by

It’s a big week for TV fans and G-Unit riders alike. 50 Cent recently announced that his Starz series Black Mafia Family (or BMF) will receive three new spinoff series. Moreove, this comes hot off of another TV announcement from the hip-hop and media mogul. Recently, he spoke to Big Boy about upcoming music in an interview and said he’s developing an 8 Mile show.

However, back to his Starz efforts, 50 made the announcement during the Season 2 premiere of BMF at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood the night of Thursday, January 5th. According to Variety, fans can expect at least three new shows to expand the BMF universe.

“They got some really, really smart executives coming in to help rebuild Starz in the right way. And it’s exciting for me,” Fif stated. “You’ll get a chance to see three spinoff shows from ‘BMF.’ It’s ‘BMF’ immortal.”

Meanwhile, this followed the announcement that 50’s contract with Starz ended. Furthermore, the TV network has long worked with the Queens icon, from BMF to multiple series in his Power universe. Last October, the “In Da Club” MC inked a deal with media company Luisd Media for a three-project partnership.

“I am excited by the kind of stories we’re going to be bringing to life together, and can’t wait for the first project to reach Peacock next year,” he expressed. “G-Unit Film & Television continues to go from strength-to-strength, and this partnership with Lusid is another great collaboration for the team.”

However, don’t let 50’s TV success distract you from the fact he’s still a high-in-demand rapper, and that fans are waiting on new music from him this year. In an interview with Big Boy, he said that Eminem turned down an $8 million offer to perform at the World Cup. According to Fif, he was also a part of that deal, but he’s more excited about releasing a new album with the help of Slim Shady and Dr. Dre.

50 Cent Compares Megan Thee Stallion Case To Jussie Smollett

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s court case against her alleged shooter Tory Lanez took some wild turns in the courthouse. Amid missing witnesses, contradicting stories, and backtracked testimonies, Meg and Tory have both faced scrutiny and criticism for their accounts. However, the Houston rapper in particular reckoned with a lot of backlash to her experience and side of the story. 50 Cent is the latest to question Meg’s side, as he published a tweet comparing her to former Power star Jussie Smollett.

In 50’s post, he included a meme of Megan morphing into Smollett and a link to his G-Unit merch. Readers likely remember that the actor staged a racist and homophobic attack on himself in 2019 because he was not happy with his salary.

The New York rapper posted the caption, “Damn i’m confused all this shit going around i don’t know what to think. LOL.”

Meg’s been fighting for her case in public since April of this year, where she had her first TV appearance since the July 2020 shooting. Furthermore, she told CBS This Morning‘s Gayle King that she was never intimately close with her alleged shooter. However, in this week’s trial proceedings, the court found that her and Tory Lanez had been romantically involved. Also, Meg’s former best friend Kelsey Harris contradicted her previous testimonies that she saw Tory shoot Megan.

Therefore, her lawyers are concerned that there’s been witness tampering. Meanwhile, the Canadian rapper said that a fight broke out the night of the alleged shooting over jealousy. He claims that he slept with both friends, which started an argument. Moreover, Tory sent an apology to the “NDA” rapper, which he used as primary evidence in court.

He tweeted in February, “Good dick had me f**king 2 best friends, and I got caught. That’s what I apologized 4. It’s sick how u spun it tho.” Unfortunately, male rappers coming down on the female MC’s traumatizing experience has been a trend this year.
