50 Cent has found a somewhat unexpected mentor in Tyler Perry after the actor and director invited him to his studio in Atlanta.
50 shared pictures of his visit to Perry’s studio complex on Instagram on Tuesday (June 25) where he was greeted by a sign that read: “Tyler Perry Studios welcomes 50 Cent & G-Unit.”

The media moguls also posed for a photo together.
In his caption, 50 reflected on the trip and credited Perry with sharing advice that left him feeling “inspired.”
“I’m leaving no room for error Tyler showed me some shit today that inspired me,” he wrote. “I need all my money if you owe me, you better give me mine now!”
50 Cent previously defended Tyler Perry after he was negatively compared to the filmmaker after setting up his own studio complex in Shreveport, Louisana.
In April, Fif took issue with a social media post that said: “Dude lowkey becoming the male Tyler Perry it’s crazy to see.”

50 recently gave fans a first glimpse at his sprawling G-Unit Film and TV Studios, sharing various artist impressions of the space which he is hoping to turn into a powerhouse of film and TV production.
The state-of-the-art studio features a prominent black-and-white marble theme along with G-Unit branding throughout.
It also boasts boardrooms, offices, editing suites and a hair and makeup room featuring around a dozen chairs with their own illuminated mirror.

The Queens, New York native was also recently honored with his own day in Shreveport and presented with a ceremonial key to the city after boosting the local economy and community with his studios.
