The post 50 Cent’s Sire Spirits Teams Up With Minnesota Timberwolves For Exciting NBA Season Partnership appeared first on SOHH.com.
50 Cent has been doing big things with his Sire Spirits brand. Branson Cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi Champagne are under this umbrella, and overall, they are both fan favorites. In fact, Fif has been able to get these brands into arenas around the NBA. The Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Houston Rockets all have Sire Spirits as options at their facilities. Subsequently, 50 has been trying to get his brand into all 30 NBA arenas. Recently, he came one step closer to accomplishing that as he signed a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Consequently, fans at the Target Center will be able to purchase Sire Spirits products. Moreover, the 200-level of the arena will even get a brand-new bar containing cocktails made with Fif’s various properties. Overall, this is a huge deal for the legendary artist, who continues to build an impressive empire. Additionally, it should be noted that there is a philanthropic angle to this deal. Through the G-Unity Foundation, 50 Cent and the Timberwolves organization will get to host basketball clinics for the youth.
“I had the opportunity to meet with the Timberwolves and knew they were the perfect partners for Sire Spirits,” 50 Cent said in a statement. “I am a big fan of the team, and I am excited to spend more time in Minnesota and get to know all the fans.” This sentiment was echoed by Timberwolves COO Ryan Tanke. “We are excited to launch this partnership with Sire Spirits and to introduce Wolves fans to Sire’s award-winning cognac and champagne,” Tanke said. It is clear that Fif will now be spending a lot more time in Minnesota over the coming months.
It will be interesting to see where else 50 Cent is able to bring his brands. The man is a master when it comes to marketing, and NBA teams love that. Moreover, players love him as someone they grew up listening to. That makes Sire Spirits a match made in heaven for a lot of franchises. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

50 Cent and Vivica Fox had a highly publicized and tumultuous relationship that began in 2003 and ended in 2004. No one expected the two, who share more differences than similarities, to hit it off. Fox had quite a number of successful films by the time she met Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. 50’s career kicked off back in 2002 when he dropped the “Wanksta” single and banger tracks like “P.I.M.P.” and “In da Club.”
50 Cent first mentioned Vivica at the 2003 BET Awards when he gave her a shoutout. He thanked her for “wearing that dress,” a phrase that sounded like a joke at the time. With a host of complications impeding celebrity relationships, this one ended in the predicted script format. Despite being short-lived, 50 Cent and Vivica’s connection certainly brought some spark to the celebrity dating scene.
In 2003, they hit the red carpet and attracted public attention. At the MTV Video Music Awards, 50 Cent and Fox were seen holding hands. Fans quickly took this sign to confirm the speculation of the two dating. With the media and public to get more information, the pair decided to keep it hush-hush. While the couple was dating, 50 Cent released the track “21 Questions.” This only increased the speculations of the love affair with Vivica, with the bars on the track showing the intimate side of the rap star. Additionally, he had another starlet as his leading lady in the visual: Meagan Good.
In 2003, Fif spoke about his romance with Fox while on Howard Stern’s radio show. The rapper alleged that the actress only wanted to date him for publicity. He also stated that they went public with their relationship too quickly, and even took questions about their intimate moments. 50 Cent revealed he didn’t even break up with her—he just left her on read. By 2004, the friendship between the pair was fractured, and each was in interviews commenting on the other.
After 50 Cent made a disparaging song referencing the actress, Vivica defended herself. She snapped back at the rapper’s claim of her only wanting publicity. It would take years—six, to be specific—before both sides were waving their white flags. Fox starred in one of the Rap mogul’s music videos in 2010. Then, surprisingly, in 2015, Vivica went on a talk show and called 50 Cent the “love of my life.” People were taken aback, considering their short-lived, two-month affair.
In 2015, 50 Cent commented on Instagram stating his opinion on why the show Empire dipped. He mentioned that due to “gay stuff,” the show’s success would decline and not have the success it had enjoyed in its first season. In response, Fox made a controversial comment that would stir social media into a frenzy.
In an interview with Andy Cohen, Fox called it a case of the pot calling the cattle black. The suggestion that 50 Cent was gay sent the internet into a firestorm. Fif loves a good clap back, so he retaliated as he only knew how. The feud was back on as the ex-lovers were at odds. The next few years would be relatively silent between the two, but every so often, one may mention the other. It seemed that 2017 was the year things were publicly all good, although a few hiccups here and there weren’t uncommon.
The two had undergone a rough patch during their relationship. However, it seemed the love they had shared was real. In defense of this, in 2022, Vivica came to 50 Cent’s defense in an episode of Cocktails with Queens. While 50 Cent had been accused of having undergone a procedure to enlarge his penis, she quickly defended it. Being a sensitive topic, she did not hesitate to defend her ex and could be seen as having a soft spot for the highly controversial 50 Cent.
Despite their brief relationship, 50 Cent and Vivica Fox’s relationship is one that stood out among the rest. With the two sharing nothing but respect between them, it remains a mystery what happened between the two. Whether the two were a compatible pair or it was just a brief stint remains a mystery.
This past weekend was an undoubtedly busy one for Drake. However, thousands of his fans felt let down by the cancellation of his headlining set at Lollapalooza on Saturday (March 25). The sad news came shortly after videos of the Canadian partying with 50 Cent at a club in Florida surfaced online, causing some to speculate that a wild night out on the town was more enticing to Drizzy than arriving on time for his highly anticipated scheduled performance. Brazilian fans didn’t hesitate to let their disdain be known. Some even cursed out the foreign artist after the festival replaced him with EDM DJ Skrillex.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo,” a translated statement from the event’s social media pages explains. “Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Sorry.” In response, one angry Twitter user wrote, “GRINGOS IN F*CKING LATIN AMERICA. I HATE Y’ALL.”
Even with all the backlash he’s facing for ditching Lollapalooza to party with the Power producer, Drake continues to show his support for 50 Cent. On Monday (March 27), a photo of the father of one wearing a G-Unit shirt while chatting with a man in a suit began making rounds online. The “I Get Money” hitmaker is the only artist to appear on the black tee, a bandana covering the lower half of his face and a giant chain draped around his neck.
Champagne Papi was looking similarly stylish, wearing his own infamous chain made of 32 engagement rings, said to be from past failed relationships. The 36-year-old also sported a thin, shorter necklace layered underneath, and a gold watch on his wrist. The photo was on Drake’s Instagram Story last night. It’s obviously seen a strong reaction from the internet following his latest antics. On the bright side, while the Scorpion hitmaker did cancel his set, he somewhat made up for it by teasing a new track on social media that sounds as though it has some serious song of the summer potential. Read more about that here, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

