Pop Smoke‘s Shoot For the Stars, Aim For the Moon album returned atop the Billboard 200, Billboard announced on Sunday (October 18). The late Brooklyn rhymer’s debut effort edged out 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode 2 by about 1,000 copies in its second week to take the crown.
50 Cent, who was an executive producer of Pop’s posthumous album, took to Instagram on Monday (October 19) to share the news and boast just a little bit in classic 50 fashion and even show some love to 21 Savage.
“This shit number one again @roddyricch,” 50 began. “I told you she want to fuck wit the Woo, but I ain’t gonna front that 21 Savage shit is slapping they both #1 to me right now.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhyrY7nhU3/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=12&wp=500&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fhiphopdx.com&rp=%2Fnews%2Fid.58536%2Ftitle.50-cent-reacts-to-pop-smokes-album-returning-to-no-1-shows-love-to-21-savages-savage-mode-2#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3211.6799999998875%2C%22ls%22%3A2747.0250000001215%2C%22le%22%3A2749.615000000176%7DView this post on Instagram
