Rick Ross's new album 'Richer Than I Ever Been' is in stores, but it doesn't look like it will have a big first week and 50 Cent fans are taking notice.

Rick Ross has put a lot of promotion behind his new album Richer Than I Ever Been, plastering the project on giant billboardsand armored trucksacross the country. Judging by the first week sales projections, however, Rozays latest effort has failed to generate the usual bawse-level buzz and fans of his longtime rival 50 Centhave taken notice. According to HITS Daily Double Richer Than I Ever Been which dropped on December 10 is expected to move 30,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week, good for a No. 20 debut on the Billboard 200. If that forecast holds up, Richer Than I Ever Been will mark the lowest-selling and lowest-charting album of Rick Ross career. Previously, that title belonged to 2015s Black Market, which landed at No. 6 after managing just 65,000 first-week copies a far cry from the MMG moguls 218,000 peak with 2012s God Forgives, I Dont. Rick Ross 'Richer Than I Ever Been' is on pace to sell 30K first week. DJ Akademiks (@Akademiks) December 14, 2021 Fans of 50 Cent were quick to clown Rick Ross for his tepid sales projections, especially after the Miami native ridiculed 50 for his alleged earnings from his BMF STARZ seriesin a recent interview with GQ. I know he made $250K off the whole season, and thats good, Ross taunted. Tell him I said, Congratulations. 50s 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 @50cents shows generated revenue yet his album sales were only 30k!! He needs 50s 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.
