50 Cent’s hustle never stops, and he’s taking over screens and cities alike. His latest wins? A booming Roku channel and a massive new venture in Shreveport, Louisiana. Here’s how the rap mogul’s building his legacy, one bold move at a time.
50 Cent Action Channel: Roku’s Top Player
On April 2, 50 Cent hit Instagram with big news: his 50 Cent Action Channel on Roku is crushing it, ranking in the top 5% of over 500 channels. Launched in December as one of the first celebrity-branded FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television) channels, it’s a curated stash of action flicks and shows from Lionsgate’s library. You’ll find over a dozen films starring 50 himself, plus his STARZ juggernaut Power. “I got more coming for you today, bringing this channel everywhere—stay tuned!” he teased. It’s not just a channel—it’s a power move, blending his Hollywood clout with streaming savvy.
Shreveport: The Next Big Stage
Meanwhile, 50’s planting roots in Shreveport, Louisiana, turning it into his personal empire hub. Last month, the Shreveport City Council green-lit his latest project: a decades-long lease on the Stageworks building. His G-Unit Films & Television crew will transform it into a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment spot. Think basketball, volleyball, boxing, MMA fights, concerts, car shows, and conventions—all under one roof after a partial renovation.
The deal’s a steal: a 30-year lease (with an option for 15 more) at just $200 a month. 50’s footing the bill for maintenance and operations, showing he’s all in. At the council meeting, he got real: “I’ve come to like the people of Shreveport in a different way. It feels like home, and eventually it’ll be home because I have some work to do.” He’s already got G-Unit Studios in the city, a massive film and TV space, and now this. After his Humor & Harmony event packed the place, he told Councilman Jim Taliaferro, “I promise you, I’ll overdeliver with Shreveport. I have plans to keep it buzzing all year.”
From Rap to Ruler
50’s not just rapping anymore—he’s rewriting the game. His Roku channel’s top-tier status proves he’s got the Midas touch in entertainment, while Shreveport’s about to become his playground. With the 50 Cent Action Channel expanding and a new venue set to draw crowds, he’s blending action-packed streaming with real-world impact. Shreveport’s betting on him, and if his track record’s any clue, it’s a safe bet.
