The news was first reported by TMZ.
The series, which will feature six to eight hour-long episodes, will premiere in early 2020 and also feature episodes on Snoop Dogg, who underwent a murder trial at the peak of his fame in the 1990s; producer Scott Storch, who made millions as a hit producer for 50, Beyonce, Fat Joe, Christina Aguilera and others and lost it all in a spiral of drug abuse; and 50 himself, who tangled with former music executive Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond in 2007 that resulted in the murder of 50 associate Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher, and for which Rosemond is serving two life sentences (for ordering Fletcher’s death and his role in a drug-trafficking operation).
An episode on former NBA player Rafer Alston, who was charged with assault and public intoxication after a pair of public incidents, is also in the works.
