The rapper, now known as Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, expressed his gratitude and promised to give back to the community. The G-Unit Film & TV Studios, he said, will "expand film and television right here in Shreveport."
The studio's arrival couldn't have come at a better time for the city. It will attract talent, create jobs for locals, and boost economic growth. 50 Cent assured the crowd that positive changes will be evident within a short time frame, asserting that it "won't take ten years, maybe like three."
G-Unit Film & TV Studios has already gained recognition as the second-largest black-owned production company in the world. 50 Cent's business acumen has extended beyond this venture, as he's excelled in various entrepreneurial endeavors.
Despite his professional focus, 50 Cent couldn't resist a playful jab at P. Diddy on Instagram after the ceremony. He posted a photo with a sign that read "Ratchet City but no Diddy!"
Music remains an active pursuit for 50 Cent. He recently collaborated with Dr. Dre on new music, showcasing his versatility and unwavering commitment to the entertainment industry. Shreveport residents eagerly anticipate his upcoming releases, celebrating the convergence of music and community transformation.
