50 Cent is delighted that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is joining him in investing heavily in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Meta head recently revealed plans to spent billions of dollars building a new A.I. facility in the city.

It’s a move welcomed by the rap legend who has also based his business in Shreveport.

In a since deleted Instagram post, 50 wrote: “I told yall all roads lead to Shreveport.”

50 Cent recently announced plans to build what is being termed the G-Dome in Shreveport, Louisiana.

50 has already set up his G-Unit Studios facility in the city and is planning to expand further, something supported by local government committees.

Part of the expansion plans is the G-Dome, which is inspired by the Las Vegas Sphere and will be a permanent arena in the city.

Further details about the potential facility have not yet been announced.

Plans for G-Unit Studios to be a tourist attraction are also underway though again, more specific details have yet to be revealed.

It was revealed earlier this year that the rapper and actor had been allowed to take over a space that he would convert into a sports and entertainment venue.

The rapper and businessman will take out a decades-long lease on the Stageworks building, with the plan to turn it into a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue.

The venue will undergo a partial renovation so that it can host basketball, volleyball, boxing and MMA events, as well as concerts, car shows and conventions.

50 has been granted a 30-year lease on the building which can be extended by another 15 years, with his G-Unit Films & Television company paying a rent of just $200 per month.

He will also be responsible for all maintenance and operational costs.

After he was granted the lease, 50 said at the meeting: “I just want to say, in the short period of time, I’ve come to like the people of Shreveport in a different way. It feels like home for me, and eventually it’ll be home because I have some work to do.

“I remember [Councilman] Alan [Jackson], the first time I spoke to him after Humor & Harmony, the first thing he said was, ‘Well, what’s next?’ And I was like, ‘I think I need to talk to tourism. I think I need to talk to all of these other people to build it out.’”

He added: “I’m excited about building those things and I want to say openly to [Councilman] Jim [Taliaferro] that — I haven’t had to talk to you directly — I promise you, I’ll over deliver with Shreveport.”
