*Last week, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson introduced his G-Unit Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, signaling his commitment to further developing his film and TV ventures.
“As someone who has always believed in the transformative power of music, film, and television, I’m beyond excited to introduce the expansion of my G-Unit Film & Television through the launch of G-Unit Studios right here in Shreveport,” Jackson told Billboard.
“We are thrilled that G-Unit Studios will plant its roots in Shreveport,” Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux told Billboard. “This city’s rich culture and talent provide the perfect backdrop for this endeavor. We are eager to collaborate with Mr. Jackson and G-Unit Film & Television to bring captivating movies and entertainment to Shreveport and Caddo Parish.”

Jackson noted that setting up his 956,000 square feet studio in Shreveport “is not just a business decision; it’s a commitment to fostering talent, creating opportunities, and building a community that thrives through creativity and innovation. We see Shreveport as a beacon of inspiration and creativity.”
Meanwhile, 50’s new studio understandably prompted comparisons to Tyler Perry’s 330-acre studio compound in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Dude lowkey becoming the Male Tyler Perry it’s crazy to see,” wrote a user on X.
Fifty responded, “LOL Yall better stop playing, Tyler will f*** yall up he ain’t no sucker. Don’t get it f***ed up now !”
