-streamed many of his fellow rappers that month.<\/p>\n

The list prompted varied reactions in the comments, including skepticism, with one user advising, “Y\u2019all believe anything lmao. Google is free,” and another surprised that a major figure like Drake<\/a> was omitted: “Surprised that Drake is not on this list.”<\/p>\n
