Despite struggling with his music, as of late, 50 Cent has been doing extremely well with his new film ventures. Lately, he has not only been starring in new independent films, he is also producing them. After the failure of G-Unit Films, 50 Cent created a new company, Cheetah Productions, and they are behind a lot of new films. Two of the films are starring 50 Cent. He has moved into the film venture for a short period of time, before he decides where to move G-Unit Records.
While 50 Cent has a way to keep his name in the public eye, outside of music, Tony Yayo does not. Outside of 50 Cent, Yayo was the first artist signed to G-Unit Records. But, because of his time behind bars, he was rather quiet during their run on the top. He did not release his album until the crew was beginning to fall off. Because of that, he has been the least-successful rapper on the label and he did not receive proper treatment from Interscope Records.
Feeling mistreated by Interscope, Yayo would leave the label and the rest of G-Unit would not be too far behind him. Tony Yayo is very happy to be off of Interscope Records, but he would love to have a way to reach the public. Ever since 2003, he has been a fixture on the mixtape scene, but Yayo wants something that would expose him to the mainstream audience. He feels that the perfect way for this to happen is for him to star in one of the new 50 Cent films. As long as he has been in the game, he could always count on 50 Cent to look out for him. Because of this, Tony Yayo has reached out to his boss to see if he could land a role in some of his new films.
