50 Cent has been pumping out television series like crazy over the last several years. Despite COVID complications, the NY rapper has appear frequently on high rated shows, such as Power. Somehow, he also found the time to create shows of his own, most notably BMF. In an interview with TV Line released yesterday, Big Sean revealed that he was almost cast in one of 50 Cent’s shows. Currently, Big Sean is preparing for the premier of the season finale of Twenties.
TV Line Interviews Big Sean
Although Big Sean has dabble in television, Twenties is a marked step in his career. It is the first live-action fictional role he has ever had.
In response, TV Line interviewed Big Sean to ask him about his plans for the future. Evidently, he has no intentions of quitting showbiz any time soon. The rapper, or rather actor seems enthralled by the process.
“It’s a different experience, for sure. A lot of doing it over and over again and hoping that they use the right take. There’s a lot of things you’re thinking about like, ‘Dang, I really like how I did it this way, and they might not use it because it [doesn’t] fit the director’s vision.’ It’s a different game than music, but a lot of similarities, since you have to focus and apply yourself, and the product turns out the way it does.”
The interview took an emotional turn and began to discuss Big Sean’s inspirations and goals. The actor expresses sadness at the loss of visionaries within the black community and wants to make the most of his time.
“We’ve been losing a lot of close people. We’ve been losing a lot of visionaries, a lot of peers, a lot of artists. You really realize how valuable your time is, so I’ve been like, ‘Man, I have to do all these things I’ve always wanted to do.’ I want to write a book. I want to musically explore other things. I want to take it to different levels. I want to write movies. Time is so not guaranteed. You just have to do it.”
A Powerful Pairing
This is the first we at FMHipHop have heard about a possible collaboration between Fiddy and Big Sean on the big screen. And can I say, man do we really want that now! The artists have done tremendous work individually; it would be inspiring to see what they could create when they collaborate.

It doesn’t appear that the role fell through due to incompatibility between the two stars. Rather, both have so much on hands that it just wasn’t possible to find a common timeframe.
“I was actually supposed to do something with 50 [Cent], but it didn’t line up schedule-wise,” [Big Sean] shares. “But those are great people. [BMF] is one of my favorites right now. I love the Power universe — Raising Kanan and all of that. It’s fire.”
Hopefully, we can take this as a teaser for something to come in the future!
