Some years back, American rapper sought to produce a movie titled ‘Things Fall Apart’.
Author of the classical novel with the same title, Chinua Achebe, kicked against this by evoking copyright protection.
50 Cent made some financial offer for the right but Achebe rejected it.
Now, he has sighted an opportunity to exploit the tale of another Nigerian ‘celebrity’ as he has hinted about producing a series on convicted Nigerian internet fraudster, Hushpuppi.
50 made this known via his Instagram page where he informed movie lovers about his yearning to put out a project centered on scammers.

Sharing a photo of Hushpuppi, the “Many Men” rap star wrote: “For my scammers I gotta do this one, Hushpuppi series coming soon!”
On November 7, 2022, a United States District Court for the Central District of California finally sentenced Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abass Olorunwa, popularly known as Hushpuppi, to 11 years and three months in federal prison for conspiring to launder tens of millions of dollars from online scams.
