The distinction came via music stats account Diverse Mentality, which dropped the news on December 30 after reviewing <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DverseMentality\/status\/2006037484799480171?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">YouTube\u2019s global streaming charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than popping champagne, 50 brushed it off like routine work. \u201cI thought we got over this guys, it is the way it is. LOL @bransoncognac,\u201d he wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/50cent\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The caption carried his trademark mix of sarcasm and confidence, signaling that this level of dominance no longer surprises him. 50 has always kept his pulse on New York City hip-hop while his classics continue to be relished by the city.<\/p>\n<p>Diverse Mentality made it clear this wasn\u2019t business as usual for anyone else. \u201c50 Cent\u2019s music has been dominating for years despite not releasing a new solo album since 2014!\u201d the account tweeted. <\/p>\n<p>The post highlighted YouTube\u2019s 2025 data, which showed 50 racking up a massive 1.9 billion views globally, putting him well ahead of the rest of New York\u2019s rap heavyweights.<\/p>\n<p>The distance between first and second place was hard to ignore. Nicki Minaj landed at No. 2 with 1.22 billion views, followed by Cardi B with 955 million.<\/p>\n<p>50 Cent Is The Most-Streamed NYC Rapper For Third Year In A Row<\/p>\n<p>Jay-Z came in fourth with 711 million, just ahead of 6ix9ine at 696 million. The rest of the list included Pop Smoke, French Montana, The Notorious B.I.G., A$AP Rocky, and Lil Tecca, rounding out the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>Diverse Mentality didn\u2019t mince words about the margin. According to the account, 50 \u201cdominated the numbers and by dominated we mean by a long distance from the other New York rappers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The framing positioned the moment as proof of longevity rather than a short-term win.<\/p>\n<p>50\u2019s response leaned into that idea. \u201cIt is the way it is,\u201d he wrote, framing the achievement as inevitable. <\/p>\n<p>The added \u201cLOL\u201d kept it light, while the Branson Cognac tag reminded fans that his empire stretches far beyond music. 50 Cent released new music in 2025 in support of his upcoming U.K. boxing series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hot97.com\/new-hip-hop-music\/kendrick-lamar-loe-shimmy-50-cent-ken-carson-mickey-factz-lil-baby-more-new-music-you-might-have-missed-this-week\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fightland<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The moment reinforces 50 Cent\u2019s rare position in hip-hop. Even without a new solo album in over a decade, his catalog continues to move at elite levels. At this point, he isn\u2019t chasing relevance. The streams keep chasing him.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"50 Cent is letting the numbers talk again, as it was revealed that the mogul crowned the most-streamed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":482470,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[4089,5229,218428,194291,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,6584,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-482469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-50-cent","tag-america","tag-curtis-jackson","tag-most-streamed","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-streaming","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115814447482713639","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/482470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
