50 Cent Making Moves Beyond ‘Power’ and ‘BMF’ Worlds with New Hip-Hop Legal Drama
Regardless of how anyone feels about him, 50 Cent is a man of many talents. He’s a Grammy-winning rapper, a prolific businessman, and while not always popular or appreciated for it, he’s developed a talent as a world-class troller on social media (he’s recently shown that in his online battle with T.I. and the Harris Family, and the jab he took at Usher over the singer’s recently expressed support of Diddy).
All that being said, the “In da Club” rapper has also built a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. He arguably helped lift the Starz network to new heights, executive-producing Power and all of its subsequent spinoffs, BMF, and the wildly explosive Diddy documentary on Netflix, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Well, it looks like he’s adding another series to his producing resume, as he sets his eyes on a hip-hop legal drama.
Can 50 Cent’s New Legal Drama Rival the 'Power' Universe?
50 Cent recently took to Instagram and shared with his followers a concept clip of a show he is again executive-producing. The new drama series is a legal drama based on Atlanta-area criminal defense attorney, Drew Findling. Nicknamed the “Billion Dollar Lawyer,” the State Bar of Georgia reports that Findling has represented rappers Cardi B, Lil Baby, Offset, Quavo, Glorilla, Gucci Mane, Lil Durk, Lil Nas X, and Rod Wave, just to name a few. It’s his hip-hop clientele that appears to be the inspiration for 50 Cent’s new series.
Unfortunately, there’s not much else known about the drama. There’s no casting news, no premiere date, or even a verified network or streaming service where the show will air. However, it looks like the show may tentatively be called Billion Dollar Lawyer, and according to 50 Cent, there was a bidding war over it. Check out the post in question below.
With all that being said, it's definitely too early to determine whether or not the new show will be able to stand against all of the dramas in the Power universe. However, it should prove rather interesting to see a 50 Cent show where presumably hip-hop and not drug culture is at the center.
