50 Cent has dismissed rumors of a business rivalry with filmmaker Tyler Perry following his announcement of launching G-Unit Film Studio in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The post prompted people to compare the hip-hop mogul’s new production studio to Perry, who owns a 330-acre studio located in Atlanta, Georgia. On Instagram, 50 Cent shared a screenshot of an article from The Root titled “50 Cent Preparing to Be a Tyler Perry Rival?” As Newsweek reports, he captioned the post: “Yes [three clap emojis] I’m doing great but you’re getting it f***** up, if you think me and Tyler will be at odds at any point. He’s helping me, already going out of his way to aid my progress. So in the nicest way [face with raised eyebrow emoji] cut the s***!”
