The Queens legend is known for not holding his tongue, and obviously, nothing changed. 50 cents newest target is tv network Starz.
50 Cent VS. STARZ
50 Cent has succeeded not only in music but television as well. In addition to his hit tv series Power, BMF and For Life have received critical and commercial acclaim. With several shows currently in development, you’d think 50 would have a good relationship with Starz. The million-dollar media company has been the network behind 50’s portfolio since Power premiered in 2014. But recently he’s been airing out grievances online.
According to the ‘21 Questions’ rapper, following the final four episodes of Power Book IV: Force none of his shows will air for six months.
This past weekend (Mar. 19) 50 reposted a fan-made TikTok and explained his frustration in the caption.
“I have 4 more episodes of FORCE, then I don’t have anything airing on STARZ for six months so y’all know the vibes,” he typed.
He continued, “FORCE is the highest rated premier of any show on the network. when they take too long to green light it, it pushes the production time line back. after tonight’s episode there are 3 left, April 10 it’s a wrap. Then 6 months till i have anything new.”
Trouble in paradise
Apparently, 50 and Starz are going through a particularly bad spell. Earlier this month (Mar. 1) 50 claimed he was finished with the network altogether.
“This is me packing my stuff, STARZ, Sucks, my deal is up over here I’m out.” He announced at the time. “They Renewed High town and FORCE is the highest rated show they have sitting in limbo. If I told you how much dumb sh*t I deal with over here. you would think they all went to school on a small yellow bus.”
It can’t be denied the 46-year-old has brought a ton of attention to Starz with his impressive lineup. Hopefully, everything can be straightened out so we can continue to get good content. One thing for certain, this NY icon isn’t afraid to demand his respect.
