50 Cent Addresses "Cheap Deal "Backlash To His Shreveport Studio
50 Cent shouted Houston out for embracing him with open arms, but eventually chose to benefit from Louisiana's infrastructure. 50 Cent is one of the most prolific, accomplished, and versatile hip-hop moguls we have today. Sure, much of that infamy these days attributes itself to his scathing takedowns of another rap mogul, Diddy, but don't let that distract you from his film and television empire. Moreover, Fif recently caught flack from fans who accused him of opening a G-Unit production studio in Shreveport, Louisiana only for it being a "cheap deal." While speaking to KMJJ's Anthony "Big Ant" Simmons, he laughed off this idea and explained not only why he made the decision, but why the logic behind this argument is a deeply flawed one. No matter what side you stand on, it seems like G-Unit is staying in Louisiana. Nevertheless, they did consider Houston, as well.
