50 Cent is expanding his entertainment career by joining the cast of The Fifth Wheel, an upcoming comedy for Netflix directed by Eva Longoria. The project also features Kim Kardashian, Nikki Glaser, and Brenda Song among its ensemble cast.
According to TMZ, 50 Cent spent time filming scenes over two days in Los Angeles, working alongside the cast at Exchange LA. While details about his character have not been confirmed, sources say his participation in the production is quite active, and he is expected to appear on screen rather than remain behind the scenes.
The film centers on Kardashian’s character, described as the “hot outsider” who unexpectedly joins a reunion trip in Las Vegas where a group of high school friends are trying to reconnect for a weekend getaway. The comedy also includes performances from actors such as Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson, and Scott MacArthur.
The role marks another step in 50 Cent’s growing film and television portfolio. Beyond his 2005 debut in Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and later appearances in movies like Southpaw, Den of Thieves, and Expend4bles, he has also built a major production career, particularly through executive producing the Power universe.
He is also slated to take on a role in an upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ (film adaptation) project, further highlighting his crossover work between music, film, and gaming entertainment.
