AceShowbiz - 50 Cent is not happy with the report about Lionsgate's alleged plan to sell Starz. In response to the report, the rapper/actor took to his Instagram account to reveal his intention to buy the network.
He shared a screencap of an article which headlines read, "Lions Gate stock jumps as company to explore spinoff or sale of Starz." In the caption, the "In Da Club" rapper wrote, "WTF is this, No Raising Kanan, No BMF, what do you think made their stock jump."
Referring to his series "Power" and "BMF", Fiddy went on to write, "I gave them two hits back to back Smh these people be crazy, smart as hell but no common sense." He added, "I'm gonna look into buying the STARZ network."
In a separate post, 50 Cent revealed that "BMF" would not be airing this week. "I'm out till next week Saturday 12AM , because the s**t people are gonna say when they find out BMF is not coming on this week. it's a good time to catch up."
He's not stopping there as he shared in another post, "Starz is a s**it show, they better sell it fast. They put the f**king BMF show on, then took it down. what network does that? They just ruined the anticipation of The episode i directed, I WORKED HARD ON THIS. I can't work with these people anymore."
"Episode 7 of BMF is the best work i have done directing to date. I'm disappointed that STARZ handled this so poorly. I used my personal relationships to make things happen they couldn’t have made happen. @eminem thank you for doing this for me. I love you bro, you know i'm rolling wit you till the wheels fall off," Fofty added in a new post.
His angry rant on social media apparently prompted Starz to contact Fiddy. "They called and told me they wanted to hold episode 7 back a week so We can roll right into GHOST Nov 21. I said cool i like that idea. Then these s**t head people put the f**king episode out for 3 hours then take it down," the rapper explained. "This is not ok, when I get uncomfortable i make everybody uncomfortable now who getting fired? until you figure that out don't call my phone respectfully."
