Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson Was Once Nicknamed Boo Boo
The rap star revealed his unfortunate old nickname while going a few rounds with Jimmy Fallon on his new TV series, and philanthropic ventures.
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, the hip-hop star, shared a funny story about his past during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The rapper, who is also known as Fifty, revealed that he was once nicknamed "Boo Boo." However, he noted that the nickname never really caught on.
Jackson, who recently returned from filming a new Starz drama called Fightland in the United Kingdom, explained that he used his influence to get people to work on the production. The drama, which explores professional boxing and London's criminal underbelly, stars Howard Charles as a former heavyweight champion seeking revenge after serving time in prison.
"Fightland" is Jackson's first U.K.-based production through his film and television company, G-Unit Film & Television. The series has been in development since 2022 and premiered on July 31. Jackson is also an executive producer of the Power franchise, BMF, and the unscripted show The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast.
In addition to his acting and producing work, Jackson is also a philanthropist and entrepreneur. He recently opened the Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson Community Garden in Queens, a green space inspired by Bette Midler's New York Restoration Project and his G-Unity Foundation. The garden serves as an outdoor learning space in his neighborhood.
