The Eminem protege has achieved great television success with the Starz network; however, he has reportedly been unhappy working with the television network and declared he would be parting ways.
Last week, he took to his Twitter account to let the world know that from now on, he was severing all ties and wouldn’t be doing anything related to his G-Unit company with Starz, especially after generating the top four television shows in Black and Latino households. He also stated he wished he had this success at a different network.
“I have the number 1,2,3, and 4 top Tv shows in African American and Latina households, and I hate that I did them with the wrong people. I’m not doing any BMF spin-offs or selling any other shows to STARZ. GLGGreenLightGang #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi“
According to XXL, 50 started building his ongoing business partnership with Starz when he debuted the original series, Power, on the network on June 7, 2014. The show ended on Feb. 9, 2020. He launched three spin-off series from there: Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. While doing so, he started the biographical drama series based on Black Mafia Family, BMF.
