50 Cent has expanded his media presence significantly in the last two decades. While he may not be dominating the music charts anymore, his production companies have achieved great success. Recently, he sold a documentary about Diddy to Netflix. Additionally, he is launching G-Unit film and TV studios, aiming to become the world’s second-largest black-owned studio. Despite comparisons to Tyler Perry, 50 Cent clarified his intentions.
The Root’s headline “50 Cent Gearing Up To Be A Tyler Perry Rival?” was met with a direct response from 50 Cent on Instagram. In his caption, he stated, “I’m doing great but you’re getting it f*cked up,” and clarified that he and Tyler Perry are not rivals but actually working together. He mentioned that Tyler Perry is supporting him in launching his studio and urged for the speculation to stop.
50 Cent has a history of not shying away from conflicts. Even before his rise to fame, he was known for engaging in beef. His early hit song was about targeting wealthier rappers. This background makes his recent statement about collaboration with Tyler Perry quite convincing. People familiar with 50 Cent’s career trajectory would understand his partnership with Perry. The rapper acknowledged Perry’s assistance during a recent Power screening in New York.
50 Cent mentioned how Tyler Perry has been a valuable resource for both him and G-Unit Films. He shared, “So I talked to Tyler on my way here. Tyler is no joke. He’ll f*ck you up if you think he Madea.” Despite his tough reputation, 50 Cent spoke humbly about Perry, saying, “He don’t talk to me like that. I don’t know if he’s tougher when I’m he’s talking to me, but it just feels like I can learn some things from him.”
