On Tuesday, rapper and television producer Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, announced via his Twitter that he’s traded his hometown of New York City for Houston, Texas. The 45-year-old entrepreneur also revealed that he’s working on a new anthology series called Confessions of A Crime Queen that will likely be filmed during his time in Houston.
“I love NY,” he wrote on Twitter. “But I live in Houston now. I’ll explain later.”
50 Cent uploaded a picture of himself outside of the city’s popular sports stadium, the Astrodome, and also gave fans a few details about his new true crime show. The new series was created with Lionsgate Television and has been greenlit by Discovery+, a streaming app for shows on the Discovery Channel.

Described as “first-of-its-kind,” Confessions of A Crime Queen “will focus on the true story of one larger-than-life woman who created and led a multi-million-dollar criminal empire before a dramatic fall from power. The subject will be portrayed by an A-list actress who will also interview the real-life female crime lord at the center of the story,” according to Deadline.
