50 Cent Taunts Hurricane Chris Over G-Unit Studio Plans
50 Cent reignited his feud with Hurricane Chris after posting a flashy “G-Unit Studios” image celebrating his growing Shreveport empire.
50 Cent stirred the pot again Wednesday night (November 12) by posting an image of a sleek glass high-rise labeled “G-Unit Film & Television Studios,” while reigniting tensions with Hurricane Chris over their ongoing Shreveport beef.
“Oh No Christopher is not gonna like this one bit! LOL 😆 SHREVEPORT going up!” the Hip-Hop mogul wrote on Instagram, taking a not-so-subtle swipe at the Louisiana rapper who previously slammed him for exploiting the city.

The post, which showed a glass tower branded with the G-Unit name, raised eyebrows—especially since 50 Cent is known for sharing AI-generated visuals.
It’s also unclear if the building exists, as his actual studio headquarters is located at Shreveport’s historic Stageworks facility.

Hurricane Chris Slams 50 Cent Over Humor & Harmony Festival Performers
Back in August last year, Hurricane Chris called out 50 Cent for hosting the Humor & Harmony festival in Shreveport without including prominent Louisiana artists. He accused the Queens rapper of profiting off the region while ignoring its cultural roots and community needs.
“You threw a m############ concert in Louisiana and didn’t book no Louisiana legends and put no bankroll in any Louisiana legends’ pockets, but you paid the police half a million dollars,” Chris said in a video that quickly went viral. “What type of b####-ass s### is that?”
50 Cent clapped back by mocking Chris’s career and reminding him that Louisiana artists like Master P and Fredo Bang were on the lineup.
He even poked fun at Chris’s 2007 hit, “A Bay Bay,” using it as ammo in their digital back-and-forth.
Despite the drama, 50 Cent has made major moves in Shreveport. In 2024, he secured a 30-year lease at the Stageworks facility for just $200 a month plus maintenance, transforming the nearly 1 million-square-foot space into a production hub for film, television, sports and live events.
The city has embraced the venture. Mayor Tom Arceneaux gave 50 Cent a key to the city and declared an official “50 Cent Day” to celebrate the studio’s launch.
The project is expected to bring jobs, encourage local development and attract outside productions to the area.
50 Cent has said the studio is part of a broader push for Black-owned media spaces, joining the likes of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.
Planned content includes new G-Unit shows, films and possibly a “Paid in Full” series, though no production dates have been announced yet.
