50 Cent Inks Broadcast Deal With Fox Television

[World B Free]

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has found a new TV partner for his G-Unit Film & Television company.

The rapper and producer has signed a non-exclusive, broadcast direct deal with Fox. As part of the deal, Jackson and G-Unit will develop scripted series, both live-action and animated, for the network. The broadcaster will own any series greenlit under the deal, and its in-house Fox Entertainment Studios will produce along with G-Unit Film & Television.

The Fox deal comes a few months after Jackson exited an overall deal at Starz, which he had criticized for “dumb shit” in the time leading up to the end of the deal. (He remains an executive producer of te premium cabler’s Power franchise and BMF.) Since the Fox pact is non-exclusive, he’s also free to shop his producing services elsewhere.


“I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions,” Jackson said in a statement.

Added Thorn, Fox’s entertainment president, “Whether it’s music, film or television, Curtis always delivers premium entertainment that captivates millions of fans across the globe. He is the rare multi-hyphenate with a deft hand at storytelling, no matter the format or medium, and we’re looking forward to developing new and exciting series for Fox with him and his team.”

In addition to Jackson, Fox has signed broadcast direct deals with Rodney Rothman (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), former CSI showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and Dan Harmon, among others.

Jackson’s producing credits also include ABC’s For Life, WE TV’s Hip Hop Homicides and the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show, for which he shared in an Emmy win for best variety special. He is repped by APA, AKR PR and attorney Stephen Savva.

How long before he becomes the new Kanye?

 

[donwuan]

Sounds like Starz dropped him and Fox is giving him a chance but it's non exclusive meaning they ain't guarantee shit. What kind of live-action and animated shit is 50 gonna create? Just like Fox to fill our kids minds with some bullshit.

Yeah rupert murdoch (FOX)to pick up a black show, it got to be a detriment to the community/culture.

 

[D24OHA]

Partnering with evil ass Faux.....?!

Damn it man.....

Problem is Fif wants to be the hood male Shonda Rhimes(sp?) And the notariety and $$ that comes with it.....and Starz was like "Nah B".....

Fox is dangling that carrot and depending on how those numbers look they'll keep teasing him along.....FOH

All the sponsorship $$ from this show is gonna help pay for that nonsense over at their "News" division.....fuck that.

 

[knightmelodic]

rupert murdoch and his sons have made billions by selling the worst stereotypes and hate. Check and see how they got us citizenship. No matter the show, if it's fox it's part of the russian-republican propaganda network.

Supreme should have sent...well, I ain't gonna name names.

 

[The Jamaican]

SMH. First some doubted he could ever achieve the success he has in Film. Now the nigga made it to FOX and niggas is like, yeah well, he still ain't shit.

He's going on with what put him on and, just like everyone else, will grow and evolve.

 

[swoop1]

Not really a 50 fan. But like it’s been said. If the broadcast deal is about putting out more movies about black drug dealers and thugs, who gives a fuck.

Damn it ain't that serious man, wishing death

 

[34real]

I'm a fan of 50 and cheering him on cause do you know how many rappers have came and went since he first jumped on the scene and now all were able to stay out there and transition into something else.....

Even Jarule is still doing his thing......

 

[TIMEISMONEY]

Congrats to the big dog

 

[jawnswoop]

I don't get why he ain't partner with a black owned production company like zeus or ALLBLK!

This some coon shit to partner with racist ass FOX!

 

[Mixd]

Props, just wish whatever he did stay on cable. Hope it's not watered down regular network stuff. But I'm sure it's about that "commercials" money.

I don't get why he ain't partner with a black owned production company like zeus or ALLBLK!

Cause he used to making money?
You think Zeus and AllBlk is anywhere near the same kind of bread as Starz?

They hate seeing niggas do well with a passion

50 came into the game and knocked down ALL doors

Video games
Movies
Shoes
Clothes

 

[blackbull1970]

I support the Brotha for what he has accomplished in Hollyweird.

But we don’t need more “Daddy In Jail, Momma on Crack” content.

Let’s get some Black Sci-Fi, Action Adventure, Thriller’s, Horror’s, Mystery and Fantasy content already.

I really wish I could be as congratulatory as you guys, but 50's deal is with a man responsible for so much fuckery against people that look like Fif and me......I could never stand next to that man...

"All money ain't good money."

The rest was unnecessary fam

You forgot liquors/ champagne
And porn.....

Doing well isn't the problem in this case ( not for me at least), it's the business partner that's the issue.

You gotta understand, 50 cent a street nigga, he don't know nothing else to think outside the box to be creative being versatile in other genres creating shows.

Every movie and tv show was nothing but a person being in jail, shot or selling drugs along with killing.

 

[jawnswoop]

I ain't wanna say it, but damn man I feel you

Most niggas on here want to cap about being cool with 50 cent joining a racist production company because they feel if they feel don't congratulate him that they're letting him down.

I mean ain't nobody hating on 50 cent success but dude could've went somewhere else besides fox.

 

[Da Backshot Champ]

So I don't get it, is Power going to be on Starz/MGM or not?

 

[World B Free]

I mean ain't nobody hating on 50 cent success but dude could've went somewhere else besides fox.

The dude sold crack, he never cared about his customers; Fox is just another customer to him.

 

[jawnswoop]

Yeah. I'm not surprised. I know 50 cent history very well.

He was always on some coon shit.

A lot of shit 50 cent had back then, I never brought.

I'm seriously asking, what's racist about Fox beyond their news broadcast?

Fox is owned by Disney, for years now.
Their news crap is one thing. But as far as the rest of programming, I don't know, I don't watch Fox or most of the other major broadcast networks.

Don't they do sports and cartoons like Simpsons and Family Guy? What else on there is racist, other than their news stuff?

You pretty much answered your owned question.

Instead of being on coon shit, I think he's just about the green, that's all. He's a businessman whose start-up company was being a rapper who sold millions.

You can grow up in the Ghetto and not make content focused on the Ghetto.

50Cent has been out of that environment now for 20+ years.

He has been living and eating the good life for some time.

He should have no issue producing non-Ghetto content.

I agree, but its been years of him producing something that ain't no ghetto shit.

Sometimes you can take a person out the hood but not hood out of them.

Well like you said before he never cared about his customers, it was all about what he could do for himself.
