by

The high viewership for season three of BMF has 50 Cent in the mood to tease new projects. “MF Up 25% in 3 day, progress is not a slow process over here. Wait till you see my two new spin off shows. GLG GreenLightGang you know the vibes. BOOM,” Fif wrote on Instagram. The Season 3 premiere brought in a million more viewers than its Season 2 counterpart. However, Fif did not reveal what the spinoffs would be about.

Elsewhere, STARZ also greenlit a fourth season for the show prior to the premiere of Season 3. “Fans can’t get enough of the history in the making that is BMF. We’re thrilled to start working on a new season that will continue bold storytelling of the legend of the Flenory brothers that has proven to resonate so deeply with our viewers,” STARZ president of original programming Kathryn Busby said.

50 Cent Challenges Kai Cenat To Prove He’s Good Enough To Appear On Power

Meanwhile, Kai Cenat will have to prove himself talented enough for a role on Power after Fif finally responded to Cenat’s request to appear on the show. “We gotta work it out. Look, we gotta make sure you can play the part, though. Look, look, look! It got to look as if shit was expensive. You gotta be dead-ass serious. I want to see you knock something off,” Fif told Cenat during a recent FaceTime call while Cenat was streaming.

Cenat first asked Fif for a role on the long-running series after meeting the G-Unit mogul at an NBA game. “Then 50 pulled back up, looking directly at me. This n-gga literally puts his hand on my shoulder — ‘Yo brah, take a picture with my little mans real quick; he f-ck with you,’” Cenat claimed of the interaction at a recent Knicks-Bucks game. “I wasn’t in the moment of time of thinking that you were right there in front of me, but I should’ve asked you, ‘Would you let me on Power, 50?’ So I need everybody to get this video to 50,” Cenat added while recounting the meeting.

50 Cent On BMF Arrests: “Ain’t This A B***h”

by

50 Cent’s TV series BMF is based on the real money laundering and drug trafficking group, so real-world developments have a big part to play in the series. Moreover, a big series of arrests in connection to the Black Mafia Family in Missouri might just result in another storyline. The G-Unit mogul took to Instagram on Thursday (October 19) to react to this news and comment on its entertainment potential. Of course, given that he’s juggling a few different programs at the moment, he has to get inspiration through every lane he can. Still, when you’re as perceptive and good with your gut instincts as the Queens rapper, it’s easier to find what will be the next conflict of interest for audiences.

“BMF again,” 50 Cent wrote with an eyes emoji and a mind-blown emoji, responding to these arrests. “Ain’t this a b***h, J BO story is a spin off I’m a put it on the tube you know the vibes.” Chad E. “JBo” Brown was one of the individuals that police officials recently arrested in Missouri that connects to the BMF. Furthermore, the Eastern District of Missouri shared on Thursday that authorities arrested 34 individuals on drug trafficking and fraud charges.

“These indictments and arrests targeted an organization that did not just limit their crimes to drug trafficking,” Sayler A. Fleming, U.S. Attorney, remarked. “Others have been accused of laundering money for the organization or taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to fraudulently obtain thousands of dollars in loans that were intended for struggling businesses and employees.”

“This week’s take-down demolished multiple drug trafficking organizations which were the main suppliers of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine into the St. Louis region,” the FBI St. Louis Division’s Special Agent in Charge Jay Greenberg added. “Today’s arrests of more than two dozen suspects by the St. Louis Gateway Strike Force is a culmination of a four-year investigation into a world of violence frequently associated with drug trafficking.” We’ll see what other ramifications this poses for Fif’s television empire. Meanwhile, for more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent and the BMF, stick around on HNHH.

Netflix Orders Animated “Stranger Things” Show

by

Since 2016, Stranger Things has been one of the hottest things on TV. The science fiction show about a town in Indiana that becomes plagued by monsters and mysteries has a rabid fanbase and avid following. The show’s young stars, including Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard, have become sensations in their own right. Brown especially has found herself in the media and tabloid spotlight for a variety of reasons.

However, Stranger Things is coming to an end. Season 5, which is due to begin filming later this year, will bring the show’s near-decade run to an end. After a fair amount of globe-trotting in recent seasons, the show will once again focus on Hawkins, Indiana. The Duffer Brothers, the creative team behind the smash hit, have confirmed that while the main show will end, it is not the end of the show’s story.

Animated Spin-Off Latest Addition To “Stranger Things” Slate

Announced Monday, an animated Stranger Things spin-off has been ordered by Netflix. Rumors of anime-inspired or animated Stranger Things show have been floated for several years. Little is known about the show, which will be run by Eric Robles and executive produced by The Duffers. Robles is a former character designer who has worked on shows such as Skunk Fu, Fanboy & Chum Chum, and Glitch Techs. It is not clear if this project is related to the long-rumored Stranger Things: Tokyo show concept. However, it is more than likely going to focus on a new group of characters, be it in Hawkins or elsewhere. Despite the lack of details, an animated project is something the Duffer Brothers have always wanted. “”We’ve always dreamed of an animated Stranger Things in the vein of the Saturday morning cartoons that we grew up loving,” the brothers told Variety.

An animated show is just the latest in a long line of spin-offs for the Netflix Stranger Things brand. The expanding world of Stranger Things also includes a rumored live-action spin-off, as well as a West End stage production. As for the Duffer Brothers themselves, they have been attached to several Netflix projects away from Stranger Things. The brothers will reportedly lead a live-action Death Note series, as well as an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Talisman. However, it’s safe to say that the Stranger Things brand isn’t going away anytime soon.

Lincoln has also kept a busy resume, recently starring in the Netflix anthology series “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.”

But it looks like both are making time in their schedules to return to the apocalyptic franchise, with their spinoff starting production this year.

50 Cent Confirms Three New Spinoff Shows From “Black Mafia Family”

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.

What do you think of 50 Cent’s announcement of three new spinoff shows from Black Mafia Family? Are you excited for new music from 50? Whatever the case, let us know what you think of BMF in the comments down below. Also, as always, check in with HNHH for the latest media news in the rap game.
