When 50 Cent shared the lineup, his team unveiled a “three-phase” initiative that involved the artist and mogul investing directly into the people and the community. In fact, he already kicked off the first part of the process, which saw him revitalizing a number of properties in downtown Shreveport.
Gerod Durden, the real estate broker helping the G-Unit execute the revitalization process, revealed that the “In Da Club” hitmaker plans on buying and renovating about two dozen commercial properties.
“He is very passionate about the city,” Durden said. “I would say ten or more properties that we’ve already closed a few of this week. It’ll be an additional ten or so. These are all-cash offers. You know, there’s quite a few entertainment spots for not only adults and kids.
