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.”
He hit back with: “LOL. Yall better stop playing, Tyler will fuck yall up he ain’t no sucker. Don’t get it fucked up now !”
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.
“Sneak peek at the insides of G-Unit Studios, shh I’m working,” 50 captioned the images on Instagram. “All roads lead to Shreveport August 8th till the 11th hold the date TYCOON X 10 BOOM.”
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.
Oh no, Now 50 is going to start crossdressing. Tyler Perry is trying to turn it all straight black men into trannies. Surprised that Young Buck is trying to kick it with Tyler Perry because of that. Guess BET stands for Becoming Eventual Tranny… SMH. Been a lot of gay shit on that channel for decades now.
Fuckin crazy ppl of color doing positive things and a asshole like you wanna put them down go s**k a d**k you p***y
Because of negative people like you is why black people don’t get nowhere instead of looking at the positive are you looking at something called tranny I don’t give a damn if he’s tranny or not as long as he’s down for the black and the way you talk you are definitely not down for the black you might as well be running with Trump. It’s comments like that is why black people are the joke of the world because we have no unity and I know right now you don’t give a s*** about it by the way you talking so keep it up brother show the white people while we ain’t going to never stick together keep talking and make the white people proud
We don’t have many people of color doing what Tyler Perry is doing. We may not all like him but smart move by 50. Carry on!!!
Ha , negative . Tyler Perry is gay ;fact. Also a disingenuous person because he pays millions to cover it up. He’s and embarrassment to gay people and the people he panders to ,many of whom are in the faith community .
50 you made a big move bro. I respect that your using your money wisely and not like a fool. Sometimes you have to hear another person story to be inspired and what terry Perry did was great. I don’t know if he gay or not and that’s not my business but I will say this half of you on here hating probably watch the Oscars which they just started giving blacks actors Oscars. Terry gave some of the black actors there own studio and bought land where slaves was held wtf are YOU doing besides worrying about if he if sleeping with men are not.
