The hip-hop legend is ready to share his real story. 50 Cent, the Grammy-winning rapper and business mogul, will release a new documentary series on Hulu. This three-part project marks a major shift for the artist, who has spent years producing documentaries about other famous figures.
The untitled docuseries will cover 50 Cent’s complete journey. It starts from his early days in Queens, New York, and follows his rise to becoming one of the most successful names in music and business. The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, first teased the project on social media. He mentioned a $75 million deal with Hulu on April 1, which many thought was a joke. But sources confirm the streaming service has officially given the green light to produce the series.
What The Documentary Will Cover About 50 Cent’s Life
The series promises to show the full picture of 50 Cent’s life. Viewers will see his time growing up in the streets of Queens, surviving being shot nine times, and selling over 30 million records worldwide. The documentary will also focus on how he changed from a street kid to a Grammy winner with hits like “In da Club” and “Candy Shop.”
The official description says the series will look at 50 Cent’s story “through an intimate and revealing lens.” It describes him as someone who “has consistently transformed conflict and adversity into enduring cultural impact.” The documentary will not just cover his music career. It will also show how he became a major player in television and film through his company, G-Unit Film & Television.
