50 Cent is continuing to expand his empire. The media mogul just signed a deal to come on as an executive producer of the upcoming Payday TV series, which adapts the popular first person shooter games.
In a statement shared to Complex, 50 Cent’s team expressed gratitude over getting to bring the vision to life.
“G-Unit Film & TV has built cinematic crime stories that connect with audiences around the world,” the statement read. “Teaming up with Vice Studios and bringing the world of Payday to the screen gives us the chance to build something big, a high-energy franchise that pushes the heist genre forward.”
The TV adaptation is still without a home, but with Fif on board, there’s a high chance either Hulu or Starz could pick up the property.
The project will also be produced by Vice Studios and Starbreeze Entertainment.
50 Cent announced the news on his Instagram.
“I’m leaving no room for errors, When ever they go against me, you should run to poly market and bet on 50. PAYDAY is gonna be BIG I’m working. GLG. GreenLightGang.”
The 50 Cent Documentary
This will just be another notch 50 Cent’s belt, as he also gears up for his own personal documentary on Hulu.
The three-part series will reportedly detail 50 Cent’s life and how he went from best-selling rapper to multimedia mogul. Mandon Lovett (Origins Of Hip Hop, For Khadija: The French Montana Story) is set to direct.
Originally teasing it on April Fool’s Day, which left fans questioning its legitimacy, 50 Cent took to Instagram for a more formal announcement.
“Positive vibes,” 50 Cent posted. Focus on the win QGTM.”
Fif has also been busy trolling Rick Ross, claiming he doesn’t own his $100M house.
“HAHAHA This fool at a open house talking about 100 million dollar house, his house is available on air B&B WTF everything FAKE, the f**k outta here,” 50 Cent posted.
