50 Cent has been trending on social media for some time after he went to visit Tyler Perry's studio in Atlanta. Also known as Curtis James Jackson III, the rapper took to his Instagram page to share details of the same on June 25, 2024. Curtis added a lineup of pictures in the social media post.
The first photo was a shot taken outside the studio. It had a welcome message for Curtis which read, "Tyler Perry Studios welcomes 50 Cent & G-Unit."
This was followed by a glimpse of the studio on the inside, and the last picture featured Curtis posing with Perry. The caption stated:
Trending
"I'm leaving no room for error Tyler showed me some sh*t today that inspired me. I need all my money you owe me, you better give me mine now!"
The post was shared a few days after rumors emerged that Curtis and Perry were rivals. While the former later denied the reports, netizens took to the comments section of his latest post to express their happiness on how Perry treated Curtis. One of them also wrote:
"Power ain't going no where but to 50's studio."
Similar reactions continued in the comments section, with most of them praising the unity between both personalities.
50 Cent has also been in the headlines after launching the G-Unit Studios at Shreveport on April 17, 2024. He expressed his happiness while speaking to Billboard at the time, saying that it was an expansion of the G-Unit Film & Television. He continued:
"Bringing G-Unit Studios to Shreveport is not just a business decision; it's a commitment to fostering talent, creating opportunities, and building a community that thrives through creativity and innovation."
50 Cent responds to the reports of his rivalry with Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry and 50 Cent's rivalry reports emerged from a news piece shared by The Root with the headline, "50 Cent Preparing to Be a Tyler Perry Rival?" Curtis later responded on Instagram by sharing a screenshot of the piece on June 18, 2024, and wrote that it is wrong for anyone to think that he and Perry would have problems with each other. He also stated:
"He's helping me, already going out of his way to aid my progress. So in the nicest way cut the sh*t!"
Notably, Curtis was compared to Perry on another occasion after the former announced the launch of the G-Unit Studios in Louisiana in April this year. It was supposed to feature all the projects that Curtis was officially involved with.
While social media was flooded with multiple reactions to the news, one user wrote that Curtis was trying to become the "Male Tyler Perry." The response was based on the fact that Perry also owns a studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Curtis replied to the same on Instagram where he posted a screenshot of the response and added a mark below the words "Male Tyler Perry." He wrote:
"Lol Yall better stop playing, Tyler will f*ck yall up he ain't no s*cker. Don't get it f*cked up now!"
50 Cent had once compared himself to Tyler Perry in 2016. He shared an Instagram post after the premiere of Power season 3 which received positive feedback at the time. The post, which has been deleted now, stated:
"Lol and you know I'm just getting started. You are gonna look up and say when the f*ck did 50 turn into Tyler Perry. LMAO."
50 Cent will next appear in the action crime drama, Den of Thieves: Pantera, which is arriving on the big screen on January 10, 2025. It also features O'Shea Jackson Jr., Michael Bisping, Salvatore Esposito, and many others portraying important roles.
