Inside 50 Cent’s Ambitious G-Unit Studios: A New Powerhouse in Shreveport
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the multifaceted rapper-turned-mogul, has long dominated the music industry, but his empire now extends firmly into film and television. In a bold move that solidifies his status as a media powerhouse, 50 Cent launched G-Unit Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, in April 2024. What was once the city-owned Millennium Studios has been transformed into a sprawling 985,000-square-foot production facility—the second-largest Black-owned film and television studio in the United States, trailing only Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.

50 Cent Gives Inside Look at G-Unit Films and Television Studio
The journey to G-Unit Studios began in late 2023 when Shreveport’s city council approved a remarkably favorable 30-year lease for Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television Inc. For just $2,400 annually—plus responsibility for maintenance and operations—50 Cent secured the massive warehouse-like complex. This deal, with an option to extend for another 15 years, underscores the city’s eagerness to revitalize its economy through entertainment. On April 18, 2024, dubbed “50 Cent Day” in Shreveport, the rapper was honored with a key to the city by Mayor Tom Arceneaux during a ceremonial launch at Government Plaza.

50 Cent Opens G-Unit Films and Television Studio in Louisiana
“Bringing G-Unit Studios to Shreveport is not just a business decision; it’s a commitment to fostering talent, creating opportunities, and building a community that thrives through creativity and innovation,” 50 Cent stated at the time. “We see Shreveport as a beacon of inspiration and creativity.” The mogul, whose G-Unit Film & Television has produced hits like the Power universe (including Power Book II: Ghost, Raising Kanan, and Force) and BMF on Starz, envisions the studio as a hub for scripted dramas, unscripted content, and more.
Inside the facility, renovations are underway to convert the vast industrial space into state-of-the-art production stages, soundstages, offices, and creative workspaces. In May 2024, 50 Cent gave fans a tantalizing “sneak peek” via social media, sharing concept renderings of the interior design. The aesthetic is sleek and modern: sharp black-and-white color schemes dominate, with polished hallways, expansive conference rooms featuring large tables and contemporary lighting, and open lobbies that exude professionalism and luxury.

One rendering depicts a bright, minimalist lobby with geometric patterns on the walls and comfortable seating areas, perfect for meetings with creators and executives. Another shows wide corridors lined with framed artwork or posters, leading to production offices equipped with high-end furnishings. Meeting rooms appear designed for collaboration, with long tables, ergonomic chairs, and accents that nod to G-Unit’s iconic branding—subtle yet bold.

The core of the studio remains its massive soundstages, inherited from the Millennium era but set for upgrades to accommodate large-scale film and TV shoots. With nearly a million square feet, there’s ample room for multiple simultaneous productions, post-production suites, and even potential expansions—50 Cent has hinted at acquiring additional properties in the area.
This venture comes amid 50 Cent’s broader entertainment pivot. After parting ways with Starz due to creative differences, he signed a non-exclusive deal with Fox and partnered with Lionsgate for a new FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) channel called 50 Cent Action. G-Unit Studios positions Shreveport as an alternative to Hollywood hubs like Los Angeles and Atlanta, leveraging Louisiana’s film incentives (though recent debates over tax credits have raised concerns for the industry’s future in the state).

The impact on Shreveport is already palpable. The lease includes commitments to local job training, internships for underemployed residents, and economic boosts through productions. High school marching bands performed at the launch, symbolizing community involvement. As 50 Cent posted, “All roads lead to Shreveport” for those ready to work in film and TV.
Comparisons to Tyler Perry are inevitable—both are Black entrepreneurs building independent empires outside traditional Hollywood gates. At 985,000 square feet, G-Unit Studios rivals major facilities and represents empowerment in an industry historically lacking diversity in ownership.
While full interior tours aren’t yet public as renovations continue into 2025, the shared concepts promise a space that’s as dynamic as 50 Cent’s career: gritty yet polished, street-smart yet sophisticated. Productions are expected to ramp up soon, with 50 teasing projects as early as mid-2024.

In an era where content is king, 50 Cent’s G-Unit Studios isn’t just a building—it’s a statement. From Queens streets to Shreveport soundstages, Jackson continues to prove he’s built for longevity, turning vision into a billion-dollar blueprint for the future of Black-owned media.
