50 Cent to Tell His Life Story in New Docuseries
A new documentary series chronicling the life and career of 50 Cent is headed to Hulu, marking a notable collaboration between the rapper-turned-producer and the streaming giant.
Announced on Tuesday (April 7) by Deadline, the untitled, three-part series will be directed by Mandon Lovett and produced by The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC)—known for projects like Rap Caviar Presents—alongside Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television banner. Patrick Altema is set to serve as showrunner, with executive producers including Altema, Jackson, Lovett, and IPC’s Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman.
The partnership underscores Hulu’s continued investment in music-driven storytelling and Jackson’s expanding presence in premium television.

Fif first teased the announcement on April 1, sharing a social media post claiming that the deal with the streaming platform is worth $75 million. “HULU wins in a bidding war against STARZ, NETFLIX, and APPLE for my new doc,” the rapper wrote in a post on Twitter, along with a supposed TMZ graphic deeming the partnership as “the biggest doc deal in years.”
However, no such story was reported by TMZ or any other outlet at the time, leading many to believe the post was an April Fools joke, given the timing of the announcement. Hulu has yet to respond to requests for comment.
The forthcoming series adds to Jackson’s growing résumé in Hollywood, where he has successfully transitioned from music into film and television.

Best known for executive producing the hit series Power and its expanding universe, he continues to develop new scripted and unscripted projects, some of which were spoken about in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.
“There’s the Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, they’ll see an extension of that Peacock.,” he said at the time, also teasing his forthcoming sports drama Fightland, as well as The Accomplice, his first show based in the U.K. “I’ve got The Accomplice with Taraji P. Henson as the leader of the show,” he added, before predicting that his appearance in the upcoming Street Fighter film is slated to arrive later this year.
