In a dramatic turn of events in the ongoing feud between hip-hop moguls 50 Cent and Rick Ross, 50 Cent has publicly asserted his ownership of the rights to the ‘BMF’ (Black Mafia Family) franchise. This response came shortly after Rick Ross announced his plans to create a film centered around the BMF story, which has been the subject of a popular series on Starz.
50 Cent, known for his sharp business acumen and strategic moves, took to Instagram to clarify the situation. He stated that any attempt by Ross to produce a BMF film would be “impossible” due to 50 Cent’s exclusive control over the television and film rights related to the BMF narrative. In his post, he referenced a TMZ article that outlined his ownership, indicating that Ross might need to reconsider his plans to bring a BMF film to theaters.
The feud between the two has been reignited by their recent exchanges online. Ross had criticized the quality of the BMF series, suggesting that it was a “lackluster small budget series,” and expressed interest in producing a big-budget film instead. In response, 50 Cent didn’t hold back, implying that Ross’s ambitions would face significant hurdles given his contractual claims.
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that 50 Cent is indeed the sole owner of the BMF story rights, leaving Rick Ross in a precarious position. As the founder of the G-Unit Film Division, 50 Cent is already progressing with plans for a documentary about Tammy Cohen, a significant figure in the BMF narrative and a former partner of BMF leader Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory. The documentary aims to expand the BMF franchise further, suggesting that 50 Cent has no intention of relinquishing his control over the brand.
The rivalry between the two artists has been characterized by back-and-forth exchanges on social media, with both taking shots at each other’s credibility and business practices. 50 Cent’s latest comments seem to signal a willingness to escalate the conflict, as he has shared personal messages with ‘Little Meech,’ the star of the BMF series, while dismissing any thoughts of a new season for the show.
As the drama unfolds, fans and industry insiders alike are left wondering how this feud will impact the future of the BMF franchise. With 50 Cent firmly in control of the storyline and actively working on new projects, it appears that Rick Ross’s aspirations may be stymied unless a resolution can be reached.
In the midst of this turmoil, 50 Cent continues to assert his dominance in the entertainment landscape, reminding his rivals that in the world of hip-hop and film, perception of power is often as crucial as the legalities that define it. As both artists navigate this complex situation, the entertainment world watches closely to see what comes next in this high-stakes rivalry.
