50 Cent has been named executive producer on the upcoming Starz television series “Power,” reports Variety.
The drama centers on a “Gotham nightclub owner who skirts the line between legitimacy and criminality.” Fif will co-executive produce the series with 300‘s Mark Canton and End of Watch‘s Randall Emmett. They have all previously worked together on Freelancers and 2013’s The Tomb. Additionally, Courtney Kemp Agboh scribe (The Good Wife) will pen the script.
The G-Unit rapper-turned-actor will also soon star in the film The Frozen Ground as a 1980s-era pimp.
(November 30, 2012)
UPDATE: The HollywoodReporter has stated that Starz ordered its first episodes to be produced of “Power.” The news broke late last week. The series is expected to air on the premium cable network beginning in 2014.
50 Cent reacted in a press statement. “This is a passion project for me, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found a home with Starz. I look forward to working with this incredibly talented team on making ‘Power’ a hit show.”
Starz CEO Chris Albrecht added, “[50 Cent] has a unique and specific vision for the series, lending it an authenticity and voice rarely seen.”

DAMN FIF
50 keeps busy..if he ain with music he with water or a movie or clothing or a show or helping yayo or banks or beefing..he never rests..he keeps active..he ain gotta rap n u mentioning him..he drops a single its number one..haha thas ma nigga
“he drops a single its number one”
For a whopping one day. Stop drooling.
quote man ^^^
so it was number one…hmmmm WASNT IT NUMBER ONE..its still number one on hiphop charts..number 2 on itunes..The fact is he returned n drop a bomb..even on this post u niggas gon hate man stw
“quote man”
No, man.
Hes going to start beefing with Starz mark my words.
no, he’s smarter than that. He keeps his beef clear of his other ventures. No one outside of hip hop knows that he is beefing….and no one outside of the hip hop community (mainly corporate america) even knows the name of the people he is beefing with.
Especially when the powers that be at Starz realize that an Executive Producer doesn’t really do much but finalize the budget. All it is a quick money grab for Curtis.
50 knows exactly what hes doing when he calls someone out…its chess not checkers
“its still number one on hiphop charts”
But according to one of the musical experts on here the hip hop charts don’t count.
They dont, alot of times the #1 song in the Itunes hip hop charts be the #30 song overall, lol. 50’s song is actually #2 on the overall charts tho
loL at Quote-Man.
Of course the Billboard hip hop charts count or else they wouldn’t bother tracking them. Just about anyone can be #1 on Itunes, but Billboard numbers are like the final word.
You Fucking Hater!
agreed
fif is the hardest working hustler in hip hop. always has 5 or 6 things going on at once. got street king immortal album, street king energy shot, sms audio, the movies, this tv show, boxing promoter.. not too mention little bits of light work like his new book formula 50 and his website thisis50.com.. the ultimate hustler

SNITCH BITCH
who he snitch on again? ill wait
nothing yet? b/c I’m still waiting
Starz has been picking up shows like no tommorrow. Ever since Spartacus ended, Starz has been trying to find a show that lure audience to their channel. Hopefully this will bring me back because Da Vinci is not cutting it. Magic City is okay but it’s very slow.
As for 50, good work. You got a network that will let you have freedom to do what you want on-screen. Hope it works out. Dont drop another album.

Gay ass 50. Needs to retire…. Dude is wack ass gimmick
hater alert hater alert
i bet your favorite rapper is more of a gimmick
what gimmick? he was a successful street hustler in the grimy 90s in queens, got shot the fuck up and is now worth 9 figures from talking about what he actually went through…
He’s directed videos, movies..acted in them , wrote them..I’d rather watch “Power” then 99.9 % of the crap on TV… I will at least wait to see until I judge…unlike some of u crab a** m’fu**ers…

ja rule killed this lil niggaz career #GAMEOVER
this nigga making a tv show for starz, a cartoon for fox, selling headphones, writing books, acting in movies, feeding the children in africa, selling energy shots, promoting boxing fights and stealing junkie rappers chains!!!!
meanwhile ja spent the last 3 years getting ass fucked in prison, what a career that was
fuck this snitch ass nigga !!!
snitching is giving up information when you get caught to get a lesser sentence or get let off
so who did he snitch on again? who is in jail because of something 50 said or did? maybe they in jail because they were criminals and got caught
