Good on him. Also, I can't wait to see the G-Dome in person.

quote:

It’s a go. Shreveport is officially teaming up with rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson to redevelop downtown.


quote:

Council member James Green understands the public's caution but stress the rewards outweigh the risk. 50 Cent is reportedly investing $50 million of his own money.

"Eighty percent of something is better than 100 percent of nothing," Green said.


quote:

Part of the new entertainment district includes Millennium Studios, where flooding issues must be addressed. But work is already underway at Shreveport’s Stage Works Studio to start production.

I just realized that 50 probably doesn’t realize that Gravy lives in BR.

Gravy is the obvious choice for the person that should run 50s operations.

That’s the shining light that 50 needs in his life

Probably future freeway development. Isn’t Arkansas working on I-49? South, Southeast and part of East Texas are gonna have easier routes to north Louisiana with the future I-14 corridor. Invest now!

I saw a video on YouTube the other day that said 50 cent accepted bitcoin for an album he released independently in like 2014 and people were pumped to use bitcoin so it was popular. Anyways, supposedly he just never even thought about it and now he’s got a huge stack.

Also, he absolutely made a fortune with vitamin water back in the day. He’s a shrewd fellow.
