Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, the mastermind behind the hit series Power Universe, has been hard at work on his latest venture - a brand new production studio called G-Unit Studios. Located in Shreveport, Louisiana, this state-of-the-art facility promises to be a game-changer in the world of television. And on May 30, the rapper-turned-producer gave his fans an exciting sneak peek at the studio through his Instagram account.
In his post, 50 Cent teased the grand opening of G-Unit Studios in August, and offered a glimpse at the impressive interior of the studio. With a photo captioned "Shh I'm working", he left his followers eagerly anticipating what's to come. He also revealed that all roads lead to Shreveport from August 8th to 11th, hinting at a major event to mark the studio's launch. It's a date that fans won't want to miss!
But this isn't the first time 50 Cent has made headlines in Shreveport. In fact, the city declared April 18 as "Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson Day" in recognition of his contributions to the entertainment industry. And to celebrate this honor, the Get Rich Or Die Tryin' artist appeared in the city alongside Mayor Tom Arceneaux and City Council members for the official opening of G-Unit Film & Television Studio. As a token of appreciation, he was even presented with a key to the city.
According to Fox 8 Live, 50 Cent secured a lease for the city-owned studio - formerly known as Millennium Studios - for an annual cost of $2,400. And after the city council unanimously approved the lease, the G-Unit boss also agreed to take care of the building maintenance. The studio now has a 30-year lease with an option to renew for another 15 years, solidifying its presence in Shreveport for years to come.
In an exclusive statement to Billboard, 50 Cent explained the motivation behind bringing G-Unit Studios to Shreveport. He said, "G-Unit has always been more than just entertainment; it's a platform for voices that need to be heard, stories that need to be told. By setting up shop in Shreveport, we're not just making a business decision - we're making a commitment to nurturing talent, creating opportunities, and building a community that thrives on creativity and innovation. Shreveport has always been a source of inspiration and we're excited to be a part of its vibrant arts scene."
It's clear that 50 Cent sees Shreveport as not just a location for his new studio, but a hub for creativity and talent. And with his track record for success, there's no doubt that G-Unit Studios will be a major player in the world of film and television for years to come. As the saying goes, "Shreveport - where dreams are made."