50 Cent’s transition from rap superstar to a very successful executive producer of some of today’s most popular television shows is one that’s unmatched by many. His venture into the film industry began back in 2003 when he launched the film company G-Unit Films. In 2008, he launched Cheetah Vision which produces low-budget action thrillers for film markets across the world. G-Unit Films folded momentarily, but in 2010, 50 Cent revived it G-Unit Films and Television Inc. Under it, 50 Cent has teamed with STARZ and other TV companies to release great television shows that have grown to be favorites in households all over America.
Since the 2010 re-launch of G-Unit Films and Television Inc., keeping up with the various shows that 50 Cent has produced can be quite a task, especially if you’re new to it all. The following list will include all the shows that he’s executive produced starting with his trademark series Power, which as many of us now know, has expanded into its own universe. There are also other shows on this list that didn’t have the long life that Power did, and we’ll give some insights into some future releases that 50 Cent & Co. have on the way. This list will also be updated as new information comes out. So without further ado, here is what has existed, currently does, or will exist in 50 Cent’s cinematic universe.

I knew it would be a success here also. “ Dream School launched in 2013 and went on to have two seasons and a total of ten episodes that featured civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, rapper Chuck D, rapper, producer, and DJ Swizz Beatz, chef David Cheng, astronaut Mae Jemison, and more as celebrity teachers.

Power is a crime drama television series that 50 Cent created and produced with Courtney A. Kemp. The show launched its first season in the summer of 2014 and went on to have six successful seasons before coming to an end in the winter of 2020. Power followed the story of James St. Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick, who was a smart and quick-on-his-feet drug dealer who went by the street name “Ghost.” The series follows his desire to exit the drug game and maintain and law-abiding life as a businessman who is the owner of a nightclub, Truth. Throughout the show’s six seasons, we watch St. Patrick’s attempts to balance his street life and business life with the hope of exiting out of the former. However, the pressures of street and business enemies, a crumbling marriage, grief, and more make that exit harder than expected. In the end, it leads to a tragic conclusion that sparks the beginning of three spin-offs of the original Power series.

