The recent announcement that Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson would be developing a single camera comedy called My Friend 50 for FOX was surprising for a few reasons. FOX has been breaking ratings records this year with a hip-hop drama, Empire, but one of the show's most public detractors has been 50 Cent, who sees it as a competitor to Power, the somewhat similarly themed drama he produces for the Starz network. Perhaps 50 Cent has taken an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude towards FOX, or perhaps FOX is just happy to be in the business of scripted television about rap with anyone now that it's so profitable.
