Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is known for his entertainment and business career that launched due to his success in hip-hop music with a unique sound and story.
He rose to fame with his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, on which he teamed up with producer Dr. Dre. He released five solo albums after that and formed the supergroup G-Unit which released three albums together.
The hip-hop star also has ventured his career into television and movies, with roles in films such as Spy, Southpaw, and Den of Thieves. However, he found success with scripted TV.
Among his most notable TV credits is the popular Starz series Power, which he starred in for multiple seasons and was also an executive producer.
The show spawned several spinoffs he produced, including Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force.
Following that success with scripted TV shows, the 47-year-old hip-hop artist, actor, and TV producer is reportedly in early development on an unscripted tattoo transformation series coming to Hulu.
