In a recent interview with VladTV, Tony Yayo expressed admiration for the tour’s scale and organization, emphasizing 50 Cent’s meticulous planning and financial commitment. “Everybody’s coming there, of course, to work for 50, ’cause 50 cuts the budget. But when you think of everything that’s behind it, from production, road management, catering, dancers, f*ckin’ stewardess on the jet, pilots — everybody’s like one big team,” he revealed. “And 50 pays for everything.”
Yayo also disclosed that 50 Cent ensured fair compensation for everyone involved, including himself. According to him, the tour’s merchandise sales alone generated substantial revenue, highlighting 50 Cent’s enduring status as an icon in the industry. “His merch is in the millions.

It’s cool. I’m not worried about that. Trust me, I’m making a great check […] The money is great, the money is excellent,” he affirmed.
