With his work in film production and his involvement with Cheetah Vision, Queens rapper 50 Cent now has 10 films and four television shows in the works. The G-Unit helmsman revealed the news during a recent interview with Atlanta-based radio station V-103.
Among the television shows 50 is set to release is one based off of a book he wrote about bullying. The animated show, which will take its cue from 50 Cent’s book “Playground,” was reportedly picked up by Fox.
“I’ve been working away from music,”
50 Cent said.
“Like I just was watching the cycle of how things work. So, I moved away from it because I didn’t feel like I could make music that would cut through at that point. So, I started focusing on film production. I did 10 films through Cheetah Vision. Like I raised 250 million. We broke it into 10 pictures. I sold the domestic rights to Lionsgate. Then we sold all the international territories. And then I started doing [a] little television production. So, I got four television shows…I also did with Fox—I created a book…’Playground,’ it was a bullying book. And I realized that the animated stars are bullies. Like Bart Simpson, Dennis The Menace, and those different things…I got the show picked up on Fox. So, I have an animated show coming there.”
