If Get Rich or Die Trying was not enough of a biopic of rapper and mogul 50 Cent's (Curtis Jackson) life for you, then his next surprise will have you tuned every week to the FOX network. According to Deadline, 50 Cent, also known for Starz' Power, has made the major move in teaming up with producer Will Packer to produce the sitcom My Friend 50 – a single camera series project.

Deadline reports, "My Friend 50, which has a script order, follows Amanda Kramer, an unstable twenty-something who believes that joining 50 Cent's entourage is the answer to all her problems. Her unlikely journey with 50 Cent's crew takes the form of a bizarre documentary commissioned by the most unreliable narrator in history: Amanda."

The publication further informs us that the project will be executive produced by the duo under Packer's company, Will Packer Productions, 50 Cent's company, G-Unit Film & Television, and Universal Television. Head of Television for Will Packer Productions, Korin D. Huggins, will also be another co-executive producer.

Moreover, My Friend 50 is not attached to the deal the rapper recently signed with Starz, the home network where he executive produces and co-stars on the Saturday night hit series, Power. Last season, Power broke the record for most watched original series in the Starz network history.

Rollingout reports, 50 Cent is also the executive producer of Sundance TV's Dream School and made appearances in the films Southpaw and Spy.

Now, shile Will Packer isn't as big a name as 50 Cent is to us outside of show business, he recently has been making a splash in the production world. Deadline tells us that Packer is the executive producer of NBC's Truth Be Told and ABC's upcoming Uncle Buck.  

In the feature film world, he has produced seven number one films, "including Ride Along, Think Like A Man and its sequel, and executive produced Straight Outta Compton," per the publication.

Ride Along 2, will release to theaters Jan. 15, 2016.

Packer's TV development resume includes a Think Like a Man comedy series adaptation, The Diplomats at FOX, Bonita & Mechelle with Eva Longoria and Buckhead at NBC.

With both 50 Cent and Packer's credits, My Friend 50 is set to be a hit.

Now you know I ain't bullshitting, I got WILL( Green Lit ) Packer on the Team. We walk in pitch, then walk out with bag full of money LMAO #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO A photo posted by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Dec 1, 2015 at 4:19pm PST
