\n\tFifty, Fiddy. Boo Boo. All these have been, at some point, nicknames for Curtis Jackson.<\/p>\n

\n\tFortunately, Boo Boo never quite took off, the hip-hop star told Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night (Aug. 11) when he stopped by NBC\u2018s The Tonight Show.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tJackson, or Fifty as he\u2019s happy to be called, revealed his unfortunate old nickname while going a few rounds on his new TV series, and philanthropic ventures. The Queens rapper\u00a0has just returned from the United Kingdom, where Starz\u2018s new drama\u00a0Fightland<\/em> was filmed. <\/p>\n

\n\tA drama that enters the ring of professional boxing and London\u2019s criminal underbelly, Fightland<\/em> is Jackson\u2019s first U.K.-based production through G-Unit Film & Television.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was able to get some guys to work on it. I was using my juice card<\/em>, know what I mean, calling up people,\u201d he tells Fallon. The\u00a0series\u00a0has been in development since 2022, premiered July 31, and stars Howard Charles as a former heavyweight champion who, after a lengthy stint behind bars, returns to prize fighting with revenge on his mind.<\/p>\n

\n\tDamione Macedon and Raphael Jackson Jr. (Power, Genius: MLK\/X<\/em>) are showrunners, writers and executive producers, while Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith\u00a0serve as writers and EPs.<\/p>\n

\n\tJackson and Starz have a longstanding relationship; he\u2019s an executive producer of the Power <\/em>franchise, BMF<\/em>\u00a0and the unscripted\u00a0The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast<\/em>. But there\u2019s one genre he hasn\u2019t cracked. Comedy. \u201cI want to do a scripted comedy show,\u201d he tells Fallon. Naturally, the talkshow host put his hand up.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe New York hip-hop heavyweight, who scored four No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 2000s, including a nine-week reign with 2003\u2019s \u201cIn Da Club,\u201d is also the proud owner of green thumbs.<\/p>\n

\n\tJackson recounted the opening of the Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson Community Garden in the South Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, a green space inspired by Bette Midler\u2019s New York Restoration Project and his G-Unity Foundation. \u201cWhen I realized what they did,\u201d he said of the project to transform a neglected lot into an outdoor learning space, \u201cI wanted to do that in my neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