In the spring of 2017, Crackle announced that The Oath had been green-lighted for production on an inaugural season that would consist of 10 episodes. The show was created and written by Joe Haplin who also served as the series’ showrunner alongside 50 Cent who would executive produce the series. As explained in an official synopsis, The Oath explores “a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend and sheds light on corrupt and secret societies that are nearly impossible to join.” It’s a crime drama series that’s on-brand to most shows that 50 Cent has helped produce under G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

For Life is probably one of the more underrated entries in 50 Cent’s cinematic universe. Released in 2020, the ABC drama series went on for two seasons and 23 episodes with Hank Steinberg as the creator. For Life was inspired by the true story of Isaac Wright Jr. who was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Wright Jr. is portrayed by Nicholas Pinnock who plays a man named Aaron Wallace. Just like Wright Jr., Wallace became an attorney during his time in prison and helped to overturn the wrongful convictions of several inmates before doing the same for himself. After his release from prison, Wallace would continue to help inmates have their convictions overturned. “I look at producing like finding the most significant stories, and then you come to a point where the facts are better than fiction,” 50 Cent said in a 2020 interview with Billboard. “For this, it wasn’t just the saying ‘one in a million.’ He really is just the only one.”

After the original Power series concluded in 2020, 50 Cent, the Power team, and STARZ announced four spin-offs of the original series. While one of them was eventually canceled, the remaining three have successfully continued the Power story and universe. Power Book II: Ghost was the first spin-off released and this series is based on the life of James “Ghost” St. Patrick’s son, Tariq, and the events that followed after the death of Ghost (sorry for the spoiler). In Power Book II: Ghost, Tariq is trying to navigate his new life as a college student while also trying to create a new legacy for himself and grow up to be much different than his father. Unfortunately, pressures to support his family in unimaginable ways result in Tariq being more similar to his father than he would’ve liked. Nonetheless, he tells himself that his decisions and actions are done to bring him one step closer to a life out of the streets.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan is the second spin-off in the Power series. Unlike the other two, this one goes back in time to tell the story of Kanan, the mentor-turned-rival of James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Kanan introduced Ghost into the drug game, but as it was revealed in the original Power series, Ghost’s relationship with Kanan soured when he and his wife Tasha set him up to be put in prison on a ten-year sentence. Power Book III: Raising Kanan hasn’t re-enacted the first interaction between Ghost and Kanan, but in the series’ first two seasons, we see how Kanan (played by Mekai Curtis) was introduced into the drug game. We see that Kanan’s experience in the streets is rooted in a family organization that was in place before him, as we see in Power Book II: Ghost. Though Power Book III: Raising Kanan has been billed as a fictional story, 50 Cent has said that he drew on his childhood experiences in Queens to shape some of the show’s stories.

Though BMF is not a part of the Power Universe, it does make use of the same qualities that make a 50 Cent-produced crime drama so enjoyable. The show is loosely based on the Black Mafia Family, the Detroit drug organization that was founded in 1985 and grew to be a nationally successful empire by the 2000s. Founded and led by Demetrius “Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, BMF was a well-oiled drug empire that had hubs in Atlanta and Los Angeles before they were taken down in 2005 with the Flenory brothers’ arrest. Demetrius “Meech” Flenory Jr. plays his father while Da’Vinchi takes on the role of Southwest T. In addition to showing the brothers’ start in the drug game, BMF also shows how values like family, loyalty, and played into the BMF’s rise and how other factors came in to foreshadow their eventual fall.

Power Book IV: Force is the most recently released spin-off of the original Power. This series is focused on the life of Tommy Egan (played by Joseph Sikora) after the death of James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Egan originally planned to drive from New York to California to start his new life, but a stop in Chicago brought him new opportunities and new information about his past. In the show’s inaugural season, Egan discovers the truth about his family, meets family members he was unaware of, finds love, and gets his hands dirty in the city’s drug game while ruffling some feathers. Everything about Tommy Egan in Power Book IV: Force is on-par with the quick-tempered individual we were introduced to and got to know in Power. Only this time, Tommy is in charge of everything which leads to both good and bad results.

Last fall, 50 Cent teamed up with Van Lathan for a new series that was tied to his musical roots, in an unfortunate way. Hip-Hop Homicides debuted in November 2022 as an unscripted weTV series that looked into the unsolved murders of hip-hop rappers from recent history. In the season’s first 8 episodes, the deaths of Pop Smoke, Chinx, XXXTentacion, King Von, and more were all examined with commentary from Lathan and others that aims to uncover how these murders occurred and hopefully provide new details that could solve their cases. The series’ first season concluded at the beginning of 2023, and while there’s no word yet on a second season, the hope is that the show returns to accurately cover more of the recent deaths that occurred in hip-hop.

