50 Cent Set to ‘Work’ After Meeting with Louisiana Governor and Shreveport Mayor

50 Cent is making big moves in Louisiana and recently shared that he had a private meeting with Governor Jeff Landry and Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux. As he continues to grow his G-Unit Studios in Shreveport, the rapper and businessman is building strong relationships with local leaders.

On Wednesday, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) posted photos from the meeting on social media, saying, “Me, Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux, and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry had a great meeting today. Let’s work.”

The details of their conversation weren’t shared, but it came after Mayor Arceneaux spoke on KSLA This Morning about how upcoming tax reforms might affect Louisiana’s film tax credits. These credits are important for boosting the movie industry in the state, especially in Shreveport, where 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film and Television Studios are located.

“The most important one is the tax credits,” Arceneaux said of the state’s new tax reform. “Those are really important to the redevelopment of the movie and film industry in Louisiana, particularly in Shreveport.”

xzArceneaux added that he has been in talks with 50 Cent about how the tax changes could affect his plans. “He’s very concerned, and we’ve been discussing this since the announcement,” the mayor said. He also noted that tax credits weren’t the only reason 50 Cent chose Shreveport for his studio.

The mayor is hopeful that 50 Cent’s presence will have a big positive impact on the local economy, especially in entertainment. Since the launch of G-Unit Studios in April and 50 Cent’s Humor & Harmony Festival in August, the area has already seen a boost to local businesses.

50 Cent has also shared plans to make the festival an annual event to bring more attention to Shreveport and its opportunities.
