50 Cent’s no stranger to the world of video games. In fact, he’s one of the few rappers to successfully release not one, but two video games. The release of 50 Cent: Bulletproof arrived at the height of his career before he later followed up with 50 Cent: Blood In The Sand. Though they didn’t necessarily lead to critical acclaim or following that’s comparable to games like Call Of Duty, it undoubtedly proved that Fif was one of the best marketers in the rap game.
Unfortunately, there’s been a sharp decline in artists developing their own video game. Recent calls for the return of Def Jam: Fight For NY have been acknowledged by the iconic rap label, though there hasn’t been any real updates in recent times. However, Grand Theft Auto has undoubtedly brought more rappers into their universe, such as Dr. Dre, who appeared in The Contract. Though GTA 6 is supposedly emerging in the near future, it’s unclear who might be involved in the gameplay.
50 Cent Teases Grand Theft Auto Collab
As 50 Cent’s television resume continues to grow, it seems that he may have struck a deal with Rockstar. The rapper took to Instagram where he teased a potential collaboration surrounding Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. He didn’t specify what he was working on but he said it would be bigger than his hit TV series, Power. “I will Explain this later, GLG GreenLightGang this shit bigger than POWER trust me. BOOM,” he wrote.
Rockstar hasn’t shed light on the potential collaboration but there have been a few discussions surrounding a series based on Grand Theft Auto in the past. However, with 50 Cent’s recent non-exclusive deal with Fox to produce TV content, it seems like an upcoming show based on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City could become a great success. Still, fans are waiting on new information surrounding GTA 6. Last year, 53 minutes of gameplay leaked online, while several gaming sites hinted that the game would arrive next year ot the year after. Perhaps, 50 Cent’s recent post indicates his involvement in the highly-anticipated video game. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates.
