Key Glock wants 50 Cent to dip into the G-Unit archives bring back a new version of the cult classic video game 50 Cent: Bulletproof.
On Wednesday (March 8), the Paper Route Empire rapper took to Twitter and retweeted a clip featuring the opening scene to the video game showing the G-Unit boss giving a rundown of his crew consisting of Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Tony Yayo.
In his tweet, Glizock kept his request plain and simple telling 50 that he and a group of other video game fanatics need an updated version of the iconic video game.
“Ay @50cent we need a newer version,” Key Glock wrote.
50 Cent: Bulletproof was released in November 2005 on Playstation 2 and Xbox. Although panned by critics, the game was a hit with fans and sold 1.1 million copies. It was praised for its in-game music that included actual 50 Cent songs and its deep storyline that focused on the rapper taking revenge against the hitmen that tried to murder him.
A sequel titled 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand was released in February 2009 on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Despite being a major improvement from its predecessor, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand sold an estimated 56,000 copies in the United States which wasn’t enough to guarantee another installment in the series.
Fans thought 50 Cent was going to jump into the video game space once again with an announcement he made earlier this month. The rap mogul sent fans into a frenzy by sharing the logo for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Miami Vice-inspired video game that dropped in 2002.
In his caption, Fif hinted at working on a television series claiming the project would be even bigger than his Power universe on STARZ.
“I will Explain this later, GLG. GreenLightGang,” he wrote cryptically. “this shit bigger than POWER trust me. BOOM.”
However, 50 debunked those rumors when he announced plans for his next original series titled Vice City, which he’s developing in collaboration with Paramount+ and Lionsgate Television.
Vice City reportedly “follows three friends, and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid-’80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal.”
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
