The ‘P.I.M.P’ rapper took to his Instagram and shared with his 35 million followers a screenshot of these reports, seemingly confirming the suggestion.
He captioned the post: “No Days off, Let’s work all roads lead to Shreveport 💣Boom💨”
This would be a big move for the rapper’s acting career, with the movie sure to be a hit in box offices.
50 has already starred in some pretty iconic films and TV shows, including Power, Escape Plan, and of course, the story of his own, like Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
He is one of the many rappers who have turned into actors, and has clearly been doing a good job, his most recent project featuring Hollywood legend, Mel Gibson.
The star has also tried his hand at producing as well, truly establishing his role as a multi-talented force, most recently launching his own live TV channel in partnership with Lionsgate, ’50 Cent Action’.
The character, Balrog, the rapper, seems to be a perfect fit for him, Balrog sharing a lot of the same characteristics and features as the ‘In Da Club’ rapper.
One fan commented: “Lmaoo this is actually a really good casting. Never would’ve thought.”
The movie is set to be released on March 20th, 2026.
