RICK ROSS’S ‘RICHER THAN I EVER BEEN’ SALES SHAMED BY 50 CENT FANS

Rick Ross has an album title to live up to. Dropping last Friday, Richer Than I Ever Been is a testament to his success and wealth, and Ross is keen on hyping it up. The rapper has been promoting his project on billboards and armored trucks across the country.

Rick Ross Releases New Album
Rick Ross’s Rich Than I Ever Been faces backlash from 50 cent fans.

According to Hip Hop DX, Ross’s first week of sales did not look so promising. His efforts have failed to generate what’s usually a high number of sales, triggering fans of his rival 50 Cent. HITS Daily Double states Richer Than I Ever Been is expected to sell 30,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week, good for a No. 20 debut on the Billboard 200.

If these poor numbers continue, Richer Than I Ever Been will mark the lowest-selling and lowest-charting album of Rick Ross’ career. That title still belongs to 2015’s Black Market, which landed at No. 6 after managing about 65,000 copies in the first week.

Fans of 50 Cent were quick to shame Rick Ross for his sales projections

Ross had previously ridiculed 50 based on his earnings from his BMF Starz series. The rap artist said, “I know he made $250k off the whole season, and that’s good,” Ross taunted. “Tell him I said, ‘Congratulations.’” 50’s fans fired back by questioning how the Biggest Bawse can poke fun at Curtis’ quarter-million TV bag when the Biggest Bawse is on pace to sell just 30,000 copies of his new album.

“Officer @RickRoss is bragging about @50cent’s show’s generated revenue yet his album sales were only 30k!! He needs 50’s reply for clout. Police officer acting like a gangsta,” one fan tweeted, while another said, “50 made more off BMF season 1 than this double plastic album.”
