The Final Lap Tour was a concert tour by American rapper 50 Cent to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of his blockbuster album Get Rich or Die Tryin, along with Busta Rhymes supporting and special guest in all dates and Jeremih in North America dates.^[1] It kicked off on July 21, 2023, in Salt Lake City and concluded on December 14, 2023, in Auckland, New Zealand.^[2] The tour consisted of 103 shows and three legs across North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.^[3]^[4]

In December 2023, the Auckland, New Zealand concert was marred by controversy thanks to security issues with the venue Spark Arena and their security contractor Platform 4 who removed a couple who had paid for their seats after 2 men took those seats and refused to move.^[5] So far, Spark Arena have refused to provide any compensation to the couple and are stonewalling any media attempts for information.

Billboard reported that The Final Lap Tour grossed $103.6 million, with over 1.05 million tickets sold across 83 shows in North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia, becoming just the third rap tour ever to cross $100 million.^[6]
