50 Cent does not stop working. The 49-year-old entrepreneur recently teased having a role in the upcoming Street Fighter movie.
Nexus Point News reported that the G-Unit leader was in talks of taking on the role of Balrog, a disgraced boxer who first appeared in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Fif saw the report and took to Instagram with a screenshot of the article. “No Days off,” he wrote. “Let’s work all roads lead to Shreveport *bomb emoji* Boom *smoke emoji*.”
Legendary Entertainment hasn’t confirmed his involvement yet, but the movie’s reboot has been circulating for some time now. Reports claim that Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and WWE superstar Roman Reigns will all have roles in the film, slated to release in 2026.
The “In Da Club” rapper is no stranger to the big screen. During his prime music years, he starred in Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, a film adaptation of his come-up story that is documented in his debut LP of the same name. He has also appeared in The Expendables 4, Boneyard, Righteous Kill, Escape, and Southpaw.
He has also had a huge year, expanding his TV channel 50 Cent Action to the United Kingdom. “You know, everybody loves London. If you’re from New York, or you’re a recording artist from America in general, the first stop and your first dose of international love is London,” he told Deadline.
“My audience, my core audience – the people that were enjoying my music in the very beginning – is at home. They’re older. They’ll understand the entertainment choices that I make creatively. I’ve used music to merge with entertainment. Being able to launch out here [in the UK] is big because I have a huge audience here that hasn’t been able to participate with us. Now they get a chance to see it.”
