NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Beyonce may have won the Album of the Year award for 'Cowboy Carter' at the 2025 Grammys but 50 Cent is quick to point out the fact that her tour tickets are hardly filling the stadium.

Amid reports that Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour is facing slower-than-expected ticket sales, 50 Cent took to Instagram to throw some serious shade.



 

The Cowboy Carter Tour officially kicked off on Monday, April 28, in Inglewood, California, before rolling through North America and Europe. It will end on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada. The tour supports her eighth studio album, 'Cowboy Carter'.

TMZ reported on Monday that thousands of seats were still available for Beyonce's opening night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. According to the report, there were nearly 3,800 empty seats with prices ranging from $47 to $331, and 50 Cent could not resist taking a swipe.

"S**t getting real out here," 50 Cent, who has built a second career as a social media provocateur, reportedly wrote in the caption of the post that he shared on Instagram. "Hey the tickets ain’t selling," he added.

The Cowboy Carter Tour sales struggle in key markets like Los Angeles has raised eyebrows.

Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour struggles to sell out stadiums

In February 2025, Beyonce announced her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter Tour in support of her 2024 album 'Cowboy Carter', which earned her the coveted Album of the Year award at the Grammys for the first time in her career. She also won the Best Country Album award.

Tour tickets went on sale that same month, sparking excitement among fans around the world.

However, as the tour approached, several observant fans noticed that some shows on the East and West Coasts were not sold out.

Furthermore, platforms like Ticketmaster were offering tickets at significantly low prices.

It was also claimed that over 5,800 tickets for the July 14 show at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium remain available for purchase.

On the East Coast, more than 500 tickets are unsold for the May 29 show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Ticket prices have significantly dropped from the initial rates when they first went on sale in February.

Tickets in SoFi's highest section were priced at $85.20, while Ticketmaster sold lower-level seats for $1,000.

In March, tour promoter Live Nation addressed speculation surrounding sluggish ticket sales for the Cowboy Carter Tour stating that more than 94% of tickets had already been sold.

A report published by Billboard on March 17 projected that the tour would generate approximately $294 million in revenue from the sale of 1.1 to 1.2 million tickets.

The report also noted that total earnings could surpass $325 million once the tour concludes.
