‘I’m Working Over Here at a Different Pace’: 50 Cent Seemingly Takes a Shot at Starz After Announcing New Series with BET and A&E

Over the past two years, 50 Cent has gone back and forth about his television deal with Starz. Just weeks ago, the rapper and entertainment mogul revealed his departure from the home network of his beloved “Power” series and new fan favorite, “BMF.” And now, he’s preparing to ready brand-new shows at separate networks.

On Monday, Oct. 10, 50 shared news about his latest series, “Property Players,” on Instagram. The show is in partnership with DJ Envy, real estate tycoons Cesar “Flipping NJ” Pina, Jenni Tips, and their team.

“Yeah Man we got another one. PROPERTY PLAYERS series has landed at A&E after a biding war,” Fif wrote on Instagram. “You won’t want to miss.@aishastaggersjennitips. GreenLightGang. I don’t miss.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the real estate series is produced by his G-Unit Film & TV company, Lionsgate TV, and Fly on the Wall Entertainment. A&E holds worldwide distribution rights to the series.

DJ Envy is a music producer, real estate investor, and co-host of “The Breakfast Club” radio show. Since 2018, he’s worked alongside Pina investing in properties, flipping homes, and advising others in the community how to do the same. 

Pina’s knowledge came from studying the stock market while serving time in federal prison for credit card fraud and dealing drugs, as reported by the outlet. The New Jersey native owned properties all over the world and shared his success story in his best-selling book, “Flipping Keys.”

Between Envy, Pina, and other influential individuals, “Property Players” could be 50’s next No. 1 show. “I’m working over here at a different pace,” wrote the 47-year-old in another post.

The “I Get Money” artist is also celebrating the announcement of another new series at BET+. “Trill League” is a forthcoming and animated superhero show written by Anthony Piper and Leann Bowen, reports Deadline.

It chronicles the story of a group of “Black superheroes battling against each other’s self-indulgences in order to combat the villains of today’s cultural conflicts and protect society.”

“I told you I’m not playing another one. I got Leann Bowen who brought you Ted Lasso & Anthony Piper’s,” 50 continued in a third Instagram post. “‘Trill League’ is a direct hit I’m not f—— around. BOOM GlG. GreenLightGang.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
