50 Cent has revealed that his lucrative deal with STARZ finally expires this weekend and it doesn’t seem like he has any plans to renew his contract.
The Queens, New York legend took to Instagram on Friday (September 16) bragging about the 25 TV shows he’s created, and he looks intent on taking his talents elsewhere outside of the STARZ empire he’s built.
“Shout out to BET, I won Hustler of the year,” he said while counting stacks of cash. “No one from music culture has had success in Television production. I have 25 shows now and I’ve made some big deals away from TV. I’m out of my deal at STARZ tomorrow.”
50’s caption seemingly leaked the winner of the Hustler of the Year award at the upcoming 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards. The Power mogul is nominated in the category along with Cardi B, DJ Khaled, Drake, JAY-Z, Kanye West and Megan The Stallion.
It’s unclear whether 50 was tipped off about his victory or he’s simply confident in his chances.
Meanwhile, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper looks set to expand his business portfolio further. According to trademark attorney Josh Gerben, 50 has filed a series of trademarks through his NYC Vibe, LLC for the rights to “Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson.”
His plans are to produce TV shows, movies and documentaries while also launching an online casino and opening restaurants.
50 Cent’s Power universe is still cooking on STARZ with Power Book III: Raising Kanan in the midst of season two. BMF also announced that their season two will premiere in January 2023.
50 has a history of having his friend’s backs in life. Eminem recently recalled 50 covering for him during a 2006 interview on BET’s 106 & Park due to his drug use.

“I remember things started getting really, really bad when me, 50 and G-Unit did BET’s 106 & Park,” Em wrote in an XXL cover story. “We performed ‘You Don’t Know’ on the show and then we did an interview afterward. That’s when the wheels started coming off.
“One of the hosts was talking to me and I could not understand a word she was saying. 50 had to cover for me and answer every question.”
Yeah but how many of the 25 shows are actually good? They all cover the same theme of drugs and gangster shit and not much else. So yes you won hustler of the year I guess. That isn’t something to be proud of!
He had the ‘For Life’ show a short while back though. I think he started out with what he knows, then is slowly branching out into family friendly territory as he learns the ropes.
25 shows is a lot he got mo shit goin on than dick wolf

If you think real life is pretty and pre-packaged then get your head out the sand. If you think putting these deals together is child’s play then why not try it for yourself. Bottomline if you don’t have something positive to contribute don’t waste your written comment.
