50 Cent, like many other hip hop moguls, has been focusing more on business ventures than music. Last year, 50 announced a fifth studio album in the works. In the year since he announced the new album, one single has come.

The most profitable of 50 Cent's businesses, currently, is his Cheetah Vision Films company. 50 Cent has produced and starred in several hit films. Through the company, 50 Cent signed a 10-film, $200 million deal with Lionsgate Entertainment.

His latest film, Fire with Fire, co-starring Bruce Willis, is the one of these ten films. The movie is about a firefighter who is in the witness protection program. When the fireman is threatened by the man he plans to testify against, he takes matters into his own hands to save the love of his life. The film will be directed by popular producer, David Barrett.

50 Cent is also working on Setup and Freelancers, with Robert DeNiro, under this same deal.

In 2008, 50 Cent proved his Hollywood star power when he starred alongside Robert DeNiro in the film, Righteous Kill. 50 Cent starring with DeNiro shocked fans who though he was washed up. Together, they shocked fans when they appeared on the VIBE cover together.

Three years have passed since Righteous Kill and the two stars have gone their separate ways. 50 Cent has been working on several new projects over the past few years. The rapper has his own film company, which has been putting together several films. 50 is currently marketing his Things Fall Apart film.

Jessy Terrero is one of the most-respected filmmakers in the hip hop industry. He was the mastermind by the cult classic, Soul Plane. Before venturing into full-length films, Terrerro produced several of the most-memorable music videos. This includes 50 Cent's 2003 hit with G-Unit, "Stunt 101." Following the success of the video, Terrerro produced several other films for G-Unit, forging a friendship with 50 Cent. Over the years, Jessy Terrero has continued to expand and he is currently working on his Freelancers film and has put together an all-star cast.

Terrero was able to reunite 50 Cent and Robert DeNiro for his upcoming cop drama.

When the big film companies stopped casting 50 Cent for their movies, he made a power move. The muscular rapper launched his own film company and started working on several projects. Most of the movies from Cheetah Vision Films will be starring 50 Cent.

For the past four years, 50 Cent's career has been on a steady decline and some of his supporters have alienated him. But, one person who has stuck with him as been Jessy Terrero. Terrero directed many of the early music videos from 50 Cent.

But, as 50 Cent's career quickly took off, he began working with bigger names, such as Hype Williams and Benny Boom. Soon, 50 was being cast in the big budget films. Now, things have gone full circle in 50 Cent's career.
