In January 2020, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, just weeks before scooping an NAACP Image Award for directing the crime drama series, Power.
From Get Rich or Die Tryin', which was one of the fastest selling albums in history, the rapper has released five studio albums to date. As smooth in the boardroom as he is on the microphone, 50 also created one of the most influential deals in hip-hop, with the sale of Vitaminwater. His latest being 2014's, Animal Ambition, though he did share the 15-song strong Solid Gold Rhymes to streaming services in 2019.
