50 Cent is reviving the Isaac Wright Jr's story for his new show.

50 Cent accumulated several hats in the last decade. Precisely, he went from a successful rap artist to an executive producer and co-creator to one of our favorite television series, Power. Moreover, we have certainly noticed that the jack-of-all-trades enjoys roasting people and engaging in petty behaviors from time to time, as seen with the chronicled back and forth with Love & Hip Hop star Teairra Marie. However, we would be foolish to ignore 50 does not toy around when it comes to making big, business moves. As such, the actor and producer teased the formulation of a previously discussed TV pilot in collaboration with ABC via his Instagram.

50 Cent shared a post, confirming he will be working on bringing the story of former inmate Isaac Wright Jr to screens. 

The ex-con was wrongfully incarcerated as a drug kingpin to one of the largest distribution networks in New Jersey. In the remarkable case, the same man managed to overturn his own conviction by thoroughly studying the law while behind bars. Wright also wrote proxies, briefs, and motions which overturned the convictions of 20 other inmates in similar circumstances. Today, Isaac Wright Jr. works as a practicing lawyer within the same courts who previously incarcerated him.  

Ferrari F-50 put dibs on quite the story and we cannot wait to see what he's going to do with it. He chimes in with a caption, true to his personality: "ABC show based on Isaac Wright jr has tested higher than any other show Sony has produced period. Boom. I’m kinda, a big deal." The post finishes with a shout out to the rapper's champagne brand (in true hustler spirits) called Le Chemin Du Roi.
