“’50 Central’ is a platform that allows us to get all those hidden talents out in the open,” 50 Cent said. “Expect the unexpected. It’s me having freedom. It’s a different type of comedy. It’s different. It’s a little more edgier than things you would have seen in the past. BET, at night, they’re gonna let me do what I gotta do.”