For the early parts of 2023, 50 Cent teased a project that many believed was tied to the next release in the GTA series. He later revealed that the project was actually a new series called Vice City, which is also the rumored location of the next GTA installment. Vice City will be released through Paramount+ and be executive produced by Darnell Metayer (Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts) and Josh Peters (Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts) with Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise) serving as executive producer/director. According to Deadline, Vice City “follows three friends, and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid-80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal.” The article adds, “Disgraced, displaced, and forgotten by the country they served and with no good job prospects, the three friends partner with a mysterious Colombian immigrant, uniting their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew.”
In February 2023, 50 Cent signed a non-exclusive, broadcast direct deal with FOX. With the deal, 50 Cent and G-Unit Films and Television Inc. will develop both live-action and animated scripted series for the network. The deal is non-exclusive which allows him to produce other shows wherever he wants, like the aforementioned Vice City series. FOX will own any series greenlit through this deal and its in-house Fox Entertainment Studios will produce the releases alongside G-Unit Films and Television Inc.
“I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted, and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions,” 50 Cent said about the new deal.
This list will be updated with news about 50 Cent’s current and future productions.
Brazilian fans won’t welcome Drake again, mainly after canceling his set at Lollapalooza Brazil to link-up with 50 Cent. The “God’s Plan” rapper performed across Latin America this month ahead of his massive North American tour with 21 Savage. Unfortunately, hours before his set at Lollapalooza Brasil, the festival announced that he wouldn’t perform anymore. Apparently, the rapper lacked essential team members for his live show.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo,” reads a translated statement read on the festival’s social media pages. “Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Sorry.” Shortly afterward, though, Drizzy and 50 Cent linked up in a club in Miami. Many of his fans at the festival weren’t happy, even after Lolla Brasil offered refunds for replacing the Canadian star with Skrillex.
Before the news hit social media, a festival organizer emerged on stage to break the news to the audience and they were not happy about it. The crowd began to chant in Portuguese out of frustration at Drake’s cancellation. However, fans were even more vocal on social media after he and 50 Cent linked up at a Miami nightclub. “DRAKE CANCELLED HIS HEADLINING SLOT AT LOLLAPALOOZA BRAZIL SO HE COULD GO TO THE CLUB IN MIAMI WITH 50 CENT,” one fan wrote. “GRINGOS IN FUCKING LATIN AMERICA. I HATE Y’ALL.”
Unfortunately, there are other people who simply want to have Drizzy banned from festivals, at least the ones that took place in Latin America in the last week. Drake faced backlash after performing a relatively short set at Lollapalooza Argentina – 40 to 50 minutes – which is significantly shorter than most main festival acts. On top of that, he reportedly canceled a scheduled live stream of his set, leaving many of his fans who couldn’t attend the festival frustrated at home. Check out a few reactions below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Over the weekend, music and television mogul 50 Cent took to Instagram to speak candidly about the television industry and even threatened to expose the behind the scenes nuances of TV via FOX5NY’s long time urban news anchor Lisa Evers.
Without mentioning Evers by name, Fif said, “This lady from Fox 5 News called asking if I would speak to her about my experience in television. production. I said Like real behind the scenes? If she does this the TV is going to go black.”
Evers herself jumped in the comments to respond, saying, “Whaaaat ???!!! This lady 
is @lisaevers #fox5ny – same one who did your very first TV interview in 2003 ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ – same one who did a bunch of other interviews throughout your incredible career …. why you acting brand new? Lol Would love to tell this chapter of your story… meet me on Baisley Blvd South Jamaica …let’s talk.”

Drake’s international Lollapalooza sets aren’t going so well. Earlier this month, he cut his Lollapalooza Argentina set short, and this past weekend, he didn’t show up to his Lollapalooza Brasil performance at all.
On the morning of Sunday, March 26 (the day Drake was supposed to perform), a message shared on social media by Lollapalooza Brasil read (as translated via Google Translate), “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in São Paulo. Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Sorry.”
The festival tapped Skrillex to headline in Drake’s place and offered refunds if festivalgoers chose not to attend the final day. CNN Brasil notes that Willow, Dominic Fike, Blink-182, Omar Apollo, and 100 Gecs also pulled out of this year’s festival.
Per another CNN Brasil report, a video shared on social media shows Drake at a 50 Cent-led event at Miami’s Booby Trap On The River strip club, happily chatting with 50. This apparently happened hours before Drake canceled on Lollapalooza Brasil; The 50 Cent event was on Saturday night and the festival announced Drake would no longer be performing on Sunday morning. Some on social media also noticed that the jet Drake was set to take to Brazil deviated from its planned route before landing in Miami.

It’s not currently known if Drake’s presence at the party led to his Lolla cancellation, or if he decided to attend the event after it had already been determined he would not be able to perform at the festival.
