50 Cent has become a film mogul by telling other people’s stories, but now it’s time to tell his own. According to Variety and Deadline, the “definitive” 50 Cent documentary is coming to Hulu and will be a three-part series.
The doc is slated to take fans through 50’s humble beginnings growing up in Queens to achieving global rap stardom and evolving into a business mogul and Hollywood titan with his G-Unit Film & Television division.
A logline for the docuseries says 50’s story will be told “through an intimate and revealing lens. The series portrays a figure who has consistently transformed conflict and adversity into enduring cultural impact.”
While it currently remains without a title, Mandon Lovett is onboard to direct the series. Lovett previously directed The French Montana Story: For Khadija. Patrick Altem will executive produce the doc alongside 50.
50 still serves as an executive producer on his massive Power series on Starz and is set to star in the upcoming Street Fighter reboot in the role of Balrog, which saw him perform all of his own stunts. He is also promising to appear on the film’s soundtrack and has plans to bring Eminem with him.
“I’m gonna get @eminem on deck to make some music for this movie Street Fighter,” 50 wrote alongside a promo poster for the film in December. “New Music on the way!” Street Fighter is scheduled to hit theaters in the U.S. on Oct. 16.
50 Cent had a scorching run in 2000s as a central figure dominating hip-hop and remains a pop-culture fixture decades later. The Queens native boasts a pair of No. 1 albums atop the Billboard 200 and has four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (41 entries).
