AceShowbiz - 50 Cent has just expanded his TV resume by getting the green light to develop new series "Black Mafia Family".
Network bosses at Starz, who oversaw the rap star's "Power" drama and its spin-offs, are raving about his new show, based on the real-life story of brothers Demetrius and Terry Flenory's rise as crime bosses and hip-hop moguls.
50, who will executive produce the new show, has reteamed with "Power" screenwriter Randy Huggins for the project.
"I told you Black Mafia Family was coming and it's going to be the biggest show on television," the rapper boasts. "Meech (Demetrius) and Terry are legends and I am excited to bring their story to Starz."
In the meanwhile, 50 Cent is completing work on Pop Smoke's debut album after the rapper was shot dead in February 2020.
