“Paid in Full” to Become a Gritty Premium TV Series, Co-Executive Produced by 50 Cent and Cam’ron
Fans of hip-hop noir and Harlem street narratives, rejoice: one of the most compelling cult classics of the early 2000s is getting a high-stakes reboot. On September 8, 2025, legendary rapper and producer 50 Cent officially revealed that he has secured the rights to the 2002 film Paid in Full and is now developing it into a premium television series. In a bold move that bridges past and present, Cam’ron—who starred as Rico in the original film—is teaming up with 50 Cent as executive producer on the project.
50 Cent took to Instagram, saying, “I now have the rights to PAID IN FULL, im developing it into a premium TV show… Cam set to Executive produce alongside me, if you want in get at him” Cam’ron responded with equal enthusiasm, teasing, “So, we’ve been talking about this for a few months now, and it’s almost time… We gonna burn this s**t down!!” The Paid in Full film is rooted in the true-life stories of Harlem hustlers Azie Faison, Rich Porter, and “Alpo” Martinez capturing the ambition, betrayal, and danger of those streets. This new vision promises to expand on the original’s raw storytelling in a serialized format tailored for today’s premium-TV audience.
