The Dipset legend has been teasing ideas all week, and on Friday (September 13), he took to Instagram to recruit a crew for the movie.
He wrote: “Here is your opportunity to shine!!! [film camera emoji] I am officially shooting my 20 year anniversary album and looking for some team players to be on Set to work!! Be apart of my history!”

Earlier this week, Jones had some kind words for the late Takeoff as the Dipset rapper celebrated his 2022 Migos collaboration, “We Set The Trends,” receiving a gold certification.
Sharing a video to Instagram, an elated Jim made note of the fact he was still receiving plaques after two decades in the game, then revealed it was Takeoff who brought him the song.
“You better check ya temperature when you talking to a n-gga in 2024 that been in this shit for 20 years and just got a gold record!” Capo said.
“First of all, RIP to TakeOff. Rocket, I feel you. I love you, bro. We went gold on that. We set the trends, bro. He said, ‘I got one for you, Unc.’ Told me load it up. I’m forever indebted to you. TakeOff, man – I miss you to death.”

David Lee Roth made an unexpected appearance at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday evening, stepping onto the stage with Teddy Swims to perform “Jump,” the iconic 1984 hit by Van Halen.
During his Stagecoach set, Swims welcomed Roth after running through his recent single “Mr. Know It All” along with “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” both taken from his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which arrived in September 2023.
This moment marked the third straight festival where the two have shared the stage. Swims previously invited Roth out during recent sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where he introduced him as “David Lee Roth from the best band of all time, Van Halen,” before they kicked into “Jump” together.
The latest performance unfolded during a chaotic night at Stagecoach, as strong winds earlier in the evening led to a temporary evacuation of the grounds and forced several changes to the schedule, including removing artists such as Journey and Riley Green from the lineup.
The evacuation came after powerful gusts swept through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the site of the festival. An “emergency evacuation” notice appeared on screens across the venue, urging attendees to “move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit,” while alerts sent through the festival’s official app instructed people to clear the area.
The interruption impacted several stages, with the Mane Stage sitting between sets when the evacuation alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening as part of a regional wind advisory.
Even with the disruption, Swims’ set ultimately continued, and Roth’s surprise appearance stood out as one of the biggest highlights of the night as fans returned once the festival resumed.
Stagecoach, one of the largest country music festivals in the United States, takes place every year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and regularly draws tens of thousands of fans.
