50, who is currently on the international leg of his tour, will perform his last show on Dec. 21 in Abu Dhabi.

It’s been quite a productive year for the Queens-bred rapper.

He won a $6.2 million judgment against the former director of Brand Management for Sire Spirits, Mitchell Green, who reportedly siphoned $2.2 million from the company.
The prominent television producer and hip-hop entrepreneur signed his first multi-year partnership with an NHL team, agreeing to bring his Sire Spirits to the Vegas Golden Knights.
50 acquired 985,000 square feet of space that will become home to the upcoming G-Unit studio.
Sire Spirits became the “Official Spirit Partner of the Timberwolves” with its award-winning Branson Cognac.
His G-Unity Foundation will be highlighted during the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, as Sire Spirits became the official alcohol partner of the Indiana Pacers, and the game will be held in Indianapolis.
The rapper has also inked a deal with Fox Entertainment.
