50 Cent wasted no time in trolling BMF star Lil Meech after the Starz series was canceled following four seasons.
50 fired away on Instagram on Wednesday (Oct. 29) after news of the show produced by his G-Unit Film & TV division was canned. He posted a series of Photoshopped pictures featuring Lil Meech holding signs saying he was “out of work” and panhandling for money on the street corner.

“What next season little [ninja emoji],” he wrote. BMF star Kris Lofton chimed into 50’s comment section. “Sheesh,” he added.
Rapper Flawless joked: “2 things I don’t play with…the IRS and 50 cent!”
In true 50 Cent fashion, he made sure to clarify that he had no involvement in the show’s cancellation. “I am deeply concerned by the widespread assumption that I had any involvement in the recent cancellation of BMF,” he wrote. “I intend to thoroughly investigate this matter to understand exactly how and why it occurred Thank you.”
He also took issue with TMZ and other headlines referring to him as a troll. “The fact that TMZ is calling me a troll is very troubling to me,” he jokingly added in a since-deleted post to IG. “I have worked tirelessly to build my brand and I’m now being reduced to nothing more than a troll.”
50’s relationship with Lil Meech and his father, Big Meech, has soured since the launch of the Starz series chronicling the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family in 2021. Before the launch, 50 even paid for Lil Meech to get acting lessons so he could properly portray his father in the series, who was incarcerated at the time.
While BMF is done, other Starz-50 Cent projects are in the works. Fans can expect Power spinoffs Raising Kanan and Force to return for a final season later this year. There’s also a Power: Origins prequel series in production.
