It seems the often-contentious relationship between rapper and media mogul 50 Cent and the television network Starz might be reaching a new chapter. After Starz released a concerning financial report, 50 Cent took to social media with a post that seemed to signal the end of their collaboration, though he has since removed it.
Starz Faces Subscriber Drop and Financial Setbacks
The network recently reported a significant drop in its streaming subscriber base, falling to 12.2 million from 13.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Domestically, Starz saw its regular audience numbers decrease by 410,000, bringing the total to 17.6 million users. This downturn has led to scrutiny, with Starz CEO and President Jeffrey Hirsch citing the ‘underperformance’ of the latest season of ‘BMF’ as a key factor.
In response to this news, 50 Cent, known for his active and often provocative social media presence, posted a message that read, ‘It’s not that hard to say goodbye. Bye.’ This statement, widely interpreted as a jab at Starz, was quickly deleted, but not before making rounds online.
50 Cent’s Continued Ventures in Shreveport
Despite the apparent friction with Starz, 50 Cent remains actively involved in other business ventures. He recently purchased a film studio in Shreveport, Louisiana, and has promised to bring back his ‘Humor and Harmony’ festival to the city next year. Plans are also underway for a permanent G-Dome, a project that has been met with enthusiasm from city officials and residents.
The festival is confirmed to return in March 2026, and the G-Unit Film and Television Studio, established in a previously unused facility, is a significant investment in the city’s cultural and economic landscape. This demonstrates 50 Cent’s ongoing commitment to expanding his entertainment empire beyond his previous network collaborations.
