50 Cent Finds New Mentor in Tyler Perry After Inspirational Studio Visit
Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent has found an unexpected mentor in actor and director Tyler Perry following an enlightening visit to Perry’s studio in Atlanta.
50 Cent recently shared pictures of his visit to the renowned Tyler Perry Studios on Instagram, where he was welcomed by a personalized sign reading: “Tyler Perry Studios welcomes 50 Cent & G-Unit.” The two media moguls also posed for a photo together, marking the beginning of a promising mentorship.
Reflecting on the visit, 50 Cent credited Perry for providing inspirational advice that has invigorated his ambitions. “I’m leaving no room for error. Tyler showed me some stuff today that inspired me,” he wrote in the caption. “I need all my money if you owe me, you better give me mine now!”
This newfound mentorship comes after 50 Cent defended Perry earlier this year when he was compared to the filmmaker following the establishment of his own studio complex in Shreveport, Louisiana. In April, 50 Cent responded to a social media post that likened him to Perry, stating: “LOL. Y’all better stop playing, Tyler will mess y’all up, he ain’t no sucker. Don’t get it twisted now!”
50 Cent recently gave fans a glimpse into his ambitious G-Unit Film and TV Studios. Sharing artist impressions of the facility, he showcased the state-of-the-art design featuring a prominent black-and-white marble theme and extensive G-Unit branding. The studio boasts boardrooms, offices, editing suites, and a hair and makeup room with numerous illuminated mirrors.
“Sneak peek at the insides of G-Unit Studios, shh I’m working,” he captioned the images on Instagram. “All roads lead to Shreveport August 8th till the 11th, hold the date TYCOON X 10 BOOM.”
The rapper, originally from Queens, New York, was recently honored with his own day in Shreveport and presented with a ceremonial key to the city in recognition of his contributions to the local economy and community through his studio ventures.
