As he\u2019s known to be the king of trolling, we all took this as 50 being 50, except he was the one laughing\u2026 all the way to the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/04\/50-cent-documentary-series-hulu-1236783563\/\">Per Deadline<\/a>, it\u2019s now official that Hulu has greenlit an untitled three-part documentary series on 50 Cent, and this time, the narrative is about him instead of someone else. The series will cover the full arc of his life from growing up in South Jamaica, Queens, surviving nine gunshot wounds in 2000, releasing <em>Get Rich or Die Tryin&#8217;<\/em> in 2003, and turning all of it into one of the most successful business runs hip hop has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essence.com\/celebrity\/inside-50-cent-business-empire\/\">Fif has spent the better part of a decade<\/a> producing other people&#8217;s projects through G-Unit Film &amp; Television, but fans watched <em>Power<\/em> and <em>Raising Kanan<\/em> for years without realizing how much of it pulled from his real life, and now we&#8217;ll get to learn his full story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/50-cent-docuseries-hulu-1236710584\/\">will be directed by<\/a> Mandon Lovett, who previously directed <em>The French Montana Story: For Khadija<\/em> and <em>Boys in Blue.<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/50-cent-docuseries-hulu-1236710584\/\"> <\/a>Patrick Altema comes on as showrunner, with Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman executive producing alongside 50 Cent through G-Unit Film &amp; Television and IPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the <em>Power<\/em> franchise on Starz, <em>Sean Combs: The Reckoning<\/em> hitting number one on Netflix, and more than 30 million records sold, 50 Cent has spent years proving he belongs on both sides of the camera. After all of that, a bidding war for his own story was really just a matter of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No premiere date has been set. Knowing 50 Cent, he&#8217;ll make sure you hear about it when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"template":"","article_category":[1627,2501,1557],"article_author":[576],"article_tags":[],"class_list":["post-1586915","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry","article_category-celebrity","article_category-money-career","article_category-news","article_author-kimberly-wilson","entry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268.jpg",1024,683,false],"landscape_large":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-1920x1080.jpg",1920,1080,true],"portrait_large":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-800x1200.jpg",600,900,true],"square_large":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268.jpg",1024,683,false],"4_3_large":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-1200x900.jpg",1200,900,true],"landscape":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-1920x1080.jpg",1280,720,true],"portrait":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-800x1200.jpg",600,900,true],"square":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268.jpg",860,574,false],"4_3":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268-1200x900.jpg",1200,900,true],"16x9_xs":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268.jpg",1024,683,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/media.essence.com\/vxcjywbwpa\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2178444268.jpg",150,100,false]},"article_excerpt_essence":"<p>Hulu\u2019s
