50 Cent has once again crowned himself the "King of New York" following a new streaming milestone.
According to YouTube, the rapper and media powerhouse outpaced any other New York-bred rapper in 2024, racking up 1.89 billion streams on the platform.
This accomplishment beats out fellow New Yorkers like Nicki Minaj, who landed second place with 1.43 billion streams, Cardi B at 921 million, and Jay-Z with 721 million, per Vibe.
Also rounding out the top 10 were the late Pop Smoke (715 million), A$AP Rocky (619 million), The Notorious B.I.G. (567 million), Busta Rhymes (412 million), Diddy (386 million), and DMX (376 million).
But in true Fif fashion, the "Many Men" artist bragged on his accomplishment via Instagram.
"I told you I run New York in 05, Nothing has changed!" he wrote, referencing his Tony Yayo-assisted track "I Run New York." "LOL Don’t believe me check the numbers."
On a mainstream level, Fifty returned to his "I run New York" declaration on his 2007 single "I Get Money."
Fif, whose last album release was 2014's Animal Ambition, has redirected his attention from music to film and television with projects like the Power universe and expanding his G-Unit Film & Television Studios with a campus in Shreveport, Louisiana, last year.
For a quick six-show run from late December to early January, Fif performed a Las Vegas residency to mixed reactions.
