50 Cent has made it clear: he’s officially done with Starz. The G-Unit mogul, who brought Starz massive success with his hit series Power and its spinoffs, recently criticized the network for maintaining a project involving Diddy.
Sharing a 2022 Deadline article about a Starz collaboration with Diddy and Fat Joe, 50 Cent voiced his disapproval over the network’s decision to keep the show alive, particularly in light of recent allegations against Diddy. “This is a sh*t head move for Starz,” 50 Cent wrote on social media. “I have no idea why they wouldn’t clean this up but I’m not selling any new series to this network.”
50’s frustration isn’t new—he ended his deal with Starz in 2023, previously citing disappointment in how the network promoted his shows. Now, 50’s decision to distance himself from Starz seems final, as he expressed frustration over their Diddy connection. He even tagged Cognac and Fat Joe, hinting at lingering resentment. “This is why I said I’ll wait to do the show,” he added, underscoring his decision to cut ties on principle.
Despite the fallout, 50 Cent’s TV and film production ventures are far from over. He recently signed a deal with Lionsgate to launch 50 Cent Action, a channel featuring a blend of Lionsgate content and the entire Power library. Additionally, 50 launched G-Unit Studios to further expand his production footprint, ensuring his presence in television and film continues strong.
With this bold stance, 50 Cent shows he’s committed to aligning with networks and brands that support his vision. His Starz exit signifies a new era for the mogul, and fans are eager to see what’s next.
