Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is not happy with Starz.
The prolific producer is threatening to walk away from his deal with the Lionsgate-backed premium cable network, for whom he exec produces the Power franchise and multiple other projects.
The rapper, actor and producer posted multiple images of bags being packed on his verified Instagram account, where he voiced frustration with the renewal for Starz’s Hightown but lack of decision on Power spinoff, Force.
“This is me packing my stuff, Starz. Sucks, my deal is up over here I’m out. They renewed Hightown and Force is the highest rated show they have sitting in limbo. If I told you how much dumb shit I deal with over here,” he wrote. Subsequent posts include images of bags being packed as Jackson posted he wants to “take that fvcking sign off the door no more G-unit film and television over here.”
