50 Cent has given fans an inside look at his swanky new G-Unit Film and TV Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The Power mogul took to Instagram on Thursday (May 30) to share artist’s impression photos of his new production hub, which he’s been touting as the next powerhouse in the industry.

“Sneak peek at the insides of G-Unit Studios, shh I’m working,” 50 wrote in the caption. “All roads lead to Shreveport August 8th till the 11th hold the date TYCOON X 10 BOOM.”
His slick new workspace stunned even Hollywood veteran Ludacris, who left fire and smoke emojis in the comments section.
Fellow G-Unit solder also reacted with several fire emojis, while actor Larenz Tate wrote: “Get em !!!! [face with steam emoji, four fire emojis].”
It was last year that city council members in Shreveport introduced legislation allowing 50 Cent to lease Millennium Movie Studio as a base for his film and television company.
“For a period after 2005, we enjoyed a very robust television and film industry in the Shreveport area,” Mayor Tom Arceneaux said. “This will bring back, I think, a lot of those people and will rejuvenate that industry in our area. So I think the film industry is about to blossom again in Shreveport.

“[50 Cent]’s undertaking all of the maintenance and repair, which is around 160 to 170 thousand dollars a year. So to look at just the lease payment is not fair to him. We also anticipate he’s going to make several million dollars of improvements to the facility. This is a very serious proposal, a very serious undertaking by him.”
As a result of his entrepreneurial spirit, 50 was honored with his own day in the Louisiana city after opening the studio.
The Queens, New York native was also presented with a ceremonial key to the city by Mayor Arceneaux during a ceremony last month.
At the event, which took place in front of fans, 50 said: “Ladies, gentlemen, Mayor Tom Arceneaux and the wonderful people of Shreveport, it is an honor for me to stand before you here today.

“As someone who’s always believed in the transformative power of music, film and television, I’m really excited to show you the expansion of film and television through G-Unit Studios right here in Shreveport.”
He also praised the mayor on Instagram, writing: “Mayor Tom Arceneaux really cares about people, I talked to him today I was really impressed with his energy. I usually be like wait a minute, when politicians are involved but I think he is a whole good guy. WTF.”
