In December 2023, the Auckland, New Zealand concert was marred by controversy thanks to security issues with the venue Spark Arena and their security contractor Platform 4 who removed a couple who had paid for their seats after 2 men took those seats and refused to move.{{Cite web |last=Jacobs |first=Maxine |date=2023-12-26 |title=Couple's 50 Cent concert ruined by seat stealers, lax security at Spark Arena |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/301031053/couples-50-cent-concert-ruined-by-seat-stealers-lax-security-at-spark-arena |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Stuff |language=en}} So far, Spark Arena have refused to provide any compensation to the couple and are stonewalling any media attempts for information.

Billboard reported that The Final Lap Tour grossed $103.6 million, with over 1.05 million tickets sold across 83 shows in North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia, becoming just the third rap tour ever to cross $100 million.{{Citation |title=50 Cent's Final Lap Tour Makes History, Becoming Only Third Rap Trek Ever to Cross $100M|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/50-cent-final-lap-tour-grosses-100-million-rap-history-1235684967/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |language=en}}
