50 Cent is a machine. An unruly figure from the gutter of Southside Jamaica, Queens. A man who has been shot to oblivion. A rapper that has taken life experiences and cultivated a following who love his sounds. A man with a business acumen that trumps most people that have been to college and have their doctorate’s. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is the American dream that came through the entertainment industry like a speeding bullet from hell.
Fif now has he eyes set on a variety series that features sketch comedy, stand-up, music, reality experiments, dance and celebrity guest appearances. The multi-faceted man is now bringing to life his show “50 Cent Presents” and it’s set to be developed for the A&E network. The show is expected to be In Living Color, but taken a step further. If you’ve grew upin the era of In Living Color then you know the boundaries the show pushed, both comedic-wise and cultural.
“I grew up watching variety shows and am excited to put my own spin on the format,” said Jackson. “I hope everyone is ready to bring their talent forward; I want to show the world the best of the best.”
Clearly, 50 has a knack for curated great content, just look at Power, and he looks to further capitalize of that success.
“Leaning into A&E’s legacy in showcasing the arts, we’re setting out to redefine the traditional variety show,” said Frontain Bryant. “50 Cent is the perfect partner to refresh this classic format. He is a true tastemaker across industries and we are excited to see his impressive showcase of talent.”
