50 Cent’s smash single “Candy Shop” is the latest song to join the YouTube Billions Club. The music video was directed by Jessy Terreo and finds the rapper making his way through a mansion filled with beautiful women. The R&B singer Olivia, who contributes vocals on the song, is the video’s lead dancer. Lil Scrappy and G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck also make cameo appearances. In February 2005, the video debuted at No. 9 on MTV’s Total Request Live and remained on the chart for nearly 50 days. “Candy Shop” was nominated for Best Male Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.

Back in September, “Candy Shop” joined the Spotify Billions Club. The song originally appeared on 50 Cent’s sophomore record, 2005’s The Massacre, alongside tracks like “Disco Inferno” and “Just a Lil Bit.” Produced by Scott Storch, “Candy Shop” was a massive hit for the rapper, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming his third No. 1 single. The innuendo-filled track was nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
