50 Cent has responded to his son Sire’s request for him to return to music after meeting Travis Scott. Sire, 50’s 11-year-old son, was backstage at Scott’s tour stop at the Prudential Centre in New Jersey on Tuesday (December 26) and seems to have come home eager for his dad to create more music.
The G-Unit founder shared on Instagram: “SIRE came back and said I need to make a new song and do it 10 times like Travis. I said you need to brush your teeth and get in bed; it’s bedtime. LOL.”
In an earlier post, 50 captured a shot of Sire hаnging out with the Utopia star and wrote: “Sire and Travis rocking out, Christmas vibes, he said the sh!t was littt [fire emoji].”
Over the last decade, 50 Cent has been more focused on the world of film and television. He hasn’t released an album since Animal Ambition in 2014, although several singles have followed, including the double-platinum collaboration with Chris Brown, “I’m the Man,” and appearances on Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 and Nas’ and Һit-Boy’s Magic 2.
Earlier this year, 50 reignited excitement for new music by revealing he’s working on a new album with longtime friend and collaborator Dr. Dre.
“I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoken to Dre, and that Dre is in there, and he got some crаzy stuff for me to go hear,” he told Big Boy’s Neighborhood.
“This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”
Despite venturing into film and TV production in recent years, including the popular Power franchise, 50 recently took out a long-term lease on his own movie studio in Louisiana. The lease will cost 50 Cent $2,400 annually for 30 years, after which he can renew it for 15 more if he pleases.
He also announced moving his production deal from STARZ to Fox, stating, “I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted, and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions.”
Despite leaving STARZ, 50 has upcoming projects with the cable network, including the boxing drаmа Fightland and African warrior Queen series Queen Nzinga. Earlier this year, 50 appeared in The Expendables 4, which also featured his classic Һit “P.I.M.P.”
